Open an Exported File directly in Photoshop (after exported file created)

[Guest]

var doc = app.activeDocument;
 var destFolder = Folder ("~/Documents");
if (destFolder) {
     var fileName = activeDocument.name;
    var destFile = new File(destFolder + '/' + fileName);    
    var psdExportOptions = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop();
    // Set PSD export options 
    psdExportOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
    psdExportOptions.artboardRange = "1";
    psdExportOptions.antiAliasing = false; 
    psdExportOptions.resolution = 300; 
    psdExportOptions.embedICCProfile = false;
    psdExportOptions.writeLayers = false; 
    psdExportOptions.imageColorSpace = ImageColorSpace.CMYK;
    doc.exportFile (destFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, psdExportOptions);
}

This code I created exports my current Ai document as a PSD with set options. It also names the new file what it is called in Ai.

How can I call the created file and open it directly in Photoshop? Keep in mind I would be working on multiple files, so file names would change every time I ran this Export Script.

I could call a specifically named file and open that, but that's not what I need this script to do. I just need it to open the newly created PSD file. Any help would be greatly apreciated!!!

There are folder properties for some of the generic locations…

Folder.myDocuments

You need the BridgeTalk class to communicate between apps you will find samples here in this forum…

Hi Mark,

BridgeTalk or for simple commands like this, Interapp communication (Cross-DOM)

use photoshop.open(fileObject);

before that you need to build your newly exported file object

.
.
.
     doc.exportFile (destFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, psdExportOptions);
}
var psfile = new File(destFolder + '/' + fileName.split('.')[0] + '-01.psd');
if (psfile.exists) {
     //alert('file exists')
    photoshop.open(psfile);
}    
else
    alert('file does not exist');
