It can be condensed more, and is more efficient as there are less processing steps.

here is improved code

have a look over it and compare it to the other one I posted, and maybe yours as well.

it should help you understand a bit more about scripting/programing.

to make this work now, are you just running your script first then running the "ExportDocsAsPNG24.jsx"?

if so, you may find that putting your code at the start of the other script will work fine.

would be worth checking for any conflicting variables and changing any you do find.

Yes, I'm running my script first and after the other.

The problem is that the first script works only if I first open all the files, and than I save manually every one file. After that I can run the second script that ask me a folder where the files are located.

I'd like the approach of the second script so I'd like to insert the first script in the other.

the top script is a bit of a mess.

do you need it to save the files? I dropped that last section of code.

also rearranged it to reduce the amount of code and renamed functions to make it clear what they do.

a quick test makes me think it's working correctly

not sure why you hide all layers only to unhide some again, but left it doing that

I've copied the first script from the forum and modified a bit. It's a bit of a mess because I don't know scripting

Your script works great.

I want to hide all layers because I don't know which layers are active in the documents. If there is another way to say I want only these layers visible it's the same for me.

And there is no need to save the files now that the first script is into the other!

Thank you very much!

Ivan
