Hi

I have jsx script which can rename layers with current file name + suffix. Script select layer by names. But, this work if file is saved to disk.

Need to modify script to use name even if file is not previously save to disk, like freshly opened pdf file?

var doc = app.activeDocument;

doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 2");

app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).match(/(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/)[1] + "_Zadnjica";

doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 3");

app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).match(/(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/)[1] + "_Hrbat";

doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 4");

app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).match(/(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/)[1] + "_Prednjica";

I thought, this is not what you want? Or?

In this case you can remove line #03 and replace namePart with docName.

Than is this the code you need:

var doc = app.activeDocument;


var docName = doc.name;


// you have to check if the following layers really exists !!!


doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 2");


app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = docName + "_Zadnjica";


doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 3");


app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = docName + "_Hrbat";


doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 4");


app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = docName + "_Prednjica";




// additional you need as save function

This is not really the best way. But you can do something like that with your existing code:

var doc = app.activeDocument;


var yourWishNamePart2Save = "NewSaveName";


// you have to check if the following layers really exists !!!


doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 2");


app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = yourWishNamePart2Save + "_Zadnjica";


doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 3");


app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = yourWishNamePart2Save + "_Hrbat";


doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 4");


app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = yourWishNamePart2Save + "_Prednjica";




// additional you need as save function with yourWishNamePart2Save + extension

Have fun

Ok.

Try this one

var doc = app.activeDocument;


var docName = doc.name;


var namePart = decodeURI(docName).match(/(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/)[1];


// you have to check if the following layers really exists !!!


doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 2");


app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = namePart + "_Zadnjica";


doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 3");


app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = namePart + "_Hrbat";


doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("Layer 4");


app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = namePart + "_Prednjica";




// additional you need a save function
