I am developing a script to add a custum guides set to a Photoshop document. I use prompt() function to get input from the user.  The script works but it is not effificent when collacting the input form the user.

Is ther a an advanced prompt() dialog box that allows two or more data input fields?

or pehaps a different way to let the user enter the distance for each guide in one single dialog box?

You will probably have to create a proper dialog for that.

Are you familiar with Paul Riggott’s GuideSet Script?

Thanks for the GuideSet reference script. I wasn't familair with it.

I am redaing the textbook  Power, Speed & Automatization whch  has a chapter on custom dialogs at the end of the book.

I wish there was a class somewhere to learn the ins and outs of Photshop Scripting.

A proper class on Photoshop Scripting I don’t know about either.

So my Scripting knowledge is pretty patchy as I have found what documentation I could locate a rather difficult read, but the regulars here and over at ps-scripts.com have helped me a lot.
