[SCRIPT] Get Stacks from Thumbnails

Question

Can anybody help? I need to get stacks from thumbnails in Bridge.

I have lots of images, some stacked, and I can't find a way, in scripting DOM, to know if that thumbnail is part of a stack. I can get the files if I loop thru app.document.stacks. But I can't get the stacks from the thumbnails. Is it even possible?

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out.

There is a method that can help "getStackForThumbnail()".

This is the sample usage:

  //If a thumbanil belongs to a stack, we can get the stack object using getStackforThumbnail()
  var visibleThumbanils = app.document.visibleThumbnails;
  if (visibleThumbanils.length > 0)
  {
    var thumbnailObj = visibleThumbanils[0];
    
    // Call getStackForThumbnail to get the stack object containing this object
    var stackObject = app.document.getStackForThumbnail(thumbnailObj);
    if( stackObject )
    {
       $.writeln("This thumbnail is part of this stack object");
    }
    else
    {
        $.writeln("This thumbnail is not part of any stack object");
    }
  }

This code is part of the Developer SDK samples, particularly file "SnpManageStacks.jsx"

Deepak
