Saving multiple TIF without a path

[AG_Ps_100]

Hello everyone,

I have this script of saving a TIF that i want to improve.

currently it tries to use activeDocument.path, if it doesn't have one it asks to choose the folder via a dialog.

I have 3 documents. document 2 and 3 doesn't have a path because they are new documents (Ctrl+N)

I want if the active document doesn't have a path to loop through all opened documents (start from first document) and then if it finds a path, it exits the loop and uses this path to save all documents that don't have a path.

If none of the documents have a path, it asks to choose the folder where all the documents will be saved at, via a dialog.

this is my original script:

#target photoshop   
    main();   
    function main(){   
    if(!documents.length) return;   
    var Name = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');   
    try{ var savePath = activeDocument.path; }  
    catch(e)
    {   
        savePath = Folder.selectDialog("select folder");
    }   
    var fileList= savePath.getFiles(Name +"*.tif").sort().reverse();   
   var saveName = File(savePath + "/" + Name)  
    SaveTIFF(saveName);     
    }
    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////  
    function zeroPad(n, s) {    
       n = n.toString();    
       while (n.length < s)  n = '0' + n;    
       return n;    
    };       
    function SaveTIFF(saveFile){  
tiffSaveOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();   
tiffSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;   
tiffSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;   
tiffSaveOptions.layers = true;  
tiffSaveOptions.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.NONE;  
//tiffSaveOptions.jpegQuality=10;  
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, tiffSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);   
}  

Thank you!

Thank you!

The code was almost perfect. I wrote something myself before but "continue" was something I missed.

I made a small adjustment to make it work.

When saving, the name of the file is correct and the path is correct like I wanted but it saved only the activeDocument, so all the files are the activeDocument.

so I added a line to make documents the activeDocument and it worked.

BEFORE

HERE IS MY MODIFIED CODE:

#target photoshop
  main();     
    function main(){     
    for(var i=0; i< app.documents.length; i++) 
    { 
          try 
          { 
              var savePath = app.documents.path; 
              break; 
          }     
            catch(e)   
            {     
                if ( i == app.documents.length-1 ) 
                    savePath = Folder.selectDialog("select folder");   
                else 
                continue; 
            }     
    } 
    for( i=0; i < app.documents.length ; i++) 
    { 
          app.activeDocument = app.documents;
          var Name = app.documents.name; 
          var saveName = File(savePath + "/" + Name)     
          SaveTIFF(saveName);       
      } 
}   
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////     
function SaveTIFF(saveFile){     
tiffSaveOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();     
tiffSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;     
tiffSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;     
tiffSaveOptions.layers = true;     
tiffSaveOptions.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.NONE;     
//tiffSaveOptions.jpegQuality=10;     
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, tiffSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);     
}

RESULT :

you are right what needing to set activeDocument before saving
