Rename Objects with the Fill Color name

Question

Hi, trying to improve the processes, I'm looking for a way to assign names to each object in a layer with the name of the fill color. I have already managed to change the names of the objects, but I want it to be an automatic process: When selecting the objects, it will be renamed according to its fill color.

Using a very simple code for each individual color:

var docRef = activeDocument;   
var sel = docRef.selection;   
for (var i=0; i < sel.length; i++)   
     sel.name = "Color20" ;

But I need the name to be taken from the fill color

To each object

Greeetings, I hope this solution is going to work for this problem!

Please try it.

It assumes your selection items are path items!

var docRef = activeDocument;

var sel = docRef.selection;

var storedSel = [];

for (var i=0; i < sel.length; i++){ // collect selection into a custom memory array

storedSel.push(sel);

}

docRef.selection = null; // clear the selection

var assocSwatch;

for (var i=0; i < storedSel.length; i++){ // select items one by one and get selected swatches in swathc panel

storedSel.selected = true;

assocSwatch = docRef.swatches.getSelected()[0];

storedSel.name = assocSwatch.name;

docRef.selection = null;

}
