The following script will not run in when wrapped in a menu item. But the main function runs fine on its own...

 

Any idea whats going on. 

 

 

#target bridge

var menu = MenuElement.create( "command", "Anon_forSending", "at the end of Tools");

menu.onSelect = function(m) { main() }


function main(){ 
    var selectedThumbnails = app.documents[0].getSelection();
        var modified = 0;
        for (var i = 0; i < selectedThumbnails.length; ++i) {
                            var val = decodeURI(selectedThumbnails[i].name);
                            var f = new File (decodeURI(selectedThumbnails[i].path))
            if (stripFileExtension)
                val = val.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
    p = (val.match(/_0/).index)+1
    val =val.substr(p,4)
    newName = val + '.psd'
    var f1 = new File (f.parent + "/" + newName)
    if (f1.exists == true){newName = val + '_1' + '.psd'}
    
            var metadata = selectedThumbnails[i].synchronousMetadata;
              metadata.namespace = 'http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/';
            metadata.applyMetadataTemplate("clearall", "replace")
            selectedThumbnails[i].name = newName
 
        }

            }

You need to rewrite it to do the rename after a delay, or rename first and then do metadata operations on the file referencing the new name.

ive got another query on this script. After the script has run, It says the file (original filename) can no longer be found. Is there a way to avoid showing this error each time?

I need it to replace the metadata from the template and then rename. Its currently its renaming before the applying the metadata template. How can i get it to run one after another. thats why its throwing an error, as it can no longer find the files to clear there metadata.
