I have a number of photoshop actions that i would like to convert to jsx.

What is the simplest way to do this, ?

I recall an atn to jsx conversation tool? a few years back but is there a simple way now.?

Thanks

Stephen's answer is the correct one—I'd also like to point out that you can use Alchemist by Jaroslav Bereza. People use Alchemist a ton, but few know it's actually a suite of helper plugins: Alchemist, Sorcerer and Occultist (I know...  Eastern-European humour 😁)

Occultist implements a custom ATN parser:

It's rather handy and super-quick.
Anyway, probably the Czech Republic has to be considered part of Central Europe—Wikipedia says both definitions are acceptable. I'll ask Jarda.

For ExtendScript .JSX you still need to use a script from xbytor:

For UXP .PSJS one can convert to batchPlay code as a built-in feature when enabled in prefs.

 

It's one or the other, the two can't be mixed.

@Ciccillotto Thanks, it seems my role is to play devils advocate on this topic. Something with lots of documentation and examples in ExtendScript but next to nothing useful in UXP.


I agree with you little documentation and what little there is must be updated with each new photoshop update. Adobe with UXP got us into quite a messa.
