Auto script to export groups and layer names

[default6i91oft9unnw]

Hey Guys,

I searched for an answer but couldn't find what i'm looking for.  I'm trying to export a large psd, and i'm kind of tired of writing individual files names out.

I'm looking for script that will export layers according to the layers and group names.  

So if i export this the files names will look like

group1_index_red_c.png

group1_index_red_b.png

group1_index_red_a.png

group1_index_green_a.png

group1_index_green_b.png

group2_index_purple_a.png

group2_index_green_a.png

group2_index_green_b.png

something like this.

as a bonus it would be nice to export only visible and/or selected layers too.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I suspect Scripts along those lines may be available, what have you found so far? 

How familiar are you with JavaScript in general and Photoshop AM-code in particular?

As of now I found this one

Photoshop-Export-Layers-to-Files-Fast

Does what i kind of need but doesn't have the folders to file name option.  But i like how it saves indiviual layers to it's layer name.  and has the option to only save visible layers only.

Then i found this script which does partially what i need too

Automate file naming according to Group name in Photoshop

but i saves only the group name as a file and merges all the layer in that group as a single file.  Which i don't need.  It also can't do a multi-group files.  So it can't do multi folder "group1/index/"  as group1_index_a.png

In the meantime i'll keep searching.  I can't script a little but never did javascript so it might take a while.

Thanks

I downloaded the script from GitHub, but still feel a bit unclear on how to set it up with the directions they provided. Could you help me? Thanks!

Make these changes in the standard "Export Layers To Files.jsx". Shown in red.

The file is taken from CS6.

This works thanks!

It is a bit slow since it cycles through every layer and folder per image, in a 70+ group psd.  But i'll take it!

Thanks!

Do you have any tips for this on Mac? I'm on the latest version of Adobe PS CC 2022. Thanks!
