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]);

}

}

}

You need to address the LayerComps instead of the Layers then.

thanks
Because I don't know programming, according to your prompt, I can't succeed after modifying it many times.

[c.pfaffenbichler]

According to the documentation the name of a LayerComp is read-write, so what is the problem? 

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Please post the code you are working with at current. 

[jimmy0918]

app.bringToFront();

if (documents.length == 0) {

alert("没有可处理的文档");

}

else{

var visibility = false;

var docRef = activeDocument;

changeCompName(docRef);

}

function changeCompName(comp){

var comps = comp.LayerComp;

if(comps){

for(var i = 0; i < comps.length; i ++){
comps[i].name = "Comp" + [i];

changeCompName(comps[i]);

}

}

}

Use the above script without any prompts and changes
Where is the problem please?
thanks

var comps = comp.LayerComp;

That’s not correctly written, please look at the screenshots I posted. 

var comps = comp.layerComps;

[jimmy0918]

app.bringToFront();

if (documents.length == 0) {

alert("没有可处理的文档");

}

else{

var visibility = false;

var docRef = activeDocument;

changeCompName(docRef);

}

function changeCompName(comp){

var comps = comp.LayerComps;

if(comps){

for(var i = 0; i < comps.length; i ++){
comps[i].name = "Comp" + [i];

changeCompName(comps[i]);

}

}

}

same no change

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Why did you capitalize the first letter? 

I did not write 

var comps = comp.LayerComps;

, I wrote:

var comps = comp.layerComps;

(edited)

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Please forgive my harsh tone, JavaScript is case-sensitive and that may take some getting used to.

It makes a difference if one writes »LayerComps« or »layerComps«. 

[jimmy0918]

Thank you for your patient reply, but I changed it to lowercase and it still didn't work.

app.bringToFront();

if (documents.length == 0) {

alert("没有可处理的文档");

}

else{

var visibility = false;

var docRef = activeDocument;

changeCompName(docRef);

}

function changeCompName(comp){

var comps = comp.layerComps;

if(comps){

for(var i = 0; i < comps.length; i ++){
comps[i].name = "Comp" + [i];

changeCompName(comps[i]);

}

}

}

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Remove the line 

changeCompName(comps[i]);

@jimmy0918 

Please try the following code:

// Rename Layer Comps.jsx

#target photoshop

function renameComps() {
    var counter = 1;
    for (i = 0; i < activeDocument.layerComps.length; i++) {
        myComps = activeDocument.layerComps[i];
        myComps.name = 'Comp ' + counter;
        counter++;
    }
}
app.activeDocument.suspendHistory("Rename Layer Comps.jsx", "renameComps()");

[jimmy0918]

Thanks for your reply
I use this code to test but nothing changes
I am using PS2022, will it have something to do with this?

Hi @jimmy0918,
Please try this code.

app.bringToFront();

if (documents.length == 0) {

alert("没有可处理的文档");

}

else{

var visibility = false;

var docRef = activeDocument;

changeCompName(docRef);

}

function changeCompName(comp){

var counter = 1;

for (i = 0; i < activeDocument.layerComps.length; i++) {

myComps = activeDocument.layerComps[i];

myComps.name = 'LayComp ' + counter;

counter++;

}

}

Thanks
Asuvath

The last 3 scripts are working for me...

Are you sure that we are talking about layer comps and not layer sets?

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Good point. 

@jimmy0918, could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible to clarify what you are trying to achieve. 

[jimmy0918]

I need to modify the names of these groups
thanks

[c.pfaffenbichler]

As @Tom Winkelmann surmised those are Groups, »layerSets« in DOM, not Layer Comps. 

[Stephen Marsh · Accepted solution]

@jimmy0918 – Your original code for top-level layers, modified for only top-level Layer Groups/Sets (not for sets within sets within sets etc):

app.bringToFront();
if (documents.length == 0) {
    alert("No documents to process");
} else {
    var docRef = activeDocument;
    changeLayerName(docRef);
}

function changeLayerName(layer) {
    var layers = layer.layerSets;
    if (layers) {
        for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
            layers[i].name = "Layer Set " + [i];
            changeLayerName(layers[i]);
        }
    }
}

Or the code that I posted for Layer Comps, repurposed for Layer Groups/Sets:

#target photoshop

function renameSets() {
    var counter = 1;
    for (i = 0; i < activeDocument.layers.length; i++) {
        mySets = activeDocument.layerSets[i];
        mySets.name = 'Layer Group ' + counter;
        counter++;
    }
}
app.activeDocument.suspendHistory("Rename Layer Sets.jsx", "renameSets()");

Please forgive my bad English, causing the previous description to be wrong.
Now these codes do what I want.
Thanks a lot for everyone's replies!

Is there anyway to update this script to Comp Layer names to be the visible layer for each comp?
The script I'm using just changes the names to whichever layer i have selected when I run the script:

app.bringToFront();

if (documents.length == 0) {

alert("No documents to process");

}

else{

var visibility = false;

var docRef = activeDocument;

changeCompName(docRef);

}

function changeCompName(comp){

var comps = comp.layerComps;

if(comps){

for(var i = 0; i < comps.length; i ++){
comps[i].name = docRef.activeLayer.name + [i];

changeCompName(comps[i]);

}

}

}

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible to clarify what you mean? 

[Johnathan3255409376r4]

I created a few hundred layer comps based on visibility combinations of layers only, using text layers, color layers, and background image layers.

 

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Please post meaningful screenshots that actually illustrate the relation of the names of Layer Comps and visible Layers …
