Could You Select All Layers Sequentially

Melden · Jan 06, 2021

I Wish Select All Layer One By One Sequentially. Like 1,2,3,4 so on.

Thanks in Advance

In your script, right after the line

var ids = getLayersIDs (); // getting ids of selected layers

paste this code:

ids.sort(cmp);
function cmp(a, b)
    {
    try {
        var r = new ActionReference();
        r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));
        r.putIdentifier(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), a);
        var b1 = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));

        var l1 = b1.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("left"));

        var r = new ActionReference();
        r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));
        r.putIdentifier(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), b);
        var b2 = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));

        var l2 = b2.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("left"));

        return l1 > l2;
        }
    catch (e) { throw(e); }
    }

This is right ,Please check it

var ids = getLayersIDs (); // getting ids of selected layers

ids.sort(cmp);
function cmp(a, b)
{
try {
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));
r.putIdentifier(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), a);
var b1 = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));

var l1 = b1.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("left"));

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));
r.putIdentifier(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), b);
var b2 = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));

var l2 = b2.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("left"));

return l1 > l2;
}
catch (e) { throw(e); }
}

function getLayersIDs()
{
var lyrs = [];
var lyr;
var ref = new ActionReference();
var desc;
var tempIndex;
var ref2;

ref.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("targetLayers"));
ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID('Dcmn'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt'));

lyrs.push(desc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("layerID")));
}

return lyrs;
};

Please Add The Rename Each Layer From Left to right like layer1,layer2,layer3 etc

Melden · May 04, 2021

var newName = "Layer";
var ids = getLayersIDs(); // getting ids of selected layers

ids.sort(cmp);
function cmp(a, b)
    {
    try {
        var r = new ActionReference();
        r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));
        r.putIdentifier(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), a);
        var b1 = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));

        var l1 = b1.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("left"));

        var r = new ActionReference();
        r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));
        r.putIdentifier(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), b);
        var b2 = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("bounds"));

        var l2 = b2.getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("left"));

        return l1 - l2;
        }
    catch (e) { throw(e); }
    }


//for each id in the list
for (var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++)
{
// select the layer first (well, artboard in this case)
selectById(ids[i]);

//rename it to "my name 1", "my name 2", etc
activeDocument.activeLayer.name = newName + " " + (i + 1);
}

// this will get IDs of selected layers/groups/artboards
function getLayersIDs()
{
var lyrs = [];
var lyr;
var ref = new ActionReference();
var desc;
var tempIndex;
var ref2;

ref.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("targetLayers"));
ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID('Dcmn'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt'));

var targetLayers = executeActionGet(ref).getList(stringIDToTypeID("targetLayers"));
for (var i = 0; i < targetLayers.count; i++)
{
tempIndex = 0;
ref2 = new ActionReference();
try
{
activeDocument.backgroundLayer;
ref2.putIndex(charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), targetLayers.getReference(i).getIndex());
try
{
desc = executeActionGet(ref2);
tempIndex = desc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("itemIndex")) - 1;
}
catch (e)
{
tempIndex = 0;
}
}
catch (o)
{
ref2.putIndex(charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), targetLayers.getReference(i).getIndex() + 1);
desc = executeActionGet(ref2);
tempIndex = desc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("itemIndex"));
}

lyrs.push(desc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("layerID")));
}

return lyrs;
};

// this will select a layer by ID
function selectById(id)
{
var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref1 = new ActionReference();
ref1.putIdentifier(charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), id);
desc1.putReference(charIDToTypeID('null'), ref1);
executeAction(charIDToTypeID('slct'), desc1, DialogModes.NO);
};

Yes, sort of like that. But your code is not complete as in the first post. It won't work.

There I have a mistake !!!!!!!!!.

Correct

return l1> l2;

to the

return l1 - l2;

Melden · May 04, 2021

Yes, It's perfect working, But one thing I want to this right to left, You have button to top,

Please see the image

Melden · May 04, 2021

Modify the script, Please see the image below

Melden · May 04, 2021

OK

var newName = "Layer";
var ids = getLayersIDs(); // getting ids of selected layers

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("width"));

        t1 = 100-Math.round(doc_h/t1)*100;
        t2 = 100-Math.round(doc_h/t2)*100;

        var x1 = l1 + t1*doc_w;

Yes, Thanku so much But entire left right now, Please see the image below,

Please modify it

Melden · May 04, 2021

Where did you see there from left to right and from top to bottom? I see no logic.

Melden · May 04, 2021

Everyting is ok, but one thing is entire left to right , Please see the image...

Melden · May 04, 2021

I do not understand you. Be clearer.

Melden · May 04, 2021

Yes everything is fine, But I will put on 12x36 page. The script is entire left so I with 12x18 page is good working but 12x36 page is enitre left so

Melden · May 04, 2021

Post the PSD with the problem. I'll see.

And explain what you are doing, which layers you are selecting.

Melden · May 04, 2021

I have put on 12x36 page, The script is entire left Please check it.

1:- Create 12x36 Page

2:- Create 8 Layer

3:- Run the Script

4:- The result is entire left to right.

12x18 Page is good working and 4 layer also good working, Just 8 Layer to entire left to right,

Please see the image below

Melden · May 04, 2021

I have given the the psd below please check it, The psd entire left to right, I wish see image below right

Melden · May 04, 2021

Did you understand that

Melden · May 04, 2021

Did you check it , let me know Did you understand the problem

Melden · May 04, 2021

Hey people.

Does anyone understand what he wants.

Melden · May 04, 2021

I have explain to image, please see the image concentrate.

Melden · May 04, 2021

Thanku so much, I expect you can do it, And I hope you can easily understand after saw the image.

Melden · May 04, 2021

Have seen it 100 times. Explain the logic. Or do you always have only eight layers arranged this way? This is not from left to right, but some kind of сикось-накось (google could not translate : ).

Melden · May 05, 2021

Thanks r-bin I have modify and Now is working perfect. Thanku so much r-bin

Melden · Sep 09, 2021

Hello Eveyone, This script is perfect working, It is select Bottom to Top Layer.

But I want to Select Top to Bottom in Selected Layer in PS Script

Here is script , Please modify the script ?

May 04, 2021

Thanks in Advance

Melden · Sep 09, 2021

Have you tried reversing the order you process layer ID?

//for each id in the list
for (var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++)

someting like:

for (var i = ids.length; i >= 0; i--)
