New Artboard From Layers -Can I choose to generate multiple artboards?

[Pretend that I am ACP]

I know that New Artboard From Layers can be one by one.

But I think this is very troublesome

Is there any way to generate all the selected ones at a time?

[Pretend that I am ACP]

It’s too much trouble to generate one by one. Can anyone help me?

[Pretend that I am ACP]

Maybe I have English, it’s not very standard. I’m Google Translator.

I want to finish New Artboard From Layers in an instant.

[Jarda Bereza]

I made a plugin for changing multiple layers in single click in cases where Photoshop can't do it.

Unfortunately, I only have Alipay. Your website does not support Alipay.

[Jarda Bereza]

I am not sure how Alipay works but e.g. on PayPal you have to enter numbers from credit card and PayPal remember it for all payments. On my website you can buy it via PayPal or you can enter number from credit card directly. So if your Alipay account is connected with credit card similar like PayPal then you can just enter the numbers.

[Pretend that I am ACP]

Alipay is the payment method in China

Very good payment method I hope that you can support this website in the future.

I think there will be more Chinese friends who buy your plugin.

[Pretend that I am ACP]

Because it is very troublesome to register PayPal in China.

I usually use Alipay because it is very fast.

I hope that your website will support it in the future.

[Jarda Bereza]

Thanks for feedback 🙂 Maybe I could add my extension to official Adobe Exchange site. They are using FastSpring which supports more payment methods than Gumroad and it also includes Alipay. Anyway it require significant change in my license system so it wouldn't be easy to do.

Try this script

var d = new ActionDescriptor();
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("selectAllLayers"), d, DialogModes.NO);
var id = get_selected_layers_id();
if (id) for (var i = 0; i < id.length; i++) make_artboard(id)
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function make_artboard(id)
    {

        r.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("artboardSection"));
        d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
        var r1 = new ActionReference();
        r1.putIdentifier(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), id);
        d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("from"), r1);
        executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("make"), d, DialogModes.NO);

        var list = executeActionGet(r).getList(stringIDToTypeID("targetLayersIDs"));
        if (!list.count) return null;
        var ids = new Array();
        for (var i = 0; i < list.count; i++) ids.push(list.getReference(i).getIdentifier());
        return ids;

Thank you very much for your script.

It works fine, but I want to target only the selected layer

It turns all the layers into a drawing board. This is not what I want to see.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because it is very difficult to learn some scripts in China.

The official language version does not have Chinese help. Can you modify it for me? Let it be only for the selected layer.

[r-bin]

Just delete the first five lines of code.

But in this case, if you start from the moment when you do not have any ArtBoard yet, you will get that not selected layers will be placed in the first created ArtBoard.

In principle, this problem can also be solved.

[Pretend that I am ACP]

Thank you very much, it is perfect.

Rewrite a code you got from me for other task, but with SL output for Artboard this time: How to quickly replace a mask

[Pretend that I am ACP]

Hey, I saw you again, an enthusiastic friend. Because I am a Google translator, it seems that it is inaccurate to translate into Chinese. I don't quite understand what you mean.

[Kukurykus]

I mean the code you got in other theard can be used in changed version to do what you want now. The only what you have to do, is to use ScriptListenerJS.log to get a part with Artboard code.

@天林54894715 I changed my mind. I won't support Alipay because Alipay is part of this: Leave no dark corner - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) Alipay is part of Alibaba Group which own Sesame Credit (Zhima Credit)

I am not even sure if anyone in China can see this because of Great Chinese FireWall. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-18/china-social-credit-a-model-citizen-in-a-digital-dictatorship/...

[Kukurykus]

I only guess you don't want to support invigilating people if that is all about? I think all companies have their dark secrets

There are always some people who like to spread some conspiracy theories.

China is always a peace-loving country.

[Jarda Bereza]

I am sorry for offtopic but I wonder if this happened or is it also conspiracy theory?
