Select Crop Tool and select a ratio (based on Filename)

[Mattmcquiff]

I have lots of files that when I crop them they need to a specific ratio. Currently they are saved to the tool.

I would like to be able to make a shortcut so that it selects the crop tool and selects the ratio from the File name. I can gather the info from the filename.

i.e.  FR10 = a Ratio of 2:3

or

DE20 = 3:4

It does not need to crop the image just select the tool.

I found this to select the tool

The beginning is like this.

if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    var myDocument = activeDocument;
    var fileNameNoExtension = myDocument.name;
  fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "." );
  if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {
      fileNameNoExtension.length--;
    }
    fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join(".");
    var BrandString = fileNameNoExtension.substr(0,4);
  }
if (/^(FR10|WA35)$/.exec(BrandString)){
    var the_x_Ratio =2
    var the_y_Ratio =3
    }

OK So I have popped this into the top of the original script 

var ref = new ActionReference();

ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );

var applicationDesc = executeActionGet(ref);

var currentToolOpt = applicationDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("currentToolOptions"));

var settings = currentToolOpt.getObjectValue(currentToolOpt.getKey(0));

var previouswidth (settings.getUnitDoubleValue(settings.getKey(3)));

var previousheight (settings.getUnitDoubleValue(settings.getKey(5)));

Then after all my if statements added the else like lie so,

if (myDocument.name.indexOf("WA35") != -1) {var rel = (2/3)};

if (myDocument.name.indexOf("MM__") != -1) {var rel = (1500/2000)};

else {var rel = (previouswidth/previousheight)};

Obviously not working how do I write the else if nothing fits then use previous?

Why keys 3 and 5?

Don’t you need 1 and 2?

[Mattmcquiff]

3 and 5 match those entered in the ratio.

[tssee]

I would like to know if it is possible to have the 16x9 ratio

[tssee]

No one can help me with the horizontal crop

[c.pfaffenbichler]

No one can help me with the horizontal crop

What is the problem?

Have you tried amending the Script?

[tssee]

I did various tests but I did not have any luck

I would like the crop to be horizontal as in the figure above

thank you

Quite frankly I think you should start a new thread and post the code you have issues with instead of adding to some old thread.
