reveal in explorer js

[trường_1768]

Is it possible to use the "Reveal in Explorer" function using jsx? After using it, I want it to appear correctly in the image I am opening in Photoshop. Thank you, have a good day everyone

Set a variable to the Folder object, and then you can use .execute() to open the folder in either Windows Explorer or the Finder on the Mac.

var theFolder = Folder(app.activeDocument.path);
theFolder.execute();

Or just skip the variable:

Folder(app.activeDocument.path).execute();

I don't know how to have the file selected in Explorer, that would probably take some extra scripting to call on local operating system commands.

It is possible when calling Adobe Bridge:

this is the answer i was looking for. But I still thank you for your help. Wish you a good day

for windows

var cmd = "explorer /select," + activeDocument.fullName.fsName;
system(cmd);

May not work with non-English names.

That's very literal of how a human would manually do it and not how one would generally do things via scripting.

awesome genius minds, thats what i was looking for all along. but when i run the script i want it to open the image next to it in photoshop, can you help me with that?

[trường_1768]

sorry i am a foreigner so it may be difficult for you to understand. i want after running the script above to transfer to BR and i want to open the image next to the image when i run the script in PTS

[r-bin · Accepted solution]

Maybe I understood what you want

var the_name = activeDocument.name;

var files = activeDocument.path.getFiles();

files.sort(sort_func);

function sort_func(a, b) 
    {
    // Sorting will be alphabetical. 
    // It may differ from the one set in the explorer, especially for names with numbers.
    // For exact matching of sorting, you need to write another sorting function. 
    // Google will help you. )

    if (a > b) return 1;
    else if (a < b) return -1;
    else return 0;
    }

// here you can close activeDocument
// activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);


for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
    {
    if (files[i].name.toLowerCase() == the_name.toLowerCase())
        {
        if (i != files.length-1) 
            {
            open(files[i+1]);
            break;
            }    
        }
    }

if (i == files.length) alert("it was the last file");

I'll mark r-bin's reply as the correct answer for you.

@trường_1768 

Rather than telling us what steps you think you would like to do, perhaps just describe the process, the actual task. There may be a different way to the same result.

Such as:

"From a single folder, I would like to batch automate combining two alphabetically sorting files into a layered PSD file".

[trường_1768]

yes. thank you. maybe because of the language barrier so my explanation is a bit confusing. but everything is resolved, maybe it will help the work for the company I am working for. thank you again

OK, please mark the replies that helped as a correct answer.
