undoing a script

[_Gerald_Singelmann_]

Hello all,

in CS4 I can make the entire script undo in one step by loading the script into a string and starting it with
app.doScript(myScript, undefined, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "undo my script");

Works like a charm.

I never tried this in CS3 but I vaguely remember a discussion insinuating it should be possible there as well. Does my memory deceive me? Or can this be done in CS3?

Thank you
Gerald

Yes -- your memory does deceive you. Although it may be that your memory has merely become fuzzy. There was indeed talk of a feature like this for CS3 but it was withdrawn very late because of complexity issues for which there was insufficient time to do the job right.

This feature did make it into PS/CS3 as Document.suspendHistory. I've never had
the need to use it, though.

Thank you.
It seems a fuzzy memory is something I increasingly should get used to ...

I have heard of "loading a script into a string" but what does this mean? How do you do it?

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but this might be it...

file.open("r");
string = file.read();
file.close();

I'm referring to CS4. How do you load a script into a string in CS4?
