Hello everybody,
I am looking for a big hand now.
I already create a "hotfolder" to link a photoshop script to a folder.
But this time it is not working and i can't get why.
This is the script i use (not working ones)
In Bridge CC start up script
//The Hot Folder will be the folder where you run the script.
//You should be able to use bridge as normal.
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
var newMenuHF = new MenuElement( "menu", "Hot Folder", "after Help", "hotFolder" );
var runHotFolder= new MenuElement( "command", "Start Hot Folder", "at the end of hotFolder" , "hotFolderxx" );
}
runHotFolder.onSelect = function () {
var thisFolder = encodeURI(Folder(app.document.presentationPath));
var cmd = "$.setenv('HotFolder','" +thisFolder+ "');";
var bt = new BridgeTalk();
bt.target = "photoshop";
bt.body = cmd;
bt.send();
processHotFolder = function(){
/* files to look for */
if(Folder(thisFolder).getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|cr2,nef)$/i).length <1) return;
if (BridgeTalk.getStatus("photoshop") == "IDLE"){
bt.target = "photoshop";
bt.body = "var PShotFolder = " + PShot.toSource() + "; PShotFolder();";
bt.send();
}
}
BottomBar = app.document.navbars.filesystem.bottom;
BottomBar.height = 30;
BottomBar.visible = true;
BottomBar.bu1 = BottomBar.add ('button',[5,5,300,25],'Stop Hot Folder');
id = app.scheduleTask( "processHotFolder()", 2000, true );
BottomBar.bu1.onClick=function(){
app.cancelTask (id);
BottomBar.visible = false;
}
function PShot(){
var SCRIPTS_FOLDER = decodeURI(app.path + '/' + localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts"));
var hotFile = new File(SCRIPTS_FOLDER + "/PShotFolder.jsx");
$.evalFile (hotFile);
}
};
I guess it's good...
Then my PShotfolder.jsx in the folder Scripts of the folder Preset:
#target Photoshop
main();
function main(){
if($.getenv('HotFolder') == null){
alert("Please re-start the Hot Folder in Bridge!");
return;
}
var hotFolder = Folder($.getenv('HotFolder'));
//create a couple of folders if they do not exist
var ProcessedFolder = Folder(hotFolder +"/Processed");
if(!ProcessedFolder.exists) ProcessedFolder.create();
var OriginalsFolder = Folder(hotFolder +"/Originals");
if(!OriginalsFolder.exists) OriginalsFolder.create();
//get a list of files in the hot folder
var fileList = hotFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|cr2,nef)$/i);
//This is where all the work is done
for(var z in fileList){
//Add your own code to suit your needs
//Example code ....
//open each file
open(fileList);
var Name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
//run an action ? app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.removeAll();
var doc = app.activeDocument;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var docName = doc.name;
var x =50;
var y = 50;
var sampler = doc.colorSamplers.add([x, y]);
switch (sampler.color.rgb.hexValue)
{case ("00A0B9"):
//pap bas
var layeroff = app.activeDocument.artLayers.getByName ("Arrière-plan copie");
layeroff.remove();
app.doAction("PAP BAS 3", "PAP STUDIO");
break;
case("00B4B9") :
//pap haut
var layeroff = app.activeDocument.artLayers.getByName ("Arrière-plan copie");
layeroff.remove();
// =======================================================
app.doAction("PAP TOP 2","PAP STUDIO");
break;
case( "0096AA") :
// pap pp
var layeroff = app.activeDocument.artLayers.getByName ("Arrière-plan copie");
layeroff.remove();
// =======================================================
app.doAction("PAP PP 3", "PAP STUDIO");
break;
//app.doAction('atn name', 'atnSet name');
//save processed file
//close file
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
//move file to Originals folder
fileList.rename(File(OriginalsFolder + "/" + fileList.name));
}
}
Have you any idea why the script do not work?
1) Do i properly write the jsx part ?
2) there is any any restrictions with kind of actions called by the script.
(in my actions i keep a dialog box open to trim the active doc... may be a mistake?)
I am lost
So if you can help me i will be ...saved.
THX
