local PC path source code??

[K2]

Hi,

I'm trying to find some list of common paths I can use inside my scripts

as far as I get

app.preferencesFolder      --> Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version #]/Adobe Photoshop [version #] Settings

is there any similar way to get ?

Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version #]/Presets/Actions

and

C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version #]/Presets/Actions

Thanks!

[K2]

better this one
as not all users have admin privileges

Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version #]/Presets/Actions

From the manual JavaScript-Tools-Guide-CC.pdf

I think you sould download the manual and read it.  You can also test if what you develop as a files full path  Path\FileName.ext exists

ok, thanks!
finally I decided to create custom folder in userdir

path="~/DDS_save/save_DDS_send.jsx"

decodeURI(path + '/Presets/Actions')

If you are on Windows you can use VBscript to access Regisry to get currenctly assigned Photoshop path.

While that may be correct it dose not mean that is the path of the Photoshop that your script is running in.  I have 5 version of Photoshop installed on my system and I have both the 32Bit and 64bit CS6 version installed. There are 6 Photoshop.exe on my system.  Most Windows registry keys for Photoshop point to the  Current CC 2019 version not all.  The Default Photoshop version is CC 2019 however any of the six Photoshop may be running  and I link all Photoshop  Script Folder to my Scripts Tree.  It is very easy to get the running Photoshop Path as well as the running script path using javascript.

scriptPath= $.fileName.substr(0, $.fileName.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
scriptName = $.fileName.substr($.fileName.lastIndexOf("/") + 1 ,);
alert("Running Photoshop = '" + app.path + "'\nScript Path = '" + scriptPath + "'\nScript File = '" + scriptName + "'");

The solution is of course for last installed Ps version so that someone usually wants to use. VBscript was an example as alternative for Javascript K2@​ said does not want to use to have path in XML file (that can be created by VBscript too).

You could use BridgeTalk on Windows & Mac

$.writeln(BridgeTalk.getTargets("-199").join("\n"));

$.writeln("-------");

$.writeln(app.version);

$.writeln("-------");

$.writeln(BridgeTalk.getSpecifier ("photoshop"));

$.writeln("-------");

$.writeln(BridgeTalk.appVersion);

$.writeln("-------");

$.writeln(BridgeTalk.getAppPath("photoshop"));

$.writeln("-------");

$.writeln(BridgeTalk.getDisplayName("photoshop"));

$.writeln("-------");

$.writeln(BridgeTalk.getTargets( null, "en_GB" ).join("\n"));

$.writeln("-------");

Yes, that's good solution, but it needs Extendscript while in reply No. 3 the author doesn't want it if I understand right?
