Hello guys,

I cannot get the code for saving only color settings to file and give it a  name. it is a .csf file that saved in \Adobe\Color\Settings folder.

the script listener seem doesn't get the code working.  I got this:

var idmodalStateChanged = stringIDToTypeID( "modalStateChanged" );

    var desc30 = new ActionDescriptor();

    var idLvl = charIDToTypeID( "Lvl " );

    desc30.putInteger( idLvl, 1 );

    var idStte = charIDToTypeID( "Stte" );

    var idStte = charIDToTypeID( "Stte" );

    var identer = stringIDToTypeID( "enter" );

    desc30.putEnumerated( idStte, idStte, identer );

    var idkcanDispatchWhileModal = stringIDToTypeID( "kcanDispatchWhileModal" );

    desc30.putBoolean( idkcanDispatchWhileModal, true );

    var idTtl = charIDToTypeID( "Ttl " );

    desc30.putString( idTtl, """Color Settings""" );

executeAction( idmodalStateChanged, desc30, DialogModes.NO );

// =======================================================

var idmodalStateChanged = stringIDToTypeID( "modalStateChanged" );

    var desc31 = new ActionDescriptor();

    var idLvl = charIDToTypeID( "Lvl " );

    desc31.putInteger( idLvl, 0 );

    var idStte = charIDToTypeID( "Stte" );

    var idStte = charIDToTypeID( "Stte" );

    var idexit = stringIDToTypeID( "exit" );

    desc31.putEnumerated( idStte, idStte, idexit );

    var idkcanDispatchWhileModal = stringIDToTypeID( "kcanDispatchWhileModal" );

    desc31.putBoolean( idkcanDispatchWhileModal, true );

    var idTtl = charIDToTypeID( "Ttl " );

    desc31.putString( idTtl, """Color Settings""" );

executeAction( idmodalStateChanged, desc31, DialogModes.NO );

Thanks very much.

That scriptlistener code Is not actually for  editing and saving your Photoshop Color setting.   Not everything you do in Photoshop is record able and script able.    You really need to know how Photoshop Manager code works and be able to scrip the get reference area to retrieve  Information like current settings.   Scriptlistener plug-in only seems to record the execution part of action manager code. not the get reference part. So you can try to see if Scriptlistener can record something like menu Edit>color settings... to have an interactive script.

So you could record and interactive  menu Edit>Color Settings.    To see if you edit Color setting and use save and load color setting files gets recorded.  You may be able to save settings to a file and load settings from a file using executeAction.

r-bin know action manager code is capable of.  Perhaps he can retrieve and set Photoshop Color setting with action manager code.  That above my pay grade.

When ever I see "modalStateChanged"  I normall considef the junk code. Sometime is=t actually is not and mas required. Again above my pay gtade.

I did a quicktry toe see what would be rescided to thing like and interactive Edit color settinge and save ald loaf color settibf fri a file.  The steps als seem to follow a "modalStateChanged"  besa a ster followed  he a "modalStateChanged"   Con bot get the core to work when I renoved the  junk "modalStateChanged" steps.

Here is the scriptlistener code that looked good to me: Butt did not seem to work for me.

// =======================================================

var idsetd = charIDToTypeID( "setd" );

    var desc26 = new ActionDescriptor();

    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );

        var ref10 = new ActionReference();

        var idPrpr = charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" );

        var idcolorSettings = stringIDToTypeID( "colorSettings" );

        ref10.putProperty( idPrpr, idcolorSettings );

        var idcapp = charIDToTypeID( "capp" );

        var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );

        var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );

        ref10.putEnumerated( idcapp, idOrdn, idTrgt );

    desc26.putReference( idnull, ref10 );

executeAction( idsetd, desc26, DialogModes.NO );

save

        var idcapp = charIDToTypeID( "capp" );

        var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );

        var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );

        ref13.putEnumerated( idcapp, idOrdn, idTrgt );

    desc38.putReference( idnull, ref13 );

    var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T   " );

        var desc39 = new ActionDescriptor();

        var idUsng = charIDToTypeID( "Usng" );

        desc39.putPath( idUsng, new File( "C:\\Users\\jjmac\\Desktop\\SavecColorSettings.csf" ) );

    var idcolorSettings = stringIDToTypeID( "colorSettings" );

    desc38.putObject( idT, idcolorSettings, desc39 );

executeAction( idsetd, desc38, DialogModes.NO );

    Sorry about my typing never was able to learn that skill. One of the reasons I only hack at scripting from time to time.  Not knowing JavaScript is an other.
