Is there any way to list get all the Actions-scripts with a script?

I am using generate-core to talk to photoshop.

cTID is a function that i have created. Function cTID(s As String) As Integer Return _appPs.CharIDToTypeID(s) End Function

Yes, i just got it to work sort of... The problem is now that it skip the last Action Group and can not real get it to list the actions. I made also a question over at Stack Overflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31996250/vb-net-photoshop-application

Your VB code looks okay (as far as I can tell), you just need to replace cTID with the VB equivalent of app.charIDToTypeID(s).

I get a error "Additional information: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop." on cTID("Actn")

The cTID function is defined at the top of the getActionSets function so I have no clue what the error is for.

This will get you an array of action set objects which each have a list of actions that they contain:

function getActionSets() {
  function cTID(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
  var i = 1;
  var sets = [];
  while (true) {
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putIndex(cTID("ASet"), i);
    var desc;
    var lvl = $.level;
    $.level = 0;
    try {
      desc = executeActionGet(ref);
    } catch (e) {
      break;    // all done
    } finally {
      $.level = lvl;
    }
    if (desc.hasKey(cTID("Nm  "))) {
      var set = {};
      set.index = i;
      set.name = desc.getString(cTID("Nm  "));
      set.toString = function() { return this.name; };
      set.count = desc.getInteger(cTID("NmbC"));
      set.actions = [];
      for (var j = 1; j <= set.count; j++) {
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putIndex(cTID('Actn'), j);
        ref.putIndex(cTID('ASet'), set.index);
        var adesc = executeActionGet(ref);
        var actName = adesc.getString(cTID('Nm  '));
        set.actions.push(actName);
      }
      sets.push(set);
    }
    i++;
  }
  return sets;
};

If you need scripts, that's a different bit of code.

Thanks! Would love more info how to use that function. Do i use it on evaluateJSXString function or can i use it like this?

(function () {
    "use strict";


    function init(generator) {
        var _generator = generator;
        var a = getActionSets();

        console.log("plugin started");
        console.log(a);
    }


    exports.init = init;


}());
