Batch Play Actions from Conditional Filename Parts + New Feature
Hello there!
I'm hoping that someone can help me complete the script provided below. I found it in another discussion here and am having a bit of trouble trying to add a new feature to it.
I need it to duplicate any PSD file that ends with -3, retain its name, and be added to this action queue.
Explanation:
We have product photos that need to be ran through some actions in order to format them for our needs. We only take a photograph of 1 side of the product & manually go in to create a duplicate, rename it, and then run it through an action as well. This block of code seems to fit what we need ALMOST perfectly, but I'm not sure how to fit in the tedious bit where we duplicate the file that ends with "-3.psd" while allowing it to retain its name before the suffix & then be ran through its own droplet to flip the photo and change the suffix to "-2.psd". The possibility of this being done to the "-3.jpg" after the fact is fine too, I just need the final product to end with a new "-2.jpg" file that is a horizontally flipped version of the original "-3" view.

Script to place Logos in diffrent phones cases in Photshop
The following code example presumes that a folder of input files have a hyphen - delimiter with variable case-sensitive text, such as a colour name:
myfile-RED.psd
myfile-GREEN.psd
myfile-BLUE.psd
An action matching the specified matching portion of the filename would then be applied, overwriting the original files.
The indexOf method is case sensitive:
if (app.activeDocument.name.indexOf('-RED') != -1) {
An alternative is to use a case insensitive regular expression based match:
if (app.activeDocument.name.match(/-Red/gi) != null) {
