Question

Can I rename *selected* layers with scripting?

Hello forum,

Let me just start off by saying I know NOTHING about Photoshop scripting.

But I recently encountered a need to rename a whole stack of layers in a certain file, so I went Googling...

I came across this Rename Layers script -- http://morris-photographics.com/photoshop/scripts/rename-layers.html

However, I was specifically interested in only renaming the layers that I have got selected in the Layers panel.

This script unfortunately renames *ALL* layers in the document.

Is it even possible to do what I want?

Thanks.

Yes. And the simplest thing to do is ask Trevor (the author) to tweak the script for you. If he's not slammed with other work, he should be able to help you out.

Thanks for the reply. I did email the author of the script a little while ago, but I thought I'd cover all bases and ask the question here on this forum too.
