Event Script manager - Closed document - event

Sorry, I can't help.

I create a listener for many things, like a listener for color samplers creation.

The idea of the listener is to perform something immediately after it has been listened/triggered.

But using the 'close' activeDocument listener, it means that it will run when it was just closed = you cannot do anything to something that doesn't exist anymore.

But I agree that Adobe should do an exception in this special event, because if you want to ensure that a team doesn't close anything before doing something, it should have this option to run something before.

Here is the code I use to create that listener:

// close activeDocument listener
if (BridgeTalk.appName == "photoshop"){
    var myCloseDocScript = new File(Folder.desktop +"/myCloseDocScript.jsx");
    try {
        if (File(myCloseDocScript).exists) {
            app.notifiers.add("Cls ", myCloseDocScript);
        }
    }catch(e){}
}

Another option would be to open the document again apply your script and close the document.

If you don't know what the last document was you could try:-

app.open(app.recentFiles[0]);

For some reason the Recent File list is not always updated maybe smeone might know why?

I would recommend setting up the Script to do whatever and then close the active image, then assigning it the default close-shortcut (cmd-W on a Mac).
