JavaScript, why methods .selectEllipse(), .selectColumn(), .selectPolygon() and etc don't work?
This question is a duplicate of my question on stackoverflow, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78704383/photoshop-javascript-why-docref-selection-selectellipse-selectcolumn
I automate Photoshop using JavaScript, so here is my code:
var originalRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits
originalRulerUnits = Units.PIXELS
displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO
var fileRef = new File( "C:\\Users\\...\\Desktop\\...\\...\\test.png" );
app.open( fileRef );
var docRef = app.activeDocument;So this code works fine, but next when I'm trying
docRef.selection.selectEllipse(
{top: 50, left: 70, bottom: 140, right: 100},
SelectionType.EXTEND
);or
docRef.selection.selectColumn(90);with or without await keyword, or
docRef.selection.selectEllipse({top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 100, right: 100});and etc., nothing happens?
I've found these methods in Adobe documentation:
https://developer.adobe.com/photoshop/uxp/2022/ps_reference/classes/selection/#selectall but they aren't present in photoshop-javascript-ref-2020.pdf , neither in photoshop-scripting-guide-2020.pdf ( https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/tree/master/Documentation/Product%20specific%20Documentation/Photoshop%20Scripting )
I'm using Photoshop 25.0.0, but those Instruments (-Elliptical Marquee Tool; -Single Column Marquee Tool; -Polygonal Lasso Tool; -Rectangular Marquee Tool) were in Photoshop for many years, and for example methods like .select()
var shapeRef = [ [x2, y2], [width, y2], [width, height], [x2, height] ];
docRef.selection.select(shapeRef, selectionType.EXTEND);or
.selectAll()method works fine.
So what am I doing wrong?
