How may I hide work layers which are deleted at job end from showing in the layer panel?   I have used atn2jsx to make a script and find that the user becomes worried about all of layer stuff showing.

put this code at the beginning and the end of your script, it will hide the layers palette

cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };    
var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref1 = new ActionReference();
ref1.putEnumerated(cTID('Mn  '), cTID('MnIt'), cTID('Tgly'));
desc1.putReference(cTID('null'), ref1);
executeAction(cTID('slct'), desc1, DialogModes.NO);

    Bam bam bam says the Chef.

    Exactly what I wanted.

    For others info:   app.activeDocument.suspendHistory( scriptComment, main function name);  this will hide the History forever.  scriptComment will show as only history entry  and   main function name is the name of the main function.

    Thanks for many who have looked for your solution.

      If this does what I think it does, then I have been looking for this!  Just to clarify,... I have a script that can require up to 10 steps to complete in the History palette; am I to understand that this script will hide all 10 steps, leaving a single History step labeled with the script name?
