My idea now is to modify the function of the checkbox of this script that gained functionality thanks to our friend SuperMerlin: The purpose of it when enabled, will be to add a more precise final size, increasing only the width of the document, using the same numeric value "cm "Assigned to the two added central tabs.

Example: As shown in the illustration below:

Script:

  1. #target photoshop;  
  2. app.bringToFront();  
  3.   
  4. var dial = new Window ("dialog", "My Dialog", undefined);    
  5. dial.orientation = "column";    
  6. dial.alignChildren = "fill";    
  7. dial.margins = 20;    
  8.   
  9. var dPanel = dial.add ("panel", undefined, "Document Finished Size");    
  10. dPanel.orientation = "column";    
  11. dPanel.alignChildren = "left";    
  12. dPanel.margins = 15;    
  13.   
  14. var aLevels = dPanel.add ("checkbox", undefined, "Add Finished Size");

  17. dGroup.orientation = "row";    
  18. dGroup.alignChildren = "left";    
  19.   
  20. var st = dGroup.add ("statictext", undefined, "Add Center Guides:");    
  21.   
  22. var nField = dGroup.add ("edittext", undefined, "1");    
  23. nField.characters = 4;    
  24.

  30. gButtons.alignChildren = ["right", "right"];    
  31.   
  32. var canc = gButtons.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel", {name:"cancel"});    
  33. var exe = gButtons.add ("button", undefined, "To Apply", {name:"ok"});    
  34. exe.onClick = function(){  
  35. dial.close(0);  
  36. var doc = app.activeDocument;  
  37. app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;  
  38. var strtRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;  
  39. var strtTypeUnits = app.preferences.typeUnits;  
  40. app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;  
  41. app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.PIXELS;  
  42. var Res = doc.resolution;  
  43. if(aLevels.value){  
  44.     //code goes here for "Add Finished Size"   
  45.     //No idea what you mean.  
  46.     }  
  47. var cm = Res/2.54;  
  48. var Width = doc.width;  
  49. var selectedCM = Number( nField.text.toString().replace(/,/g,'.'));  
  50. var leftGuide = (Width/2) - (cm * selectedCM/2);  
  51. var rightGuide = (Width/2) + (cm * selectedCM/2);  
  52. guideLine(leftGuide,'Vrtc','#Pxl');  
  53. guideLine(rightGuide,'Vrtc','#Pxl');  
  54. app.preferences.rulerUnits = strtRulerUnits;  
  55. app.preferences.typeUnits = strtTypeUnits;  
  56. }  
  57. if(documents.length) dial.show();   
  58. function guideLine(position, type,unit) {   
  59. //unit '#Pxl' pixel '#Rlt' =Relative to 72PPI '#Prc' = percent  
  60. // types: 'Vrtc' & 'Hrzn'   
  61. var desc = new ActionDescriptor();  
  62. var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();  
  63. desc2.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Pstn'), charIDToTypeID(unit), position);  
  64. desc2.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Ornt'), charIDToTypeID('Ornt'), charIDToTypeID(type) );

  66. executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc, DialogModes.NO );  
  67. }; 

Abierto to all.

To me it seems like you are trying to tile a couple of images for your book cover.   IMO you would be better off using a template file.  It could be some much more than two tiled images.

If you want to tile images why limit the tiling to one row of two images.  IMO all you need do is specify is the tile size and the wall width and height.  The size of the grout ares between tiles and  frame size around the tile area where the grout and frame size can be 0. Simple to script.

Something like Paste Image Roll script

The Script

    Hi pixxxel schubser Sorry, I confess I had imagined that those lines that you advised me would be a correction of an initial error in line 62, but already corrected.

    I am very happy that you helped a lot, you too a great programmer, I see the iIustrator forum daily and I consider you one of the best. I'm very grateful.

    I made tests here with the lines you advised me and realized that the final size added to the document does not match the values of the division added to the tabs.

    Example:

    Using your lines. For a document of dimensions: W 60cm x H 20cm + 3cm = 68.33cm x 20cm (added 8.3cm in W)

    Correct would look like this: W 60cm x H 20cm + 3cm = 63cm x 20cm

    The SuperMerlin script worked accurately.

    Upps.

    Yes. you are totally right. I did not tested fullfully. And I wrote a "typo" in the line. (@SuperMerlin use this variable as converting factor for the resolution and I thought it was for pixel/cm converting)

    desc3.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Wdth'), charIDToTypeID('#Rlt'), cm * selectedCM );

    should be

    desc3.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Wdth'), charIDToTypeID('#Rlt'), (72/2.54*selectedCM) );

    Then this script-variant also works as expected
