Please, Help me modify this script, thanks.

This script is used for ps to automatically zoom to 100% after opening an image.
Now I want to add a function: after zooming in 100%, pop up the image size setting dialog box.

I'm going to change the width of the image。
Thank you very much.

setZoom (100);

function setZoom( zoom ) {
   cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
   var docRes = activeDocument.resolution;
   activeDocument.resizeImage( undefined, undefined, 72/(zoom/100), ResampleMethod.NONE );
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
   var ref = new ActionReference();
   ref.putEnumerated( cTID( "Mn  " ), cTID( "MnIt" ), cTID( 'PrnS' ) );
   desc.putReference( cTID( "null" ), ref );
   executeAction( cTID( "slct" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
   activeDocument.resizeImage( undefined, undefined, docRes, ResampleMethod.NONE );
}

    The new forum software nested replies are often collapsed, which I don’t like:

     

     

    // Print Size
    var idslct = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
        var desc244 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
            var ref1 = new ActionReference();
            var idMn = charIDToTypeID( "Mn  " );
            var idMnIt = charIDToTypeID( "MnIt" );
            var idPrnS = charIDToTypeID( "PrnS" );
            ref1.putEnumerated( idMn, idMnIt, idPrnS );
        desc244.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
    executeAction( idslct, desc244, DialogModes.NO );

     

    And:

     

    // Print Size
    var c2t = function (s) {
    	return app.charIDToTypeID(s);
    };
    var s2t = function (s) {
    	return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
    };
    var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
    var reference = new ActionReference();
    reference.putEnumerated( s2t( "menuItemClass" ), s2t( "menuItemType" ), s2t( "printSize" ));
    descriptor.putReference( c2t( "null" ), reference );
    executeAction( s2t( "select" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );

    Hi ​@Stephen Marsh  

    Thank you very much.

    I don't seem to be able to open this URL.
    I know how to add an event.
    Can't we achieve this by modifying the code?
    For example, by changing this part to display “Print Size”:
    activeDocument.suspendHistory(“Set Zoom to 100%”, “setZoom(100)”);

    You can simply do this via an action, using the “insert menu item command” to insert the Print Size command.

     

    The Script Events Manager can then automatically run this action on document open event.

     

    Or one of the previous script codes that I recently posted for Print Size can be used rather than the action.

     

    As I previously wrote, I don’t see any benefit in updating the old code you mentioned as it is so different.

    Sometimes I need to add code to scripts in InDesign.
    So I’d like to use code.

    Or one of the previous script codes that I recently posted for Print Size can be used rather than the action.

    Where is it?

    Hi ​@Stephen Marsh 

    If I want to display “Print Size,”
    how do I modify this:
    activeDocument.suspendHistory(“Set Zoom to 100%”, “setZoom(100)”);

    ​@dublove 

     

    I’m not sure if it makes sense to update the old script to use the print size command?

     

    Forgetting the old script for now, all you need to do is use this raw SL code:

     

    // Print Size
    var idslct = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
        var desc244 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
            var ref1 = new ActionReference();
            var idMn = charIDToTypeID( "Mn  " );
            var idMnIt = charIDToTypeID( "MnIt" );
            var idPrnS = charIDToTypeID( "PrnS" );
            ref1.putEnumerated( idMn, idMnIt, idPrnS );
        desc244.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
    executeAction( idslct, desc244, DialogModes.NO );

     

    Or this “cleaned” version:

     

    // Print Size
    var c2t = function (s) {
    	return app.charIDToTypeID(s);
    };
    var s2t = function (s) {
    	return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
    };
    var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
    var reference = new ActionReference();
    reference.putEnumerated( s2t( "menuItemClass" ), s2t( "menuItemType" ), s2t( "printSize" ));
    descriptor.putReference( c2t( "null" ), reference );
    executeAction( s2t( "select" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );

     

    Let me know if you need to do more than this in a script.

    ​@Stephen Marsh 

    I want the image to appear more true to life in terms of size when I open it in Photoshop.

    For example, if the ruler in Photoshop shows 100 mm, I can use a ruler to measure the actual size on the screen, and the two should be very close.
    It should look just like a real 100 mm object.

    See if this works for you

     

    setZoom (100);

function setZoom( zoom ) {
   cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
   var docRes = activeDocument.resolution;
   activeDocument.resizeImage( undefined, undefined, 72/(zoom/100), ResampleMethod.NONE );
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
   var ref = new ActionReference();
   ref.putEnumerated( cTID( "Mn  " ), cTID( "MnIt" ), cTID( 'PrnS' ) );
   desc.putReference( cTID( "null" ), ref );
   executeAction( cTID( "slct" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
   activeDocument.resizeImage( undefined, undefined, docRes, ResampleMethod.NONE );
}

sTID = function(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };
  try {
    executeAction(sTID('imageSize'), undefined, DialogModes.ALL);
  }catch (e) { if (e.number!=8007) { alert("Line: "+e.line+"\n\n"+e,"Bug!",true); throw(e); } }
