How do I automatically create a shape frame around an image?

I do a process where I place rectangular shapes around certain images, these images are always four-sided, usually squares or rectangles, but they are always different, so I keep having to make a new frame around it every time.

The reason why I can't just have the frame made beforehand and just resize it to the new image is because I need the frame to maintain its original ratio, that being, its height in the horizontal parts and its width in the vertical part, the frame needs to keep the same border size and resizing would change that.
My document has a folder containing the separate rectangular shapes that I use to make new shapes each time.

The lenght of the frame should be a full white 43px rectangular. And later when I merge all the rectangles to form the full frame and I also add a black shape stroke of 10px. This stroke is the one found in the shape menu instead of the layer style stroke as they produce different results.

I'm wondering if it's possible to create a script that does the following:
> Create four 43px sized white shape squares.
> Resposition them to be on the 4 borders of the layer that was selected beforehand.

> Resize all of them to have the respective same size as the borders of the original layer they are supposed to be on.

> Merge them all together in one single shape.

> Add a black shape stroke of 10px. (Not to be confused with the Layer Style Stroke)
>Finish with the Frame above the image on the Layers visibility Panel.

      The script is working really well, it does exactly what I had envisioned. Upon a few tests I noticed that the end result is a frame with a length of 36px, my frames always end up with a length of 53px, considering the stroke. I tried taking a look at the code to see if it was easy to control the end result of the frame and couldn't find any easy way to control it.

      Is it possible to make the final length 53px instead of 36 and furthermore, is it possible to make a way to control this end result in case there's ever a necessity to change it? An easy to modify variable of both the white part and the black outline? Aside from that the code is pretty much what I wanted.

      If you're happy, I'm happy! :]

       

      I'm not getting the same results with the updated stroke thickness values compared to your last layered sample image "All Operations.psd".

       

      I'm now looking at breaking the strokes into 3, rather than 2.

       

      This could also be due to the stroke alignment outer/centre/inner which I haven't explicitly set in the script and could be different on your system than mine which is set to align to centre of the rectangle path.


      Upon more testing I noticed one potential problem, on the final part of the script it moves the folder containing the frame and the image to the top of the layer channels I'm not sure if this was a result of the last thing I requested, but in case it is, I meant the frame should be above the image and this happens naturally. I do like that it gets sorted in a folder, but is it possible for this folder to continue in the same place the original image was. Basically my document has many layers so having to move it back is a bit annoying

        You should be able to do this via an action. Is this for single image/layer files? Is the layer bounds always smaller than the canvas size? Or will the layer/image sometimes be the same size as the canvas and flattened?

         

        To be crystal clear, please upload before and after layered PSD files.

        > Is this for single image/layer files?
        The file should have multiple layers, but the frame should added to one layer per time, I may do it more than one time per file though, not sure if it's an issue.

        > Is the layer bounds always smaller than the canvas size?
        Yes, always smaller than the canvas.

        Can an action resize shapes to different sizes each time? I'm sending an example, but the problem is that the rectangle should be different every time, could even be a square. If an action can do that it's perfect for me. If so I may need to learn how to set up such an action to resize the image like that.

        I'm sending one file with all the operations I described on my first comment with one blank layer describing what's being done.

        While you were replying I was working on a proposal. Please review the attached, which would likely require scripting and not an action. It isn't pixel-perfect, but I feel it is close enough and hopefully suitable for scripting.
