looping through folders and subfolders

Report · Aug 05, 2012

Hi,

I'm about to create a script to check some tifs and jpgs for the right height and width, resolution and so on.

I could get it to work if I see the files in the content panel (looping through the files by app.document.getSelection ...

The script needs to check many files in different subfolders (all in one parent folder), so I don't like to use a collection to reveal all files of all subfolders first and then start the script.

My plan is to choose the parent folder in the folder panel and the script should loop through each file of each subfolder ...

So maybe there's someone who knows a solution for this problem, it would be great!

Thanks a lot,

Sebastian.

This should get you started...

#target bridge   
var folders =[];
folders = FindAllFolders(Folder(app.document.presentationPath), folders);
folders.unshift(Folder(app.document.presentationPath));
for(var a in folders){
var fileList = folders.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif)$/i);
for(var p in fileList){
var thumb = new Thumbnail(fileList
);
var height = thumb.core.quickMetadata.height;
var width = thumb.core.quickMetadata.width;
var Resolution = thumb.core.quickMetadata.xResolution;
if(Resolution ==0) Resolution =72;
//do your processing here
//$.writeln(decodeURI(thumb.spec) + "," + height + "," + width + "," + Resolution);
    }
}
function FindAllFolders( srcFolderStr, destArray) {
 var fileFolderArray = Folder( srcFolderStr ).getFiles();
 for ( var i = 0; i < fileFolderArray.length; i++ ) {
  var fileFoldObj = fileFolderArray;
  if ( fileFoldObj instanceof File ) {   
  } else {
         destArray.push( Folder(fileFoldObj) );
  FindAllFolders( fileFoldObj.toString(), destArray );
  }
 }
 return destArray;
}

Wow,

That was fast, I'll test it tommorow in the morning, thanks a lot so far!

Hopefully I'll be able to get our scripts together...

Thanks

Sebastian
