save value edittext

[Geppetto Luis]

Good morning

I'm having a problem storing the edittext value in the .ini file

in the preset folder

I would like the value placed in the edittext window to be stored in the .ini file

where am I wrong?

function readini() {
    var SCRIPTS_FOLDER = new Folder(app.path + '/' + localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts"));
    ini=new File([SCRIPTS_FOLDER + "/Memory.ini"]);
    if (ini.created) {
        $.evalFile(ini);
        return true;
    };
    ini.close();
};
  app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;  
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;  
var win = new Window('dialog', 'IMAGE DIMENSION',[100,100,300,300]);   
win.msgPnl = win.add('panel', [25,15,180,195], 'OPTION');   
win.msgPnl.titleSt = win.msgPnl.add('statictext', [15,15,130,35], 'DIMENSION PX:');  
win.msgPnl.titleEt = win.msgPnl.add('edittext', [15,45,115,65], '1920');   
win.buttonRef = win.msgPnl.add('button',  [15, 70, 115, 95] , 'APPLY', { name:'ok'});  
win.msgPnl.cancelBtn = win.msgPnl.add('button', [15,105,115,130],'CANCEL', {name:'cancel'});
win.buttonsave = win.msgPnl.add('button',  [15, 140, 115, 165] , 'SAVE PRESET', { name:'ok'});  
win.buttonsave.onClick = function(){
    ini.open('w');
    ini.writeln("win.msgPnl.titleEt  =" ,Math.floor(msgPnl));
    ini.close();
};
/*
if (readini()) {
    if (msgPnl) {
       win.msgPnl.titleEt =msgPnl;
       win.msgPnl.titleEt .text=msgPnl;
    };
}
*/
win.buttonRef.onClick = function(){  
    win.close(0);  
}  
win.center();  
win.show()

Are you on Windows or Mac?

If you are using Windows you do not have write permission to that folder.

[Geppetto Luis]

Use both windows and mac.

[SuperMerlin]

In that case use a different folder IE.

//amend for Photoshop Version !
var FileFolder = Folder(Folder.userData + "/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/presets/scripts");
if(!FileFolder.exists) FileFolder.create();

SuperMerlin

the memory.ini file creates it

but does not store the value of edittext.

[SuperMerlin]

You have a few errors!

win.buttonsave.onClick = function(){  
    var SCRIPTS_FOLDER = new Folder(app.path + '/' + localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts")); 
    //var SCRIPTS_FOLDER  = new Folder(Folder.userData + "/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/presets/scripts");
    ini=new File(SCRIPTS_FOLDER + "/Memory.ini"); 
    ini.open('w');  
    ini.writeln("win.msgPnl.titleEt  = " + Math.floor(Number(win.msgPnl.titleEt.text)));  
    ini.close();  
}; 

This function did not know where ini was plus you were not writing a valid string.

[Geppetto Luis]

Ok the first step is done

the value is stored in the memory.ini file

i in edittext i put the value 1032

this value has been saved in memory.ini correctly

this and the value

win.msgPnl.titleEt = 1032

now i would like it when I reopen the dialog box

the stored value is displayed in the edittext window.

as in this image

This is one way...

#target photoshop;
app.bringToFront();
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;    
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;  
var SCRIPTS_FOLDER = new Folder(app.path + '/' + localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts"));  
//alternative folder
 //  var SCRIPTS_FOLDER  = new Folder(Folder.userData + "/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/presets/scripts");
    if(!SCRIPTS_FOLDER.exists) SCRIPTS_FOLDER.create();
     ini=new File(SCRIPTS_FOLDER + "/Memory.ini"); 
     var data='';
    if (ini.exists) {  
       ini.open('r');  
       data = ini.read().match(/\S+/g);
        ini.close();
    };    
var win = new Window('dialog', 'IMAGE DIMENSION',[100,100,300,300]);      
win.msgPnl = win.add('panel', [25,15,180,195], 'OPTION');     
win.msgPnl.titleSt = win.msgPnl.add('statictext', [15,15,130,35], 'DIMENSION PX:');    
win.msgPnl.titleEt = win.msgPnl.add('edittext', [15,45,115,65], '1920');     
win.buttonRef = win.msgPnl.add('button',  [15, 70, 115, 95] , 'APPLY', { name:'ok'});    
win.msgPnl.cancelBtn = win.msgPnl.add('button', [15,105,115,130],'CANCEL', {name:'cancel'});  
win.buttonsave = win.msgPnl.add('button',  [15, 140, 115, 165] , 'SAVE PRESET', { name:'ok'});    
if(data != '')  win.msgPnl.titleEt.text = data[data.length -1];
win.buttonsave.onClick = function(){  
    ini.open('w');  
    ini.writeln("win.msgPnl.titleEt  = " + Math.floor(Number(win.msgPnl.titleEt.text)));  
    ini.close();  
};  
win.buttonRef.onClick = function(){    
    win.close(0);    
}    
win.center();    
win.show();

Thank you

just what I was looking for.

[Geppetto Luis]

Now I need to memorize the text

unfortunately with the text it does not work

what must be changed to make it work properly

// SCRIPT

app.bringToFront();  
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;      
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;    
var SCRIPTS_FOLDER = new Folder(app.path + '/' + localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts"));    
//alternative folder  
 //  var SCRIPTS_FOLDER  = new Folder(Folder.userData + "/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/presets/scripts");  
    if(!SCRIPTS_FOLDER.exists) SCRIPTS_FOLDER.create();  
     ini=new File(SCRIPTS_FOLDER + "/Memory.ini");   
     var data='';  
    if (ini.exists) {    
       ini.open('r');    
       data = ini.read().match(/\S+/g);  
        ini.close();  
    };      
var win = new Window('dialog', 'MEMORY TEXT',[100,100,300,300]);        
win.msgPnl = win.add('panel', [25,15,180,195], 'OPTION');       
win.msgPnl.titleSt = win.msgPnl.add('statictext', [15,15,130,35], 'DIMENSION PX:');      
win.msgPnl.titleEt = win.msgPnl.add('edittext', [15,45,115,65], 'TEXT TEST ');       
win.buttonRef = win.msgPnl.add('button',  [15, 70, 115, 95] , 'APPLY', { name:'ok'});      
win.msgPnl.cancelBtn = win.msgPnl.add('button', [15,105,115,130],'CANCEL', {name:'cancel'});    
win.buttonsave = win.msgPnl.add('button',  [15, 140, 115, 165] , 'SAVE PRESET', { name:'ok'});      
if(data != '')  win.msgPnl.titleEt.text = data[data.length -1];  
win.buttonsave.onClick = function(){    
    ini.open('w');    
    ini.writeln("win.msgPnl.titleEt  = " + Math.floor(Number(win.msgPnl.titleEt.text)));    
    ini.close();    
};    
win.buttonRef.onClick = function(){      
    win.close(0);      
}      
win.center();      
win.show();
