Am I right in thinking there's no way of finding out the current brush tip name with scripting? Apart from manually looking at the Preset Manager in text only mode. I thought it would be quite easy to reiterate though the current brushes and export out their names; but it's proving to be easier to do it by hand.
This will get the current names...
#target photoshop
var Presets = getPresetList();
var f = new File(Folder.desktop + "/Brush Tip Names.txt");
f.open('w');
for(var v in Presets){
f.writeln(Presets);
}
f.close();
f.execute();function getPresetList(){
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
var appDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
var List = appDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('presetManager'));
var presetNames=[];
var list = List.getObjectValue(0).getList(charIDToTypeID('Nm '));
for (var i = 0; i < list.count; i++) {
var str = list.getString(i);
presetNames.push(str);
}
return presetNames;
}
