Hey guys. I found myself in a trouble. Here's a screenshot.
I need to get Group size, however, Levels effect seems to brake it:/
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.boundsNoEffects;
If Groups is selected, it returns 0 px,0 px,500 px,500 px
If LAYER is selected, it returns 125 px,200 px,375 px,300 px
So my question is - is it possible to ignore Levels Size? Because they brake my calculations, and I need to get a result 125 px,200 px,375 px,300 px if Group is selected. Is this somehow doable?

Here is code without Lexicon library. I can't share library because is experimental and not done yet.
It takes 500ms per 1018 layers. And 77ms per 179 layers on my old PC 🙂
JJMack: you are wrong. This is "or" condition. I am skiping clipped layer and/or adjustment. Not clipped adjustment.
...var groupIndex = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.itemIndex;
function calculateGroupSize(index){
var maxBounds = {
left : null,
top : null,
right : null,
bottom

Let me try a different way to explain way I wrote and include some screen captures.
An adjustment layer bounds is the same as the document canvas size unless masked and applies to all lower layer. You constrain an adjustment to fewer layer be segregating it within a layer group and clipping it to a particular layer. You can also constrain the adjustment to a selection via a layer mask. Transparency can change a layer bounds. The layer bounds will be the bounds of pixels in the layer mask.
To me it looks like you only want the levels adjustment layer to apply to the layer named LAYER. There are many ways to do that....
Here is a little script that show the active layer size bounds and position relative to the canvas. I will use it on layer Group see the differences,
// enable double-clicking from Mac Finder or Windows Explorer
#target photoshop // this command only works in Photoshop CS2 and higher
// bring application forward for double-click events
app.bringToFront();
// Save the current preferences
var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
// Set Photoshop to use pixels
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
try{
var LB = activeDocument.activeLayer.bounds;
var LWidth = (LB[2].value) - (LB[0].value);
var LHeight = (LB[3].value) - (LB[1].value);
MarkX((LB[0].value + LWidth/2));
MarkX(LB[0].value);
MarkX(LB[2].value);
MarkY((LB[1].value + LHeight/2));
MarkY(LB[1].value)
MarkY(LB[3].value)
alert("'" + activeDocument.activeLayer.name + "' Layer Bounds\nTop Left " + LB[0].value + "X," + LB[1].value + "Y Bottom Right " + LB[2].value + "X," + LB[3].value
+ "Y\nWidth " + LWidth + "px Height " + LHeight +"px"
+ "\nLayer center relative to canvas " + (LB[0].value + LWidth/2) + "X," + (LB[1].value + LHeight/2) +"Y"
);
}
catch(e){alert("Requires a layer targered");}
// Return the app preferences
app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;
function MarkX(x) {

}
I do not have your script library files so I can not test that code, It look like it skips adjustment layers if clipped. In his layered document it does not look like the levels 1 adjustment layer is clipped its an adjustment layer above layer LAYER in layer group Group.
