    I posted one version on  Jun 19, 2022 – then another on  Jul 12, 2022 – both using different code to process selected layers. Both obviously working for me at the time. What version of Photoshop doesn't work?

     

    Which code doesn't work? What do you mean by doesn't work. Can you provide a sample file?

      You can rename the layers to whatever you want.

      Layers are not horizontal or vertical, they just use the entire document (even though they may contain a lot of transparency around them)

      That is not correct.

      Layer can be any size they can be much latger then a  documents canvas size and they can be much smaler then  a document canvas size. All Layer have a retangular layer's bounds that will have some aspect ratio.

      Are you referring to the layers aspect ratio being portrait or landscape  you can get that from the layers bounds so it would be easy to change the layers name according to its aspect ratio.

        Then it shoud be easy for you to script the process you want automated make it part of your insert process whatever that is.
