Hi!

I have a jsx script, working as needed in Photoshop.

Now, if I execute the script fron another app, Photoshop goes from minimized to open and show a loaded picture, processing, and so on, accordning to script.

I want to call this script so, that Photoshop stays in background and minimized. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Have you tried inserting the Hide menu commend?

I'm guessing no, but would be happy to be proven wrong. It's possible to call another app to the front from a script, however, if Photoshop gains focus again then as the host app of the running script that could be how it is.

You can either use BridgeTalk (between Adobe apps that support it) or app.system() to open an app from the command line. Details vary per platform. You can call VBA and Powershell on Windows and AppleScript on the Mac, along with command-line.

BridgeTalk.bringToFront('photoshop');
