Changing a script to save as PSB rather then PSD

[WillPearson]

Hi All

I've got a script that works exactly how I want it but it's saving as PSD and my files are too big. Does anyone know how to make it save as PSB?

Thanks loads for any assistance!

Can you not just record that part with scriptlistener plug-in…?

[WillPearson]

In all honesty I had no idea such a thing existed.! I'll do a search and have a go.  Thanks Mark

Your placeScaleFile function is a scriptlistener recording… I guess someone else provided this snippet then…

function saveAsPSB( filePath ) {
  function cTID(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
  //function sTID(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };

  var desc7 = new ActionDescriptor();
  var desc8 = new ActionDescriptor();
  desc7.putObject( cTID('As  '), cTID('Pht8'), desc8 );
  desc7.putPath( cTID('In  '), new File( filePath ) );
  desc7.putBoolean( cTID('LwCs'), true );
  executeAction( cTID('save'), desc7, DialogModes.NO );
};

Hi Will,
Did you find a solution to this?
I managed to save it as a tiff, but no luck saving to PSB.
