Hey,

Basicly i have a list of all the files that are open in photoshop.
I was wondering if I could push a variable called "New file" into this list.
And check afterwards if the file is called like this.

var itemDoc = null;
//Dropdown list
w.NewList=w.add ("dropdownlist", undefined, app.documents);
w.NewList.preferredSize.width = 275;
//Place open files in list
w.NewList.selection = 0;  
itemDoc = w.NewList.selection.index;
//Get selected document from list
w.NewList.onChange= function ()
{  
itemDoc = w.NewList.selection.index;      
return itemDoc;  
}

Something like this?

#target photoshop
var fileList = new Array()
getList ();
var dlg = new Window('dialog','List of open files')
    var dropList = dlg.add('dropdownlist',undefined,fileList);
    dropList.selection = 0;
    dropList.onChange = function(){
        //some code here
        }
    dlg.show();
    
function getList(){
    fileList = new Array();
    for(var i=0;i<app.documents.length;i++){
        fileList.push(app.documents.name)
    }
    fileList.push('New File')
}

var w = new Window("dialog");
var itemDoc = null;  
var docs = app.documents;
var arr = [];
var n = docs.length;
while ( n--) arr = docs.name;
arr.push ( "New file" );
//Dropdown list  
w.NewList=w.add ("dropdownlist", undefined,  arr);  
w.NewList.preferredSize.width = 275;  
  
//Place open files in list  
w.NewList.selection = 0;    
itemDoc = w.NewList.selection.index;  
  
  
 var btn = w.add('button',undefined,"go");
//Get selected document from list  
w.NewList.onChange= function ()  
{    
itemDoc = w.NewList.selection.index;        
return itemDoc;    
} 
btn.onClick = function() {
alert("You want to open"+(w.NewList.selection.index == w.NewList.children.length-1? " a new file" : "an existing file") );
}
w.show();
