Hello gang!
I just wanted to share with you my small utility tool for Photoshop called Clean SL that cleans ScriptingListenerJS.log file to make it more readable.
Recently watched Davide_Barranca's Adobe Photoshop HTML Panels Development course and realised how painful it is to work with Action Manager's code and how unreadable it is right off the box. I know there are quite a few other tools that cleans log file, however it doesn't hurt to have an option to choose.
Interested? Grab it here: rendertom / Clean SL / source / — Bitbucket
Script performs multiple actions such as cleaning-up variable names and hoisting them to the top, wraps code block into function, converts charID to string ID for better readability and such. Resulting code is clean and maintains better readability.
Features:
- Load entire ScriptingListenerJS.log content
- Load only last entry in ScriptingListenerJS.log
- Enter ScriptingListenerJS code manually
Options:
- Hoist variable declaration to the top
- Consolidate variables
- Give descriptive variable names
- Convert charID to stringID for better readability
- Replace stringIDToTypeID() to s2t() function
- Wrap to function block.
Example:
From this:
var idHStr = charIDToTypeID( "HStr" );
var desc21 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idpresetKind = stringIDToTypeID( "presetKind" );
var idpresetKindType = stringIDToTypeID( "presetKindType" );
var idpresetKindCustom = stringIDToTypeID( "presetKindCustom" );
desc21.putEnumerated( idpresetKind, idpresetKindType, idpresetKindCustom );
var idClrz = charIDToTypeID( "Clrz" );
desc21.putBoolean( idClrz, false );
var idAdjs = charIDToTypeID( "Adjs" );
var list1 = new ActionList();
var desc22 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idH = charIDToTypeID( "H " );
desc22.putInteger( idH, 39 );
var idStrt = charIDToTypeID( "Strt" );
desc22.putInteger( idStrt, 23 );
var idLght = charIDToTypeID( "Lght" );
desc22.putInteger( idLght, -27 );
var idHsttwo = charIDToTypeID( "Hst2" );
list1.putObject( idHsttwo, desc22 );
desc21.putList( idAdjs, list1 );
executeAction( idHStr, desc21, DialogModes.NO );
to this:
hueSaturation();
function hueSaturation() {
var s2t = function (s) {
return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};
var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
var list = new ActionList();
var descriptor2 = new ActionDescriptor();
descriptor.putEnumerated( s2t( "presetKind" ), s2t( "presetKindType" ), s2t( "presetKindCustom" ));
descriptor.putBoolean( s2t( "colorize" ), false );
descriptor2.putInteger( s2t( "hue" ), 39 );
descriptor2.putInteger( s2t( "saturation" ), 23 );
descriptor2.putInteger( s2t( "lightness" ), -27 );
list.putObject( s2t( "hueSatAdjustmentV2" ), descriptor2 );
descriptor.putList( s2t( "adjustment" ), list );
executeAction( s2t( "hueSaturation" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );
}
Installation
Clone or download repository and place Clean SJ.jsx script to Photoshop’s Scripts folder:
Adobe Photoshop CC 20XX -> Presets -> Scripts -> Clean JS.jsx
Restart Photoshop to access Clean JS script from File -> Scripts
------------------------------------------------
Since I am rather new to Photoshop Scripting, I might have missed something of my code brakes. So if you find any bugs or issues, please do not hesitate to let me know so I could fix it.
So, happy cleaning everybody!

A simple event_listener script. Version 0.0.
Assign a notifier to the "Everything" event for this script.
In the file "~ / EventListener.log" you get the analog of ScriptingListenerJS.log.
The plugin ScriptListener.8li is not needed.
Works with Puppet Warp

Great script but I have problem to run it. I tried by 2 ways. First I put it to StartupScripts / Photoshop folder and reopened Photoshop. As it didn't work I tried the same by putting it to Presets / Scripts / Event Scripts Only. It didn't work as well. In both cases it was added to File / Scripts / Scripts Manager (in case of second one by me manually). / 'Evertything' was set.
I don't know maybe it's because now I'm in work at CS6 polish version / I tried on english CC2018 and it doesn't work too.
Edit: I changed ~/EventListener.log to ~/Desktop/EventListener.log and it works 
Where that has been saving before?
I kept the log on the desktop. The path can be checked as follows: alert (file.fsName).
It probably worked because I moved the desktop through the registry to another disk.
In general, the path "~/Desktop/EventListener.log" is more correct.
The script can be located anywhere, but not in the Startup Scripts folder.
Still need to remove the unnecessary function next_dsc(), next_lst() and next_ref() and replace _alert() with alert().
In plans, design each event as a separate function and track duplicates of stringIDToTypeID such as paint, good, grain, etc.
Amazing work - probably that will be best and fastest of all six (Script)EventListener converters there are available now!
Please, could you create separate topic for your script. I think this topic shouldn't be anymore continued with a staff that's not strictly refered to Tomas Sinkunas Clean SL. Users may want to give you some advices for next versions, however you are so experienced and have view at other 'cleaners' functionalities that your vision should be already more than clear
I tried the script but it gives me this error
with photoshop cc2014 and cc2018
