Hello -

 

I'd like to make a small script that I can easilychange the "Row Size" preview (from the "Layers" palette).

Is possible via Javascript?

ChatGPT says "NO", Gemini write this script (but it doesn't work)   😄

 

#target Illustrator

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var layerPanelOptions = doc.layerPanels[0].options;
layerPanelOptions.rowSize = LayerPanelRowSize.small;

 

Thank you for any help,

enjoy your day…

 

 

 - Dimitri

I'm pretty sure that currently one does not have access to these settings via javascript.

Hi Kurt -

 

Thx for your reply…

Could we imagine a Adobe Javascript that call an Applescript? What do you think?

 

I made already a small Applescript app that drop down some menus in Acrobat and check/ubcheck some "preferences".

So may be it could work?

Hi @dimitri_cas, it may work. Your applescript might be able to target "System Events" if I remember correctly and simulate UI, eg clicks etc. But if you can get it to work (a BIG if) it won't be pretty and won't play nice with a larger workflow unless maybe your whole workflow is in Applscript too. I'm no expert so I might be talking as much rubbish as Gemini!
