Just put the jsx-files into the Presets > Scripts-folder.

After restarting Photoshop the Script should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action or (in CS4 and CS5) be used in a Configurator-Panel.

Configurator buttons can either refer to a Script or contain its code.

Hello, please help! I'm trying to run a VBS script from within Photoshop! I know I should start the VBS script by a JSX script, but I can't find the right command for that! Thanks in advance,

David

var myvbs = new File ('/c/wherever/myvb.vbs');

myvbs.execute();

Thanks for the help. But it doesn't work. the jsx file executes itself, but then the vbs script is not launched.

Another question: if both scripts are in the same folder, is it necessary to write the full path of the vbs file inside the jsx code?

Thanks

Hi all,

I am on Windows 7. All my scripts are in the same folder (c:\Photoshop Scripts).

Every script begins as follow :

// MAC Finder or WINDOWS Explorer  double clic enabled 
#target photoshop
app.bringToFront();

I launch my scripts with links created in a desktop folder. JSX extension is associated to Photoshop. Nothing else to do. The scripts open Photoshop. I never use any browser.

Excuse my poor English.

If you're on Windows 7, you can drag the script file over your Photoshop icon on the taskbar to "pin" the script to the right-click menu for Photoshop. Any time you would need to run it, just right-click the icon on the taskbar and select the script from the "Pin list".

If your on windows you can add a link(Windows Shortcut) to Adobe Photoshop Presets\script\ folder to your Phtoshop Scripts tree to link Photoshops script path with your script tree to keep your scripts sepreate from Adobe scripts. Photoshop will includ your Scripts, Plug-ins Scripts and Help in it File>Scripts> List, File>Automate>List and Help>About Plug-ins>List is like adding an additional Plug-in path to Photoshop Preferences.

Hello, I'm trying what you said. Should the Windows Shortcut be inside the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Presets\Scripts folder?

Thanks
