Export As Script 2023

[Art22062909r179]

Hello, 
I've been looking for Action to get to Export As dialog box quickly by just a press of a button instead of its native shortcut. Found this script online but it doesnt work with the PS 24.7.1 on a Mac.

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("exportDocumentAsDialog"));

Please help!

Thank you

AFAIK this isn't possible.

Export As (even in the most simple form as a menu item) isn't available to actions or scripts.

Sigh...

Create your action, Insert menu command, and select Export->Export As. It will show up as "Select <unknown> menu item" but will run in the action just fine. Just tested on PS 25.3.1 Mac.

The last time I looked at this it didn't work, it would come up with an error about an unknown menu command... But it does work now, so Adobe must have made an update somewhere along the line!

And it now also works in ExtendScript!

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("exportDocumentAsDialog"));

await require("photoshop").core.performMenuCommand({commandID: 3443})

Caveats:

- Win command mappings may be different (I'm on a Mac, can't test a PC env)

- Works only if you're scripting in UXP (not ExtendScript/CEP)

You can change the keyboard shortcut to a single key like one of the F keys

using Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts>Application Menus>File

Even better.
