Hi I wonder if there is a  simple way to set document "dirty" flag.

The thing is that I am modifing layer XMP info in action script but this change is not reflected by setting the document to modified state

You could do something like this...

activeDocument.info.caption = activeDocument.info.caption + " ";

trouble is,that anytime i use DOM on big documents (>100 layers) it become terribly slow and unusable. Would you know how to do it using action manager?

Another way to set the document dirty would be to create a guide then remove it.


I've actually  found one more way which surprisingly works and seem to be the fastest.

activeDocument.activeLayer.visible=activeDocument.activeLayer.visible

or even quicker

var b:Boolean=activeDocument.activeLayer.visible;

var des:ActionDescriptor = new ActionDescriptor();

var ref:ActionReference = new ActionReference();

var lst:ActionList = new ActionList();

ref.putEnumerated(lyr, ordn, trgt);

lst.putReference(ref);                  

des.putList(nul,lst);

Photoshop.app.executeAction( b?show:hide, des, DialogModes.NO );
