need script to export all layer names into an excel sheet or text file.

Hi. is there a way to skip the Hue/Saturation layers from the list, because they are getting added too?

Thanks,

Mukul

This is also possible with ExifTool using the following command:

exiftool -Photoshop:LayerNames PATH-TO-FILE-or-FOLDER

Which would output the following (which may be a little cryptic, see the screenshot below for a visual):

Color Fill 1, </Layer group>, Layer 0, Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3, Group 1, Layer 4, Invert 1

For an Adobe Illustrator .AI file, the command would be:

exiftool -a -XMP-egLayL:LayersName PATH-TO-FILE-or-FOLDER

Hi maninthebox390,
