suspendHistory for newly open docs

[karpiyon]

Hi,

In my script I am creating another i try to prevent adding history entries using:

app.activeDocument.suspendHistory("Create Mokup", "main()");  

My script starts working on a specific doc (refDoc), perform a few actions and then open a new doc (dupDoc) and continue there.

When it completes i notice that in the history stages of refDoc, I only see "Create moKup" which is what i want,

however, in the history stages of dupDoc i see all the stages.

How can i suspend history for any doc my main() script, or any internal script my create?

I would think after you open the duplicate you should use suspendHistory

dupeDoc=app.activeDocument.duplicate("DupeDocName");  // Open a Dupelicate

app.activeDocument.suspendHistory('UpdateDuplicate','main()');

[karpiyon]

that does not work.

the dup is generated inside main()

when i add you suggestion line main is beeing invoked again after the duplication.

if it can't be done then how can i delete all history state from the dupDoc before the script competes?

Solution 1)

- post your code

Solution 2)

- you can use something like this...

var idCler = charIDToTypeID( "Cler" );
    var desc27 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref1 = new ActionReference();
        var idPrpr = charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" );
        var idHsSt = charIDToTypeID( "HsSt" );
        ref1.putProperty( idPrpr, idHsSt );
        var idDcmn = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
        var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
        var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
        ref1.putEnumerated( idDcmn, idOrdn, idTrgt );
    desc27.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
executeAction( idCler, desc27, DialogModes.NO );

Then you would need to restructure your code,  Where  there a function to updates the dupe

function main() {

     code .....

    dupeDoc=app.activeDocument.duplicate("DupeDocName");  // Open a Dupelicate

    app.activeDocument.suspendHistory('UpdateDuplicate','updateDup()');

    function updateDup(){

          update code

          close and save duped document

    }

    additional main function code liks close nosave the original document that  main was processing

}
