So Adobe, why does Photoshop scripting still use ECMA version 3 (circa December 1999)?

The request for Photoshop ECMA script to join the 21st century by davidebarranca four years ago has been largely ignored or denied.

Rhetorically, why can't we use nice things like .map(), .filter() .firstIndexOf()?

Hi @Kukurykus , can you explain what this means? I'm assuming it's some kind of polyfill but I don't have that folder or know where you get the contents of ArrayPolyfills.jsx from. I do have these folders that I've had to put other files in.

You can include this specific .jsx file from your other script (at its beginning) to access modern Javascript methods. I indicated a folder where your Photoshop should be installed in.
