Photoshop Script Count Group Name

[lukhas]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to export my count groups into a seperate file so that they can also be seen with simple image viewers.

This already works quite good, but I would like to use the name of the count group as part of my export filename.

Is there a way to get the count group name in my script? What would also be nice (but not necessarily required for my use case) is to get the color of the dots?

Thanks,

Lukas

What I already have:

    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putProperty(charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), stringIDToTypeID("countClass"));
    ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt"));
    var Count = executeActionGet(ref).getList(stringIDToTypeID("countClass")).count

    for (var groupNum = 0; groupNum < 10; groupNum++) {
        var layer = undefined;
        for (var z = 0; z < Count; z++) {
            var Group = executeActionGet(ref).getList(stringIDToTypeID("countClass")).getObjectValue(z).getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("group"));
            if (Group == groupNum) {
                if (layer == undefined) {
                    layer = createLayer("count " + Group);
                }
                var X = executeActionGet(ref).getList(stringIDToTypeID("countClass")).getObjectValue(z).getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("x"));
                var Y = executeActionGet(ref).getList(stringIDToTypeID("countClass")).getObjectValue(z).getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("y"));
                // TODO extract color of dot to draw new circle
                my_circle(X, Y);
            }
        }
        if (layer != undefined) {
            // TODO use group name instead of groupNum for saveAs
            saveAs(groupNum);
            layer.remove();
        }
    }

activeDocument.layerSets.length

This is 0 in my case.

[Kukurykus]

The code I provided shows how many top level 'groups' you have in document.

[lukhas]

i think this is a missunderstanding: I need to know the names of the "count groups" which can be created when using the count tool. The ones where the default names are "Count Group 1", "Count Group 2",...
Since the property you mentioned is 0 in my case, it seems like these kind of groups are unrelated to the top level 'groups'.

[Kukurykus]

Now I understand. You could create 'New Tool Preset...' and then read groups name from the file, but for some reason this option is greyed, so that may be bug, at least I think there is no any other tool with no option to do it 😕

So, just confirming here, there is no way to get the group name from the script? I tried 'typename' but that was just CountItem

 

We have 4 or 5 groups.

My script 

```

var ci = app.activeDocument.countItems
var plist = "ItemNumber\tXpos\tYpos\n"
var tp = Folder.desktop + "/CountItem.txt";
for (var i = 0; i < ci.length; i++){
var pos = ci[i].position.toString().split(",")
var group = ci[i].typename.toString()
plist += (i+1) + "\t" + pos[0] +"\t" + pos[1] + "\t" + group + "\n"
};

writeText(tp, plist)

/**
* Write a text file
* the file path
* the text
*
*/
function writeText(p,s){
var file = new File(p.toString());
file.encoding = 'UTF-8';
file.open('w');
file.write(s);
file.close();
}

```

There is always a way, the question is where to find it 🙂

I'm not as good at working with binary files as a @r-bin, but data can definitely be obtained directly from image file, for example:

(I have updated the code and added a color name definition based on the color difference formula (delta E))
