sorry i wrote too fast 
it also saves the psd in the same folder with 2 layers inside a layerset
GREATTTTT
I tried the older version of the script with other stacks and everything is working correctly... actually the problem was with the pictures i used to test it.. never thought about this 
i think you are a great programmer, for real!
What's wrong with pictures you used for test, why they don't have resolution? What is difference between them and regular ones? Can you also check my last post - I updated it. Regarding being great programmer - I think SuperMerlin is greater 
Hi,
hope this finds you well!!
do you think you are going to work on this in the next days? if not i wil try to make the changes, let's see what happens
anyway thank you again for your efforts
I'm sorry for delay. I had to focus on other huge project I started actually before your script. But it's almost finished, so I will try today evening to finish also this one for you. If not today then probably tomorrow. Thx for patience, and of course that's something interesting to me to get it done
Hi Kukurykus,
i want to share with you the result of my hard coding day 
this is where i am at the moment:
the structure of the folders and layers is working good
the script saves the file in the parent parent folder of the stack
it saves a tiff with lzw compression and name it with the right filename
i know i'm a donk in coding, but i'm pretty happy about how it is working

Yestarday I had no time while today I woke up late, but now I have time to focus on it what I'm going to do for next hours
For now I had time to focus on the hardest for me thing, so Br part. Now you can decide which Stacks you want to process:
sel = (ad = app.document).selectionLength
if (arr = [], sel && sLen = (stck = ad.stacks).length) {
ad.chooseMenuItem('CollapseAllStacks'), str = ''
for(i = 0; i < sel; i++) str += ad.selections.name + '|'
function iO(v) {return str.indexOf(v)}; for(i = 0; i < sLen; i++) {
if (iO((itm = (s = stck).thumbnails[0].name + '|')) + 1) {
str = str.replace(itm, ''), image = stck.thumbnails
arr[l = arr.length] = new Array, tLen = image.length
for(j = tLen - 1; j >= 0; j--) arr
= image .spec m = function() {return image[0].core.quickMetadata}
w = m().width, h = m().height, x = m().xResolution || 300
r = !((Math.abs(new Thumbnail(arr
[0]).rotation / 90) + 2) % 3) if (r) h = ([w = h, m().width])[1]; arr
[tLen] = {w: w, h: h, x: x} if (arr.length == sel) break;
}
}
}
Also change last 2 lines to:
arr = arr.toSource(), (bT = new BridgeTalk()).target = 'photoshop'
if (arr.length) bT.body = Ps.toString() + '\nPs(' + arr + ')', bT.send()
It still does not work with nasted folders (so Smart Objects in Smart Objects if that was Ps). I will do it after all other parts...
ah btw I noticed you marked as correct solution wrong one in this topic: apply layer mask / that was mine, not yours
Here are another improvements. Now you can keep original resolution of each layer in created document as well as keep original dimension of all stacked layers so if they were bigger/smaller or had other orientation it will be taken into account. It also is storing layer names to choose the shortest and save new .psd with its name. So it is doing now almost everything. EDIT: there was a bug. It opened all next stack with dimension of first stuck. Now it works correctly. I also added files will be saved as tif's. I changed also order of layers beeing placed in a file. Previously there was wrong order, not the same as Stacks got. Last thing is you can run it now clicking right mouse button on selected thumbnail(s) to choose last item called 'Stacks':
#target bridge
Stacks = new MenuElement('command', 'Stacks', 'at the end of Thumbnail')
Stacks.onSelect = function() {
sel = (ad = app.document).selectionLength
if (arr = [], sel && sLen = (stck = ad.stacks).length) {
ad.chooseMenuItem('CollapseAllStacks'), str = ''
for(i = 0; i < sel; i++) str += ad.selections.name + '|'
function iO(v) {return str.indexOf(v)}; for(i = 0; i < sLen; i++) {
if (iO((itm = (s = stck).thumbnails[0].name + '|')) + 1) {
str = str.replace(itm, ''), image = stck.thumbnails
arr[l = arr.length] = new Array // array of all stacks
m = function() {return image
.core.quickMetadata} for(tLen = image.length, j = 0; j < tLen; j++) {
arr

The last thing I have to do is to make a loop over Br Stacks so they can be opened in Ps in subfolder imitating deeper stacks.
