Script to close window created with Arrange > New Window ...

Hi,

I am creating a second window of my image with the Window > Arrange > New Window for... function.

Now i want to close the second window again without closing the first one, but everything i tried so far closes both windows.

app.activeDocument.close()               // Closes both windows

Action > insert menu item : Close       // Closes both windows

Weirdly enough an action calling the menu item "Close" behaves differently than if i click the Close button manually. Clicking the Close button manually only closes the second window instead of the whole file.

Anyone any ideas how to solve this? 🙂

Thanks in advance!

The creation and the closing of a new Window for an open document seem to produce no Action Manager code when recording with ScriptingListener.plugin so the feature may not be scriptable indeed.

If no one else can offer more insight into the issue you could post a Feature Request over at

but I doubt it will get a lot of traction.

Thank you very much for your response.

The creation of a new Window for an open document, which also produces no Action Manager code can be done with script:

app.runMenuItem(charIDToTypeID('NwVw'));

So i thought there might be something similar to close it again? (As stated, running the Menu Item "Close" does, unfortunately, not work).

Thank you for your recommendation though

Well, consider my post more of a bump of the thread back up the list …
