I have to do the same manual process everytime and I wanna know if there's a way to make it automatic to release me from my suffering!
I have a text layer and I wanna make a shape layer have the same dimensions and position in the canvas, normally I do this by manually resizing and positioning the Shape layer, but I realized if press Ctrl + T, I have access to the size of the layer and it's position in the canvas, if I manually copy and paste these values from the Text Layer to the Shape Layer it does what I need, but I waste time doing that, so I wanna know if there's a way to do it automatically, a hidden feature or a script.
The text is always different, so I can't just use the same values everytime. See the images for an example.
I will likely modify/update the following two scripts, however for now I hope that they serve.
EDIT – 7th August 2022, Scripts updated to 1.3 version:

Yeah, "I hate" dialog alerts.
I wish they would add two things to actions...
- Beep
- Reminder, i.e., a temporary taskbar text balloon reminding you of options and intentions. (I kinda succeeded in doing that by having a helper app automatically close the Alert dialogs and instead put that text in a taskbar balloon, but it's really "too messy" to use).

My general thought process is;
If the script is short, a beep may be helpful.
If the script is longer, say a batch process, then an alert is more useful as the operator may have left the computer or app.
