Question

Add some lines for the selected layers

Greetings to all

I collected some lines and came up with this code, which is to create a Smart Object for the layer, and then open the Smart Object and save the file based on the dimensions of the document

But I just want a simple modification, which is to perform this procedure on the selected layers (meaning the layers you selected) and the procedure is performed on them

is this possible??

This is the code

var currentDoc = app.activeDocument;
if (app.activeDocument.activeLayer.kind == "LayerKind.SMARTOBJECT") {
    runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('placedLayerEditContents'))
    Save ();
  
} else {
    app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('newPlacedLayer'));
    runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('placedLayerEditContents'));
    Save ();
}

function Save () {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var currentDoc = app.activeDocument;
var docpath = doc.path;
var activeLayer = doc.activeLayer;
var Sizze= Math.round(currentDoc.width)+ "       " + Math.round(currentDoc.height)
var saveFile = File(docpath + "/" + Sizze + ".jpg");
while(saveFile.exists){
    Sizze = ' '+ Sizze ;    
    saveFile = File(docpath + "/" +Sizze + ".jpg")
    };
  saveJPG(saveFile, 10);
function saveJPG(saveFile, jpegQuality) {
  var jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
  jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
  jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
  jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
  jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality;
  activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
};
app.activeDocument.close();
}

I just want to add some lines to perform the action on the selected layers, not just one layer

The first question to ask is – does the script work as intended as it currently is?

I don't believe that it does.

Sorry sir, I don't understand what you mean

I sent you the code after adding my lines
Can you try the code to show you the problem

I don't have a permalink

I combine lines of different codes and make code that fits what I need in my work

That makes no sense to me when you previously wrote:

"Then I found a script that performs the action on the specified layers and does what is required better"

What I am asking is where you "found a script" so that others may also benefit. I didn't suggest this before as the question was how to do this purely in script, not recording a script into an action, then running the action from a script.

thank you sir
But I find it difficult to understand these codes, and when I put my code with this article, it did not work, and this problem appeared with me

I also tried the second code, but it only works on one layer, with a message showing that there is a problem with the layers

I don't know where the problem is

if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    myDocument.suspendHistory("Undo script...", "main(myDocument)");
}

function main() {
    var theLayers = getSelectedLayersIdx();
    for (var p = 0; p < theLayers.length; p++) {
        selectLayerByIndex(theLayers[p], false);

        // Your code here
        if (activeDocument.activeLayer.kind == "LayerKind.SMARTOBJECT") {
    runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('placedLayerEditContents'))
  
} else {
    app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('newPlacedLayer'));
    runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('placedLayerEditContents'));

}
       }
}


///// Functions /////

function selectLayerByIndex(index, add) {
    add = undefined ? add = false : add
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putIndex(charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), index);
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc.putReference(charIDToTypeID("null"), ref);
    if (add) desc.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("selectionModifier"), stringIDToTypeID("selectionModifierType"), stringIDToTypeID("addToSelection"));
    desc.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID("MkVs"), false);
    try {
        executeAction(charIDToTypeID("slct"), desc, DialogModes.NO);
    } catch (e) {
        alert(e.message);
    }
}

        desc = desc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('targetLayers'));
        var c = desc.count
        var selectedLayers = new Array();

            selectedLayers.push(executeActionGet(ref).getInteger(charIDToTypeID("ItmI")) - 1);
