script load file into stack

Using listener I have used the "load files into stack" in a script that also does a bunch of other things. It works but, I still have to manually tell it to use the two files that are open. Is there a way to modify and incorporate the "load files into stack" script to just do it to the only two files that are open? Or even better only have one file open and have load files from a source folder?

In only froze photoshop once, now it just closed both images and does nothing else and throws the error This is the script I'm using which a direct copy from what you posted. It worked at first.

For me it worked. Reset preferences and relaunch Photoshop, then try again.

If that not helps then: How and when to use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool

Just as an alternative take on the whole process, this could be easily run as an action one at a time or via batch or Image Processor or Image Processor Pro. You could also just make the 8x12 file 8x2. This action assumes that the image is open or that it is opened by batch etc.

Thanks, I'll look into that. I'll probably either use a script that calls actions or an action that calls some scripts.

Thanks toboth of you you've helped a lot. I think this thread has run it's course. If I run into more problems I'll start a new one.

Are you using specific features of the Load Files Into Stack script, such as auto align? Or was this just the most obvious way for you to combine multiple files into a single layered file?

Are you only wishing to have a two layer result, or is it possible that more than one layer will be added to the open target document?

It was just the only way I could figure out how to load two files into a single file.

By @Stephen Marsh

file A is the current open image.
File B is a larger image I want to place under file A. File B is ALWAYS the same named the same in the same location.
File B is 8x12 inches file A is 8x10 inches.
File A needs to be aligned to the top right or top left.
In this example File A is the actual photo, File B is the file with the information.

I have a script that does this but it involves opening a new 8x12 then pasting the 8x10 and 8x2 on it. I thought I could simplify by using layers. Thanks to Kukurvkus for helping me get that sorted out. I'm also trying to sort out doing the date automatically.

dcmnts = []; while(documents.length)
	dcmnts.push((dcmnt = activeDocument).fullName),
	dcmnt.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)

txt = '$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts'
pth = path + '/' + localize(txt) + '/Load Files into Stack.jsx'
loadLayersFromScript ^= 1, $.evalFile(File(pth))
loadLayers.intoStack(dcmnts)

Also since images arent the same size place one in a specific location on the larger one?

What would the specific location be?

Say upper left relative to the canvas of the target document?
