Help with a script to automate a task!

[mauricior6328708]

Hello, everyone!

I have a script here and need to modify it to work as follows:

1- (Process 1) Open a document to start a task.

2- (Process 2) If the document is already open, I do not need to open it again to repeat the task!

I just need to skip the (Process 1) if the document is already open!

Maybe this seems a very silly thing, but fundamental to my tasks. Thank you!

Here is my script:

#target photoshop
cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
sTID = function(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };
function Open() {
 // Process 1
  function step1(enabled, withDialog) {
    if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)
      return;
    var dialogMode = (withDialog ? DialogModes.ALL : DialogModes.NO);
    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc1.putInteger(cTID('DocI'), 4205);
    executeAction(cTID('Opn '), desc1, dialogMode);
 };
  // Process 2
  function step2(enabled, withDialog) {
    if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)
     return;
   alert('Here starts the Task!')
  };
  step1(true, true); // Open
  step2();// Start
};
Open.main = function () {
  Open();
};
Open.main();

You can check all opened documents.

var documents = app.documents;

for(var i = 0;i<documents.length;i++){

    try{

     alert(documents.fullName);

    }

    catch (e){

        alert(e);

    }

}

And do something if document paths are same.

Hi Jarda Bereza Thanks for the attention! I understood here how to run your script. Not quite what I need. Maybe you did not understand the question.

It would have to be something like this:

If the document has already been opened: Run the script from "Process 2" (Line 19)

Else the document was not open: Run the script from "Process 1" (Line 08)

I think it's better to understand!

Thank you.

Like this?

#target photoshop  
cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };  
sTID = function(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };  
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    step2();
    }
    else {step1(); 
        step2();}
 // Process 1  
  function step1(enabled, withDialog) {  
    if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)  
      return;  
    var dialogMode = (withDialog ? DialogModes.ALL : DialogModes.NO);  
    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();  
    desc1.putInteger(cTID('DocI'), 4205);  
    executeAction(cTID('Opn '), desc1, dialogMode);  
 };  
  // Process 2 
  function step2(enabled, withDialog) {  
    if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)  
     return;  
   alert('Here starts the Task!')  
  };

That's right, perfect!

Now I can understand how this process is done greenrookie. Thanks for the help brother!
