Move layer group script

[jim_blandford]

Found this script to do what I want but cannot get it to work with Photoshop CC 2014 on OSX 10.9.4.

// tell extendscript toolkit which adobe application to target;
#target photoshop
// determine the document on which to work;
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
// define which open document to get the layergroup from;
// one could also open a document from a specific position on the harddrive. 
var theLayerSetDoc = app.documents.getByName(“Watermark1600.psd”);
// switch photoshop’s focus to the group-document to be able to work with it;
app.activeDocument = theLayerSetDoc;
// define the group, actually one could avoid the variable and just process it directly;
var theSet = theLayerSetDoc.layerSets.getByName(“Watermark”);
// do the duplication;
theSet.duplicate(myDoc,ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);

Keep getting

Error 8: Syntax error.

Line: 7

->  var theLayerSetDoc = app.documents.getByName(“Watermark1600.psd”);

Document name matches perfectly.

Had this working under PS CC version before 2014, but remembered I had to make a very subtle change to get a script originally for CS to work for CC? Cannot remember what it was!

Help much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Just to make sure: That file is open?

Could you provide a screenshot in non-tabbed view?

[jim_blandford]

c.pfaffenbichler yes file is open.

Hope this is what you mean by a screenshot in non-tabbed view.

(Edit: Replaced with better screenshot)

What does

alert (app.documents.getByName("Watermark1600.psd"))

get you?

[jim_blandford]

Thank you for your replies.

The code you suggested gives Error 4: Unterminated string constant.

I tried removing inverted commas previously, but get Error 2: Watermark1600 is undefined.

Not sure whether it makes any difference but I created the script in Text Edit and saved as a .jsx, and script is located in Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/Presets/Scripts

Don’t remove them, replace them with the proper ones in ESTK.

I know this is late after the thread, but for those who come across this - use ' instead of " in the getbyname brackets.

It does not matter if you use a single quote or double quote, but you must use the same quote at both ends.

[CookieWookiee]

Double quotes didn't work for me (CC2014). Not sure if its different in other versions.

[I have gone]

The code you posted at the start shows that the quotes are not the same, this is normal if you have copied code from the pdf's, it is a common error with the documentation. I don't have CC so can't tell if anything has changed.

Wasn't me Phil, but thanks.
Right you are

Could the inverted commas be the problem?
