Script // Collect Items in Folders according to their names

[Dreamer Art]

Hi

I am working on script to collect Items in folder has the same name but not work well 

for(var a = 1; a <= app.project.numItems; a++)
{
   if((app.project.item(a).name == app.project.item(a).name) && (app.project.item(a) instanceof CompItem)){
   app.project.item(a).parentFolder = app.project.item(a);
    }    
}

Please,,, Help ;-}

Hye, so what I think is happening is that you are calling your items by their indexes and when you move those items into your folder all the indexes of the following items change. For instance if your folder's index is 4 and you move item n°1 into it the folder index become 3 andthe item's index is now 4... What you should do is running through your items as you currently do and instead of changing their folder's parent during that loop collect their ID into an array, then create a variable for your folder's ID and after you will be able to do a new loop in which you will call your items with project.itemByID(id) and change their parentfolder by targeting your folder through its id... The id unlike the index of an item won't change whatever you do in your project...

Hoping this will help you.

Thanks in advance, But it isn't working because ( app.project.itemByID ) works only with one ID and not Array

var folderID = new Array();
for(var a = 1; a <= app.project.numItems; a++)
{
folderID[folderID.length] = app.project.item(a).id;
}
app.project.itemByID[folderID].selected=true;

A simple test but it works only for one ID and not with Array

Sorry for those strange answers my phone bugged out.

So I was telling that the folderID array is a storage and will have to loop through it:

var folderID = new Array();

for(var a = 1; a <= app.project.numItems; a++) { folderID.push(app.project.item(a).id) }

for(var i=0;i<folderID.length;i++){app.project.itemByID(folderID[i]).selected = true}

Oui ça marche Merci beaucoup pour votre temps et vos efforts :-))

try:



var folderID = new Array(); for(var a = 1; a <= app.project.numItems; a++) { folderID.push(app.project.item(a).id) }

for(var i=0;i}
