Automate multiple Measurment log exports

Hello Community,

I need your brain power!

I am aiming to export the measurment log from an action that I have created for +100 photos, the action works great!

BUT, I either have to stop and individually name each exported Measurment Log (.txt file) or the automation will overwrite the excel sheet only providing the last images' measurments from the log..

I have added the menu item 'export measurements' to my action but this method forces me to name each text file as the batch process is running.

I want the text file (measurement log results) to have the same name as the photo that it took measurments from for each photo I batch.

Words from the wise?

Thank you,

Brooke

Okay, try this. It might need some tweaking for what you're doing.

Couple things with your code. The #target photoshop should be at the top of the script, but you can probably just remove it.

You have one file hard coded to open, so only that file will work. Do you want the script to open files? If so, you can remove the section of code that you have and either create an action that will run the script, which you can then use batch processes script to run that action and open all the files. Or you can specify a folder, where the files are, the use a loop statement to open each of them. I'm not near my computer, and on my phone, so writing some sample code is difficult. But something like this:

var srcFolder = new Folder('folder path');

var searchMask = '*.psd';

//exchange pad for whatever file type you're opening, or use ???

var fileList = srcFolder.getFiles(searchMask);

for(var i =0;i <fileList.length;i++){

var doc = fileList[i].open();

//enter your code here

//you might need a statement to close the original file:

doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

};

I am getting really close to having a fuctional script! I haven't really done much coding with Photoshop, so your support has been awesome!

I want to have the script open all the files in the folder, execute the action for each, save the measurement log as a text file, clear the log and move on to the next folder. I am having some issues with the folder opening and loop statement, I kind of butchered it.. I would appreciate your expertise on the script, below is what I have;

var doc = fileList[i].open(); {

You have to make sure the action points to the script, and that everything is named and in the same place on both machines. That's why I don't use actions much.

Understandably so! I have attached the script that works for one images but I am not sure how to write the code to have it open a set folder and complete the action for each JPG in the folder.

function open(dontRecord, forceNotify, null2) {

};

var s2t = function (s) {
return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};

var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();

descriptor.putBoolean( s2t( "dontRecord" ), dontRecord );
descriptor.putBoolean( s2t( "forceNotify" ), forceNotify );
descriptor.putPath( c2t( "null" ), null2 );
descriptor.putInteger( s2t( "documentID" ), 201 );
executeAction( s2t( "open" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );
}

Look for what each section of the code does in the first couple lines. Usually it's pretty clear to see the sections that you recorded.

Thank you so much for your help today! I was able to clean up the code using Developed by CLEAN-SL Tomas Šinkūnas www.rendertom.com! I embedded the script into an action and when I try to send it to a different computer that script isn't staying connected to the action set. Any advice?

scriptListener creates a lot of garbage. Get rid of all the modal, state change, etc. Just look for the command for what you a actually recorded.

Just saw that you're using VB code. Here is some code, but it's javascript. Maybe it will give you an idea on how to convert it to VB.

#target photoshop
var doc = activeDocument;

var saveFolder = new Folder('~/desktop/Photoshop Measurement Log/')
if(!saveFolder.exists){saveFolder.create()};

var docName = doc.name.split('.')[0];

saveLog ();

function saveLog(){
    var idexportMeasurements = stringIDToTypeID( "exportMeasurements" );
        var desc11 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idFile = charIDToTypeID( "File" );
        desc11.putPath( idFile, new File( saveFolder +'/'+docName + '.txt') );
    executeAction( idexportMeasurements, desc11, DialogModes.NO );    
    }

That is helpful but for some reason the Scriptlistener log that I have not edited yet is giving me 8800 error when I try to run the script in photoshop. Photoshop is saying that this command is not available on this version. It's weird because it should be the record of what I just did in photoshop?

It all depends on your workflow. How are you saving the logs currently? Are you making a bunch of measurements then saving all the recodings, or are you making them at separate times then saving them. It doesn't look like you can loop through an existing log, and select each recording. So I'm assuming that you will need to run the script, save the file, then later run the script again, but not have it overwrite then second or other times you run the script.

Hello,

Thanks for your interest in helping!

The action I created works as follows;

1. Select subject

2. Image>Crop

3. Set Measurement scale

4. Select> Color Range

5. Record Measurements

6. Export Measurements (this is the step that is giving me a hard time)

7. Delete Measurement log

From this action I want to run a batch of photos to record the area of selected objects per inputted image, but I keep having to type in the exported measurement file name for each images processed (if I set the 'export measurements' step as a Menu Item). If I record the action without setting 'export measurements' as a menu item the same exported measurement file is being overwritten by the processed images.

I want to change the end of the code to save exported measurement with the same name as the inputted image but it would be a text file.

This is the full script so far - I think I just need to change the orange text section..

You most likely will have to do this with scripting. The scriptListener plugin should be able to record what you have in the action, then you just have to create some code to save the text file.

Thank you! I went ahead and used the ScriptListener plugin. Any advice for the code that could be used for saving text under the same name as input name?
