Script to get list of all smart object layers

[patrickhennessey]

Can you change this code to simply output a list of the name of every smart object?

Try the following, it will print the names of all smartobject layers. The names of layers inside group as written in the format group_name:layer_name

function getlayerNames(lyrCol, grpName){
	var retval = []
	for(var i = 0; i < lyrCol.length; i++){
		var lyr  =  lyrCol[i]
		var nm = grpName ? grpName + ":" + lyr.name : lyr.name
		if(lyr.typename == "LayerSet")
			retval = retval.concat(getlayerNames(lyr.layers, nm))
		if(lyr.kind == LayerKind.SMARTOBJECT){
			retval.push(nm)
		}
	}
	return retval
}


alert(getlayerNames(activeDocument.layers))

This would get an Array of Arrays containing the names and IDs. 

// 2017, use it at your own risk;

if (app.documents.length > 0) {
alert (collectSmartObjects2017().join("\n"));
};

var theNumber = applicationDesc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("numberOfLayers"));

var theLayers = new Array;

var theID = layerDesc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('layerID'));
if(layerDesc.hasKey(stringIDToTypeID('smartObject'))) {theLayers.push([theName, theID])}
};
