Install Action

[tssee]

I created a script that installs Action

if stock exists must leave everything unchanged

otherwise you must install it.

explain what you mean when you write "if stock exists"...

Action are loaded via *.ATN file action set. So the can contain one or more actions.   Also different action sets can contain action with the same names as other action sets have.  These could be the same of different action.  You cal load an action set with the same name as a loaded action set. The set could contain the same actions, different actions od different version of some actions.

I think you would need to deal with the from an Action Set standpoint.  Have some way to determine it the set loaded is the current version. 

Also users can edit Actions add action to an action set and delete actions in an loaded action set.  If an action does not exist on a machine for some user and you load a set there may now be multiple sets loaded with that name. If you delete the set first you may delete actions the users has added.  The user may have deleted the missing action for the did not want to use it use it their work-flow.  If you are trying to write the script for a community of users you may not be able to develop the perfect script.  If it is just for your own use you control your work-flow.

the problem and this

Room button if I click on the install action and this action and existing script adds another action

I would like it if the set action, and this must not add the set of the same name

Not sure if it is exactly what you have in mind, but here is some code which might be useful:

// Adapted from: jamUtils.loadActionSet
// <http://blog.tonton-pixel.com/json-photoshop-scripting/json-action-manager/>
// <http://blog.tonton-pixel.com/JSON%20Action%20Manager/jsDoc/symbols/jamUtils.html>
//
// Load an action set if not currently available.
// actionSet: action set name string
// actionsFilePath: actions file path string
//
function loadActionSet (actionSet, actionsFilePath)
{
    try
    {
        var ref = new ActionReference ();
        ref.putName (app.stringIDToTypeID ("actionSet"), actionSet);
        app.executeActionGet (ref);
        var found = true;
    }
    catch (e)
    {
        var found = false;
    }
    if (!found)
    {
        var desc = new ActionDescriptor ();
        desc.putPath (app.stringIDToTypeID ("target"), new File (actionsFilePath));
        app.executeAction (app.stringIDToTypeID ("open"), desc);
    }
};
//
// Example:
Folder.current = new Folder ("~/JSON Action Manager/tests/resources/");
loadActionSet ("Cross Processing", "Cross Processing.atn");
//

I'm sorry but it is not what I need.

I need a script that controls the action

if this action and nothing happens

if not present must install a personnel action

Amend actionSetName to suit.

#target photoshop;
var as = getActionSets();
var aSet = File(Folder.desktop + "/actionSetName.atn");
var Loaded = false;
for (var a in as){
    if(as.match(/actionSetName/i)){
    Loaded = true;
        break;
    }
}
if(!Loaded)  app.load(aSet);
function getActionSets(){
var aSets=[];
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putIndex(charIDToTypeID('ASet'), 1);
var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
var Count = desc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("count")) + 1;
for(var t=1; t<=Count; t++){
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putIndex(charIDToTypeID('ASet'), t);
var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
var actName = desc.getString(charIDToTypeID('Nm  '));
aSets.push(actName);
}
return aSets;
};

Your script and the one I use

if you run it the first time is fine charging action

if you run it again charging action and find myself with more copies of the same action

I would like it if this action and should not be loaded

if not present and the charge.

I know my English and poor but I can not do better.

[SuperMerlin]

Have you have changed line 2 and line 6 for actionSetName to your actionSet name?

If your actionSet name is found it will not load the actionset.

[tssee]

I had not changed the name action line 6

it works fine

thank you

[tssee]

The script works perfectly

untima a question

I would put the script into the folder where this action

I tried to change this string but does not work

var = aSet File (scriptFolder + "/actions/actionSetName.atn");

where I'm wrong

[SuperMerlin]

var SCRIPTS_FOLDER =  decodeURI(app.path + '/' + localize('$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts'));

var = aSet File (SCRIPTS_FOLDER + "/actions/actionSetName.atn");

[tssee]

SuperMerlin

the action and script are in the same folder

This is a picture

I wish that were installed Actions_1.atn

[SuperMerlin]

#target photoshop;
var as = getActionSets();
var aSet = File(whereAmI() + "/Actions_1.atn");
var Loaded = false;
for (var a in as){
    if(as.match(/Actions_1/i)){
    Loaded = true;
        break;
    }
}
if(!Loaded)  app.load(aSet);
function whereAmI(){
    var where
    try {
        app.documents.test();
    }
    catch (err){
        where = File(err.fileName);
    }
    return where.path;
};
function getActionSets(){
var aSets=[];
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putIndex(charIDToTypeID('ASet'), 1);
var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
var Count = desc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("count")) + 1;
for(var t=1; t<=Count; t++){
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putIndex(charIDToTypeID('ASet'), t);
var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
var actName = desc.getString(charIDToTypeID('Nm  '));
aSets.push(actName);
}
return aSets;
};

Thank you

As I wrote if the script is just for your use you can most likely script something that will work for you.  You  can not change the way Photoshop work or how others use Photoshop. Photoshop Actions Palette allows  duplicate actions set names  to be loaded.  Users can Add, Delete and edit Actions in Action sets.  I do not believe a script can examine a action see its steps to make sure it the correct action with the correct steps and and has not been modified.

Personally I do not know why you would want to script something like that for your own use for after all you control you Photoshop environment  and install your add-ons in the first place.  You should know what in the Actions palette.

Please post the script you created so we get some idea of what you have coded.
