Script to add document size in cm
Hello Everyone,
I currently use a script to add the filename as a text layer on my document. I'm wondering if someone could suggest a script, or adjust my existing one below, to add the document width & height in cm.
// this script is a variation of the script addTimeStamp.js that is installed with PH7
if ( documents.length > 0 )
{
var originalDialogMode = app.displayDialogs;
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ERROR;
var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
try
{
var docRef = activeDocument;
// Now create a text layer at the front
var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
myLayerRef.name = "Filename";
var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
// strip the extension off
var fileNameNoExtension = docRef.name;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "." );
if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {
fileNameNoExtension.length--;
}
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join(".");
myTextRef.contents = fileNameNoExtension;
// off set the text to be in the middle
myTextRef.position = new Array( docRef.width / 2, docRef.height / 2 );
myTextRef.size = 20;
}
catch( e )
{
// An error occurred. Restore ruler units, then propagate the error back
// to the user
preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
app.displayDialogs = originalDialogMode;
throw e;
}
// Everything went Ok. Restore ruler units
preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
app.displayDialogs = originalDialogMode;
}
else
{
alert( "You must have a document open to add the filename!" );
}
So, if a document is 5000px x 10000px at 254 dpi, I would ideally like '50 x 100 cm' to output as a text layer.
I'm not worried about where it is placed or how it is formatted, as I can sort that afterwards in the action (which I do for the filename currently).
Any suggestions would be vastly appreciated!
Thanks in advance 👍
