Script to check whether text layers in a group have been applied warp text

[Kathyyyy]

Hello!

I have several files with same format, and all text in the "sound" group needs to have warp text applied. I want to find a script to quickly check if all texts in the "sound" group have been applied, and if not, an alert can be displayed for me to detect. If the file does not contain a group named "sound", ignore it.

This alerts when no warp is applied to the selected layer; you should be able to combine this with your other Scripts.

if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID('textKey'));
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") ); 
var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
if (layerDesc.hasKey(stringIDToTypeID('textKey')) == true) {
var textDesc = layerDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('textKey'));
var theWarp = textDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("warp"));
var hasWarpApplied = typeIDToStringID(theWarp.getEnumerationValue(stringIDToTypeID("warpStyle")));
if (hasWarpApplied == "warpNone") {alert ("no warp applied")}
//checkDesc2(theWarp, true);
} else {alert ("no type layer")};
};
////// based on code by michael l hale //////
function checkDesc2 (theDesc, theAlert) {
var c = theDesc.count;
var str = '';
for(var i=0;i<c;i++){ //enumerate descriptor's keys
	str = str + 'Key '+i+' = '+typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getKey(i))+': '+theDesc.getType(theDesc.getKey(i))+'\n'+getValues (theDesc, i)+'\n';
	};
if (theAlert == true) {alert("desc\n\n"+str);
return};
return str
};
////// check //////
function getValues (theDesc, theNumber) {
switch (theDesc.getType(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))) {

it just apply on 1 text selected, not all a group name, right?

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Exactly. 

But you already have at least one Script that checks Layers in Groups, so you should combine the relevant parts of the two. 

[Kathyyyy]

I tried to combine the scripts together before asking the question, but the script kept failing and it's probably because I don't know how to code... I've really bothered you too much, thank you!

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Please post the code you assembled.

Hi,

for completeness, the UXP scripting code to check the current text layer for Warp would be something along these lines:

const { app, constants } = require("photoshop");

if (app.activeDocument.activeLayers[0].textItem.warpStyle.style === constants.WarpStyle.NONE) {
  // no warp applied
} else {
  // some warp applied
}
