Unlocked all layers and nested layers

[dvivas]

Hi guys, I've been trying to come up with a script that unlocks all layers, groups and nested layers in a PSD file, but unsuccessfully.

I think it should be simple, but I can't make it work. And I need to achieve this by script, so later I can do some more tweaking.

example of layers:

Any help??

thanks so much!!!

Use scriptListener to get the code to unlock the layers. Then you need to create a recursive function to cycle through all the layers and layersets.

[r-bin · Accepted solution]

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("selectAllLayers"));
var d = new ActionDescriptor();
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();
var d2 = new ActionDescriptor();
d2.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("protectNone"), true);
d1.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("layerLocking"), stringIDToTypeID("layerLocking"), d2);
d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("to"), stringIDToTypeID("layer"), d1);
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);
app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("selectNoLayers"));

My god, you're a genius!

that worked flawlessly!

By looking at your code, it was definitely out of my league, I need to learn and practice more

Thanks so much!!!
