AH Menu Generator & Script Launcher for Bridge

Report · Sep 30, 2005

This is the beta version of a script that automates the creation of a menu for launching scripts from Bridge to run in a target Application. You can easily add and remove scripts from the menu. There are four modes for running scripts:

1. Left click: runs the script in the target app.

2. Shift-LeftClick: for each file selected in Bridge, opens the image in the target app, runs the script on it, then closes the image.

3. Ctrl-LeftClick or Cmd-LeftClick: same as 2 but leaves the images open.

4. Shift-Ctrl-LeftClick or Shift-Cmd-LeftClick: sends the list of selected files to the target app / script. The list is in the form of a string called ah_BridgeFilesAsString. The target script can 'eval' this to get the original file object list and do whatever it wants with it.

This script will be developed a lot further in the coming months and will probably get both more powerful and more simple for users. I may well end up running everything from the Edit Dialog, but for now it works via the menus.

Andrew, I've been to the ps-scripts link in your message and I can't find a download link for this new script. I may be blind, but can you point it out to me?

Hi John

I wonder how many other people have that problem but don't bother to tell me.

There are two downloads, at the bottom of the first post, in boxes with a paperclip and the word download on the right hand side. If you can't see them then something is happening with the browser but hopefully that is not the case.

Regards

Andrew

I don't see the paperclips. I looked in IE also (I normally use Firefox) and not there either.

At the very bottom of the screen, it says "You cannot download files in this forum", so I suspect that some piece of software is hiding the files from me.

The entire text in the bottom right corner is:

You can post new topics in this forum
You can reply to topics in this forum
You cannot edit your posts in this forum
You cannot delete your posts in this forum
You cannot vote in polls in this forum
You cannot attach files in this forum
You cannot download files in this forum

I think the problem is that while you can view posts as a guest you need to register with the BB to download. I need to reconsider those settings but for now I want to fix a (new) bug that is preventing the top menu from executing scripts all of a sudden (context menu working OK it seems).

Andrew

PS OK bug fixed, I'll change the settings to allow guests to download right now. In fact looking at that paste of yours more thoroughly, the settings for that forum are all wrong, I go back and sort them out.

Version 1.03 allows photoshop actions to be run from Bridge on the selected files.

Version 1.1 is still under trial however it fixes a few bugs with the previous version plus adds:

1. The ability to specify the default left-click run mode (eg run under batch on all files selected in Bridge, closing files when done).

2. The ability to prompt users for input before running the script - allowing users to provide parameters for the target script which will then be run on the selected files.
