Question
BatchUpdateSmartObjects.jsx - I'm in over my head... help ?
Hi everyone !
I'm ultra new to scripts in Photoshop but I've been trying to do something I apparently can't do without them :
I currently have two folders with images I'm trying to merge. One with 535,000 images in PNG format with a unique title (eg: QR50000000001.png, QR50000000002.png, ...). The other folder has 535,000 images in TIFF format with a matching unique title (eg: banner50000000001.tif, banner50000000002.png, ...).
What I need to do is align the QR files with the Banner files, merge them, and save them with the title of the original QR image.
My "banners" look like this and are 625px / 600px :
(I masked some private info)
My QR images look like this and are 295px / 295px:
(Same, sloppy censoring, sorry)
The final result should look like this.
Having done some research, I've found @JJMack's amazing response to a similar type of question and
have done quite a lot of attempts to try and make it work.
Until now, I've been able to adapt the "Crossroads2500" template to match my final design.
With this design, I've been able to successfully run the script BatchUpdateSmartObjects.jsx using the original files JJMack uploads in his example.

Unfortunately, I've got an issue when I try to replace the example's source files by my own source files.
Even though the proportion of my images seems to match my template, I always receive the following error message :
"Replacemen object counts are not the same "
Reading from the script I suppose it has to do with this part of the script
... but since I don't know much about Java coding, I'm totally lost.
Could anyone help me make this work ?
I would quite literally save my life.
Thanks in advance,
Seb.
