Question

Running a Script in PS on a Surface Pro 6

I just got a surface pro 6 to edit on the go and away from my desk. I love it except on my desktop I use AutoLoader to edit one photo and then when done it pulls up the next one. I tried to follow the install directions which tells me to copy the folder to the scripts folder and then it will work (i did this for my desktop and it works fine). But, on the SurfacePro there is no scripts folder under the preset folder. All the other folders seem to be there. I even tried making a scripts folder and that does not work. Does PS on the Surface Ori 6 not support scripts? I have asked to the creator of AutoLoader and he does not know either. Anyone know a workaround? Thank you!!!

In Every version of  Photoshop after Photoshop version 7  Photoshop scripting has been a standard Photoshop feature and there should be a folder in each Photoshop Install tree \Presets\Scripts\ where Adobe supplied scripts like Image Processor.jsx is installed. If missing you have an installation problem. I have no autoloader add on though. $75 to ease opening files seems a bit much  to me where Image Processor Pro is free and more versatile IMO.

I bought Autoloader probably about 10 years ago and not for that much way back then and I still use it every day so it has come in quite handy. In the presets folder on the Surface Pro there was no scripts folder at all...there was one for actions, brushes, etc... I will look up the Image Processor pro as I have not heard of it before. Thank you for the tip!

You have a Photoshop instalation problem then.  Perhaps you accidebtly moved Photoshop's scripts folder on your Surface Pro 6 system.  On my Surgace Pro 3 there is a scrpts folder in every Photoshop versions's Persets folder.  Every Photoshop install since Photoshop version 7 has a scripts folder in Photoshop's presets folder.
