How do I finish this script to open the images in photoshop?

[jojoa16568050]

I'm a complete noob.

How do I open these images in photoshop?

     #target bridge;

     var files = Folder("/Users/chris.carey/Desktop/Get Some/").getFiles("*IMG*");

Thanks,

Chris

#target bridge
BT = '(function BT(v1, v2) {bt = new BridgeTalk(), bt.target = v1, \
bt.body = v2, bt.onResult = function(v) {return res = v.body} bt.send(2)})'
eval(BT + "('photoshop', 'File(decodeURI(Folder.startup)).fsName')")
for(fls = Folder('~/Desktop/Get Some').getFiles(/img/i), i = 0; i < fls.length; i++) {
     if (fls instanceof File) new Thumbnail(fls).openWith(res + '/photoshop.exe')
}

Ps. after you copy this code remove white spaces from end of 3rd line, as this poor editor produces some extra ones.

Hey Kukurykus!

Thanks for you reply, really appreciate the help!

I've placed my original code on top of your code and it hasn't worked, is that what I was meant to do?

I'm also using a mac will that be a problem?

This is what it looks like at the moment.

Thanks,

Chris

Your code got rewritten, so just use sole script of me I posted. I shortened path you used to: Folder('~/Desktop/Get Some')​

I'm seeing there's lack of closing bracket in your error. You may tell me also what kind of error it is. Maybe there is other bug.

[jojoa16568050]

Error - "File or folder does not exist"

I think could it be due to the /photoshop.exe seeing as im on a mac and that's windows file type?

Thanks

[Kukurykus]

Ah you're right. There are no .exe extension on Mac's (I'm on Windows). Go to Photoshop folder and check what's name of your Photoshop file. I heard it is .dmg mostly. You can use it in a script. If it doesn't work later I'll check it when I'm at home.

[jojoa16568050]

Looks like we're getting a little closer though, I've recived another error but brilliant cheers for your help kukurykus.

Why are you trying to use Bridge?

With Photoshop it would be:-

#target photoshop;
var files = Folder(Folder.desktop + "/Get Some/").getFiles("*IMG*");
for(var a in files){app.open(files);}

[Kukurykus]

What you would write in search filed on Google to see what is OSX Photoshop file extension?

I spent ten minutes and any keywords I used could not reveal me this secret, am I dumb?

[SuperMerlin]

There is no need to call Photoshop.

Here is an example of opening selected Bridge files in Photoshop:-

var selectedFiles=[];
for(var a = 0 ; a<app.document.selections.length;a++){
   if(app.document.selections.spec instanceof File ) selectedFiles.push(app.document.selections.spec);
    }
function script(fileList){
    for(var a in fileList){
        open(File(fileList));
        }
}
var bt = new BridgeTalk();
bt.target = "photoshop";
bt.body = "var ftn = " + script.toSource() + "; ftn(" + selectedFiles.toSource() +");"; 
bt.send(4);

[Kukurykus]

He doesn't want to open Files in Photoshop that are selected in Bridge. He wants to open them from a folder in Ps by Br

Anyway would you try on Browser what should I write in search filed to see what is OSX Photoshop file extension? THX!

Besides that I used .openWith(), not .open() method is that I guess you risk files may open in other Adobe product than Ps.

[SuperMerlin]

I am a Windows user not Mac so I would not know.

You should be using BridgeTalk then any platform will work.

[Kukurykus]

Not an answer to my question again, but let it be Problem with bT is that if you want to use Photoshop.(extension) you can check by script what's user Operating System, but I have no idea how to check appriopate Photoshop file extension by scripting so without entering this information while writing such script.

[SuperMerlin]

Sorry but I do not understand what you are saying.

This is using the OP's getFiles()

#target bridge;
var selectedFiles= Folder("/Users/chris.carey/Desktop/Get Some/").getFiles("*IMG*");
//check if selectFiles have the correct extension, if required
function script(fileList){
    for(var a in fileList){
        open(File(fileList));
        }
}
var bt = new BridgeTalk();
bt.target = "photoshop";
bt.body = "var ftn = " + script.toSource() + "; ftn(" + selectedFiles.toSource() +");"; 
bt.send(4);

[Kukurykus]

That I mean is:

When you are Windows user then it may be your Photoshop path:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018

And this is a file in this folder, you use to run Ps: Photoshop.exe

When you are Mac user then there is some other Ps path:

(some Macintosh path - similar to that Windows Ps path)

How by script check what's name & extension of file you use to run Ps

(so that equivalanet to Windows Photoshop.exe - can you tell me it?)

Is there any Photoshop scripting and bridgeTalk() command for this?

[SuperMerlin]

On a Mac things are different, have a look at this page:

What is the equivalent .exe file on OS X when launching general apps? - Quora

You could get the path via BridgeTalk I.E.

#target bridge;
function script(){
var ps =decodeURI(app.path);
var bt = new BridgeTalk();
bt.target = "bridge";
bt.body = 'alert("' +ps+'")';
bt.send(4);
}
var bt = new BridgeTalk();
bt.target = "photoshop";
bt.body = "var ftn = " + script.toSource() + "; ftn();"; 
bt.send(4);

[Kukurykus]

This script doesn't tell you name of file that is in Photoshop folder and is used to run Photoshop (so like photoshop.exe). It only says path to that file, what is very easy to check that or other way. Problem is you can't check name of the file.

Anyway looking at few sentences in that linked topic I suppose there is Photoshop.app on Macintosh.

[SuperMerlin]

You can get most information using BridgeTalk from another Adobe App. For information specific to a Mac you would need a Mac or get the Information from a Mac user.

[Kukurykus]

It is not about Mac / Win. It is about checking by script a name of file that runs Photoshop in the system you currently use.

[SuperMerlin]

The best I can think of is to use:

#target photoshop;

alert(app.path.getFiles("photoshop.*").join("\n"));

Then you can see what files are there?

[Kukurykus]

Yes of course, I figured this workaround myself too, but I hoped there may be some direct command, but there's not. THX

[Kukurykus]

What is your Photoshop file extension in your Photoshop folder? It would be good you pasted here also full path.

EDIT 1: basing on converstaion with SuperMerlin You should use: photoshop.app. Question is why could not you check it yourself, but waited I find it first though I'm not Mac user to see files extensions. For you it takes just few seconds to see it.

EDIT 2: so did that solution from EDIT1 helped you or there was no need me to spend some time and find it out for you?
