Rename layer comps

[jimmy0918]

This is the layer renaming script I am using now. I want to change it to only rename the layer comps. How can I modify the code?
Tthank you very much~

app.bringToFront();

if (documents.length == 0) {

alert("No documents to process");

}

else{

var visibility = false;

var docRef = activeDocument;

changeLayerName(docRef);

}

function changeLayerName(layer){

var layers = layer.layers;

if(layers){

for(var i = 0; i < layers.length; i ++){

layers[i].name = "Layer " + [i];

changeLayerName(layers[i]);

}

}

}

I want the layer comps to be renamed to the visible layers. So for example - referencing the above screenshot, i would like the layer comp to be renamed "Welcome_LightBlue_Waves". Right now, it is named Layer Comp 12.

Layer Comp 12 = Welcome, LightBlue, Waves are the only layers visible 

Would like the Layer Comp changed name to be: Welcome_LightBlue_Waves

Layer Comp 13 = Welcome, LightBlue, Stone are the only visible layers

Would like the Layer Comp changed name to be: Welcome_LightBlue_Stone

Layer Comp 14 = Welcome, LightBlue, Grunge are the only visible layers

Would like the Layer Comp changed name to be: Welcome_LightBlue_Grunge

etc etc

Not sure how I can show that in screenshots

Post a cropped screenshot of the layers panel with the layers visible for a particular layer comp. It is important to know if there are layer groups etc.

You could also upload a copy of the PSD with comps, it could be resized to a very small pixel dimension.

I can do that later this evening, but no, no layer groups. Would it be better if I added groups?

Arguably NO!

Try the following code to rename existing comps using layer visibility:

Rename Layer Comps to Visible Layer Names.jsx

#target photoshop

function renameComps() {

    // Set the layer variable
    var theLayers = activeDocument.layers;

    // Backwards loop over the comps
    //for (var i = activeDocument.layerComps.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    // Forwards loop over the comps
    for (var i = 0; i < activeDocument.layerComps.length; i++) {

        // Select each comp
        activeDocument.layerComps[i].apply();

        // Create an empty array to hold the layer names
        var layerNames = [];

        // Backwards loop over the top-level layers
        //for (var j = theLayers.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
        // Forwards loop over the top-level layers
        for (var j = 0; j < theLayers.length; j++) {
            if (theLayers[j].visible === true) {
                // Push the layer names to the array
                layerNames.push(theLayers[j].name);
            }
        }

        // Join the layer names with an underscore separator
        var joinLayerNames = layerNames.join("_");

        // Rename the layer comp
        activeDocument.layerComps[i].name = joinLayerNames;
    }
}

activeDocument.suspendHistory("Rename Layer Comps to Visible Layer Names.jsx", "renameComps()");

Worked perfectly. Thank you so much!

You're welcome!

As my previous script was reactive, renaming existing comps, the following script might be preferred as it is proactive.

Create a new comp using the visible layer names:

/*

Add Layer Comp Using Visible Layer Names.jsx

#target photoshop

// Set the layer variable
var theLayers = activeDocument.layers;

// Create an empty array to hold the layer names
var layerNames = [];

// Backwards loop over the top-level layers
//for (var j = theLayers.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
// Forwards loop over the top-level layers
for (var j = 0; j < theLayers.length; j++) {
	if (theLayers[j].visible === true) {
		// Push the layer names to the array
		layerNames.push(theLayers[j].name);
	}
}

// Join the layer names with an underscore separator
var joinLayerNames = layerNames.join("_");

// Add the layer comp (String name, String comment, bool appearance, bool position, bool visibility)
activeDocument.layerComps.add(joinLayerNames, '', true, true, true);
