Photoshop scripting ECMA time up update from version 3

[Ghoul Fool]

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()?

This is still primarily a user Forum so if you want to »talk to« Adobe you are at the wrong place. 

Have you been following @DBarranca ’s posts about Adobe UXP?

It's a rhetorical opening gambit 🙂

Did you watch the videos? 

Because I seem to recall that he mentions changes in Photoshop scripting.

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.

But where do you get your contents of your ArrayPolyfills.jsx file?  Did you just look for a polyfill for ECMA 3?

[Kukurykus]

I don't understand what you ask for. Say it other way.

[lg84]

What is inside of ArrayPolyfills.jsx?

[Kukurykus]

The functions the original poster mentioned plus some more.
