Photoshop scripting - Record user activities and repeat. Recording an Action from a script?

[alex_6266]

Hello!

The task is to record custom user activities made with some layer and repeat them on another layer.

The only way I can see at the moment is to use the ScriptingListener plugin.
A jsx script initiates recording, next script stop it, then read and analyze log, remove unnecessary parts and execute it as another jsx script.

Is there perhaps an easier way?
If it is possible to initiate Action recording from a script?
Maybe from UXP?

Thanks in advance.

What kind of activities exactly? 

What is the actual scenario? 

[alex_6266]

Well, the idea is that the activities should be any - adjustments, transformations, filters ets.
as if I had recorded an Action and then applied it to another layer.

I can do that, but repeating it many times is time consuming and I'd like to automate it. So the question was whether it is possible to somehow write the Action from the script - but apparently it is not...

I believe that it's possible, but not practical from an automated perspective.

Adjustments, transformations and filters can all be applied non-destructively (as Adjustment layers and on Smart Objects) and subsequently also transferred (in the case of transformations the issue is a little convoluted, so for that a Scripting solution might be necessary), so I would recommend »simply« pursuing a sensible non-destructive workflow.
