saveOptions Softimage PIC / OpenEXR

Hi,

I would like to add the Softimage PIC and OpenEXR file formats for a jsx script. I was wondering how we can access to the classes/objects for the formats that are not define by default in Photoshop in order to set options in the saveAs function.

Thanks

At the moment, there are no options for either of those formats beyond the filename/path.

You'll need the 4 character descriptor codes for each format (which you could grab from the listener or parsing the resources).

Yes, indeed, this plugin is very useful for getting the code of operations we can do in Photoshop that aren't not available in scripting.

Thanks you guys for your help!

If you can save out in these formats, you will need to install the scriptlistener plugin then use the output (if any) for your new formats.

Here is an example of saveing the active document to the desktop using openEXR

var saveFile = File("~/desktop/testFile.exr");
saveEXR(saveFile);
function saveEXR(saveFile){
if(activeDocument.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.THIRTYTWO){
 alert("This document needs to be 32bit before saving as EXR");
 return;
}
var idsave = charIDToTypeID( "save" );
    var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idAs = charIDToTypeID( "As  " );
    desc6.putString( idAs, "OpenEXR" );
    var idIn = charIDToTypeID( "In  " );
    desc6.putPath( idIn, saveFile );
executeAction( idsave, desc6, DialogModes.NO );
}
