Scripting error Photoshop CS6
Photoshop CS6 Windows 10Pro
After a major computer crash and a new install on a new computer a script I wrote more than 10 years ago as stopped working. I'm not sure this is the exact one that worked as I found it under a file named "old scripts" but, it is pretty close. The purpose of the script is to first open a dialog box to imput a name, it then adds that to the front of the file name then saves to a folder. It then creates a new image, pastes the original image and another image saved in a folder flattens the result then saves that result to two different places, closes the image and returns to bridge. Here is my not so elegant code.
//Event save and print
//===================================
//saveas to "D:/1 today modified"
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var dirPath ="D:/1 today modified/";
var docRef = activeDocument;
function getInfo(){
fileName = Window.prompt("Enter Name!","");
if (fileName == null)
{
alert("Script aborted!");
return; // quit
}
else{ //lets save the file
saveFile = new File(dirPath + fileName + " "+ fname +"");
SaveJPEG(saveFile,12);
}
}
function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){
doc.flatten();
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions()
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE
jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality //1-12
doc.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, false,Extension.LOWERCASE)
}
{
fname = docRef.name;
}
getInfo();
//=============================================
//save without ad
var saveFile = new File("C:/Event/Today without ad/" + activeDocument.name);
SaveJPEG(saveFile,12);
//var saveFile = new File("C:/Event/Today without ad/" + fileName + " " + activeDocument.name);
SaveJPEG(saveFile,12);
function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions()
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE
jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality //1-12
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, false,Extension.LOWERCASE)
}
//=============================================
//save without ad to second drive
var saveFile = new File("D:/1 Event prints backup/" + activeDocument.name);
SaveJPEG(saveFile,12);
//var saveFile = new File(""D:/1 Event prints backup/" + fileName + " " + activeDocument.name);
SaveJPEG(saveFile,12);

}I get this error
There are four lines that trigger it.
This 3 times
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, false,Extension.LOWERCASE)and this once.
doc.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, false,Extension.LOWERCASE)this is the expected 8x12 result from an original 8/10 without the added info.
As I said I'm not positive that this is the script that worked but, it's close.
Thank you for looking.
