Upgraded from CS3 to CS4... Now scripts don't export right.

[MitchFlorida]

Hello... Do you know why the script below doesn't work correctly in CS4?

This worked so great in CS3.. The problem is now, it only saves the last slice... whereas before, it saved each slice perfectly. Do you have any idea what could fix this? Thank a lot for any help!

function ExportJpg(fileSuffix)

{

try

{

var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();

var jpgFile = new File( savePath + photoName + fileSuffix );

options.quality = 81;

options.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG; // Or it'll default to GIF.

docRef.exportDocument(jpgFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, options);

}

catch (e)

{ // display error

alert("Error encountered when saving the image! \r\r" + e);

return; // quit

}

};

function fitImage(newImgSize) {

if (docRef.width > docRef.height) {

docRef.resizeImage(newImgSize, undefined, undefined, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC)

}

if (docRef.width < docRef.height) {

docRef.resizeImage(undefined, newImgSize, undefined, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC)

}

if (docRef.width == docRef.height) {

docRef.resizeImage(newImgSize, newImgSize, undefined, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC)

}

};

//#target photoshop

app.bringToFront(); // in case we double clicked the file

app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;

if(documents.length==0) {

alert("Error: The native photoshop file (*.psd) must be opened.")

}

var docRef = app.activeDocument;

var savePath = "/c/photoshop/"; // this is where it will output your files

var counter = 0;

var savedState_psd = docRef.activeHistoryState; // used to start a new image

var txtFileRef = File("/c/a1/projects/pp/xxxxxxxxxxx/psd_vars.csv");

I don't think it is a CS4 issue. It seems that exporting using save for web uses the last SFW setting in the GUI. Try doing a normal save for web and make sure that all slices are selected in the slice dropdown. It sounds like it is now set to selected slices ( which would be the last one created )

[MitchFlorida]

Wow...... THANK YOU very very much for this answer, it works now. Can't believe it was something this simple lol...

Is there anyway to force "save all slices" from the script? Thanks again.
Mitch

As far as I know there is no way to change those setting using a script. You just have to keep that in mind when you run the script and let other users know to check those settings if you share your script.
