Get List of all Photoshop Documents

Hi everybody

I was wondering - does anyone know of a way to get a list of all documents that are currently loaded into Photoshop? The list would include the entire title of each document, (including the @17097839.3%, (RGB/8)* that might come after each title, for example.)

Basically, it would be a simple list, with each title on its own new line.

I could have sworn that I had some code like this before, but can't find it.

Is this a simple task?

Thanks in advance

Correct answer SuperMerlin

No. This snippet only ignores the color profile and the color proof view. And I can't change this because of this snippet is only an older jsxbin. I didn't found the jsx.

Have fun


Does this help... 

var docs = app.documents;
var docList = new Array(docs.length);
var aDoc = null;
var l = null;
var m = null;
for (var i = 0; i < docs.length; i += 1) {
    aDoc = docs;
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putIndex(charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), i + 1);
    var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
    var z = " @" + (Math.round(Number(desc.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("zoom")) * 1000)) / 10) + "% (" + l = aDoc.layers.length > 1 ? aDoc.activeLayer.name + ", " : "";
    m = aDoc.bitsPerChannel.toString().replace("BitsPerChannelType.", "");
    docList = aDoc.name + z + aDoc.mode.toString().replace("DocumentMode.", "").replace("BITMAP", "Bitmap") + m = m == "ONE" ? ")" : (m == "EIGHT" ? "/8#)" : (m == "SIXTEEN" ? "/16#)" : "/32#)"));
}
alert(docList.join("\n"));

You can try to create an analogue of the title of the document window using the following template.

var Title = Copyrighted?"© ":"" + DocName + " @ " + Zoom + "% " +

"(" +

ActiveLayer?(ActiveLayerName + ", "):"" +

ActiveChannelName + "/" + Depth +

UntaggedSpaceIndicator?"#":"" +

NonWorkingSpaceIndicator?"*":"" +

ProofIndicator?("/"+Proof):"") +

PixelHSFIndicator?" [scaled]":"" +

")" +

DirtyDocIndicator?" *":"" +

PendingSaveIndicator?(" - Saving " + pcnt + "%"):""

It remains only to get the required parameters

Try this script (jsxbin). Works only on windows.

getdocs.jsxbin - Google Drive

r-bin: thanks - the script undocks all documents first ("float all in windows"), then presumably gets all document titles, then re-docks them all again - but the alert that pops up is empty.

SuperMerlin - thanks as well, I tried downloading ExtendedToolScript but the Cloud application window just keeps "waiting..." for hours - seems I can't download that app for whatever reason.

It's all good - it isn't that important a deal, I just seemed to remember having some code that did this a while back, but maybe it's more difficult than it appears

I checked my jsxbin script on CS6 win7 x64. Works great)

It is a bit of a mixture as that line does some profile checking, here is one way of getting all the information, but you would have to sort out the profile mismatches etc.

Script to be run from ExtendScript Toolkit.

#target photoshop;
$.writeln("Working spaces");
$.writeln("....................");
$.writeln(getWorkingColourSettings().join("\n"));
$.writeln("....................");
$.writeln(getDocInfo().join("\n"));
function getDocInfo(){
var IDs = new Array();
var count = app.documents.length;
for(var a =1; a<count+1;a++){
var ref = new ActionReference(); 
ref.putIndex( charIDToTypeID( 'Dcmn' ), a); 
var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
var Zoom = Number(desc.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID('zoom'))*100).toFixed(0); 
var Mode = typeIDToStringID(desc.getEnumerationValue( stringIDToTypeID( 'mode' )));
var Depth = desc.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID('depth'));
if(desc.hasKey (stringIDToTypeID( 'profile' ))){
var Profile = desc.getString(stringIDToTypeID( 'profile' ));
}else{
    var Profile = "#";
    }
var ID = desc.getInteger (stringIDToTypeID('documentID'));
var Title = desc.getString(stringIDToTypeID('title'));
IDs.push([[ID],[Title],[Zoom],[Mode],[Depth],[Profile]]);
    }
return IDs;
};
function getWorkingColourSettings(){
var ws = new Array();
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), stringIDToTypeID('colorSettings') );
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('capp'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
var desc = executeActionGet(ref).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('colorSettings'));
ws.push(desc.getString( stringIDToTypeID('workingRGB')));
ws.push(desc.getString( stringIDToTypeID('workingCMYK')));
ws.push(desc.getString( stringIDToTypeID('workingGray')));
return ws;
};

Not bad.

But IMO boo radley 2013​ means something like this:

pixxxel schubser: yes, that's it !

Do you happen to have a script for that?
