Convert ScriptingListenerJS.log to Python functions

tested: Adobe Photoshop Version: 23.3.2

os: win

Photoshop action descriptors are a bit tricky to write in python with intuition alone. I wrote a helper script that converts js action descriptor code, found in the ScriptingListenerJS.log file on your Desktop, into python functions you could further explore, edit, customize and include in your own python code. It's very useful to me and it might be useful to someone else  .

ID keys have also been converted from charIDs to the more human-readable stringIDs making it more obvious what the action descriptor is doing.

What would be the advantages of using the python language on photoshop?

[LG ludwig]

For me personally it's a way to still be able to create custom Photoshop tools and solutions programmatically without knowing much about Javascript/ UXP and also a big plus for me is being able to easily tab into Photoshop's action descriptors with Python. I'm also using Python in other applications like SideFX Houdini and Adobe Susbtance apps.

I can't say if there are advantages, because I have nothing to compare it to. I only know two programming languages I can still put to good use.
