Export File as TIFF... no file saved

Question

Could someone take a look at my script and see if you can get a file to be saved as a TIFF? VBscript is my main language so maybe I missed something in JavaScript. The script will run... I see an AI progress window open 'writing TIFF file", no error messages but then no file is saved?

function test(){

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var opts = new ExportOptionsTIFF();

var destFile = new File("C:\TIFF Test\SOCAL_CN68_resx.tif");

var type = ExportType.TIFF;

opts.resolution=72;

opts.imageColorSpace.Grayscale;

opts.AntiAliasing=AntiAliasingMethod.ARTOPTIMIZED;

opts.IZWCompression=false;

opts.artboardRange="1";

doc.exportFile(destFile, type, opts);

}

test();

So with further testing I was able to export a TIFF (thanks pixxxel schubser for the forward slash suggestion), and I don't even need the "DONTDISPLAYALERTS" as well.

But now I see none of the options are being used. Been trying all together and one at a time.

Here's my latest version using paths I would typically use:

function test(){

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var destFile = new File("/S/SOCAL/Section_32/Light TIFFs/SOCAL_CN68_resx.tif");

var type = ExportType.TIFF;

var opts = new ExportOptionsTIFF();

opts.imageColorSpace.Grayscale;

opts.resolution=72;

opts.AntiAliasing=AntiAliasingMethod.ARTOPTIMIZED;

opts.IZWCompression=false;

opts.artboardRange="1";

doc.exportFile(destFile, type, opts);

}

test();

There are some typos:

function test(){
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var destFile = new File("/d/Test/SOCAL_CN6811_resx.tif");
var type = ExportType.TIFF;
var opts = new ExportOptionsTIFF();
opts.imageColorSpace = ImageColorSpace.GrayScale;
opts.resolution=144;
opts.antiAliasing=AntiAliasingMethod.ARTOPTIMIZED;
opts.lZWCompression=false;
opts.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
opts.artboardRange="1";
doc.exportFile(destFile, type, opts);
} 
test();

Have fun

For Windows paths, make sure to escape the backslashes like so: "\"
