Execute script from filter menu

[rechmbrs]

I have a couple of scripts that show in the Filter menu for execution and would like a hint where to start looking to do the same with my scripts.  I think there is an xml file involved.  Can I make them show in the same folder as my personally coded plugins?  That would be nice as they are related in usage.  For Win 10 now but probably move to MAC as well sometime in the future.

JJ,

Thanks a lot.  This will be very helpful once I get a couple more questions answered.

Once inserted into the script, where is the script file stored?  Scripts or plugins folders for Photoshop to find?  Should <Name> contain anything special?  Like a filename with .8bf extension??  Is this part of a PIPL? 

Anything else so we don't have to bug again?

I appreciate your help in finding these hidden gems.

Scripts the are listen in Photoshop menu list as items need to be stored in each Photoshop Version Scripts paths.   I store all my scripts in my own Photoshop Scripts tree on my system.  I add a link into each version of Photoshop I have install Scripts folder to link each  Photoshop version Scripts folder to my scripts tree.  All Photoshop versions I have installed use the same scripts file that are mine.  I just maintain my own script tree.   Link Photoshop versions to it.

JJ,

Thanks.

So the final words are to put the updated jsx/jsxbin or a short cut from it in your Photoshop script folder (  C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\Presets\Scripts\  ).  When looking for it in the Filter menu, the script will be at the very bottom of the list.

The link shortcut is to my Scripts tree not to any particular script. When Photoshop exe initializes Photoshop will scan all the scripts in my tree  and their scripts names will be added into the  menu   identified in their header grouped by category.  Scripts without here information will be listed in the bottom group in menu File>Scripts>Script names.
