File Location of Pasted Image

Hi,

It looks like throwing an eps file exposes some XMP metadata where you can find the link paths:

var main = function() {
    
    var doc,
    epsFile, 
    epsOpts = new EPSSaveOptions,
    xmpStr,
    epsStr,
    uip = app.userInteractionLevel,
    startInDex, endIndex, 
    xml, links, n = 0, arr = [];
        


    epsOpts.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
    epsOpts.embedLinkedFiles = true;
    epsOpts.includeDocumentThumbnails = false;
    
    if ( !app.documents.length) return;
    doc = app.activeDocument;
    
    app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
    
    epsFile = File ( Folder.temp+"/psf.eps") ;
    epsFile.exists && epsFile.remove();
    doc.saveAs( epsFile, epsOpts );
    
    app.userInteractionLevel = uip;
    epsFile.open('r');
    epsStr = epsFile.read();
    xmpStr = /<x:xmpmeta/.exec(epsStr);
    epsFile.close();
    epsFile.remove();
    
    if ( xmpStr === null) {
        alert( "unable to read data");
        return;
    }
    
    startInDex = xmpStr.index;
    endIndex = /<\/x:xmpmeta/.exec(epsStr).index+12;
    
    
    xml= XML (epsStr.substring (startInDex, endIndex));
    
    if (!xml.descendants().length()){
        alert("Unable to retrieve links data");
        return;
    }

    links = xml.descendants("stRef:filePath");
    n  = links.length();
    
    while ( n-- ) {
        arr[arr.length] = decodeURI(String(links));
    }

    return arr;
}

main();
