Thank you guys,
Ended up with this one, works fine: it takes clipboard and name with it an open document without any interruption.
Updated: it's .jsx script that creates .bat file and Clipboard file and then delete them.
// The script will seamlessly save open document as ClipboardText.psb in the same directory;
// known issues: cyrillic characters will result in underscore.
// Function to execute a command
function executeCommand(command) {
var fileObj = new File(command);
fileObj.execute();
}
try {
// Get the directory of the current document
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var docPath = doc.path;
// Define the batch file path and clipboard file path
var tempBatchFile = new File(docPath + "/TempClipboard.bat");
var clipboardFilePath = docPath + "/Clipboard.txt";
// Create the batch script
tempBatchFile.open("w");
tempBatchFile.writeln("@echo off");
tempBatchFile.writeln(":: Get the directory where the batch file is located");
tempBatchFile.writeln("set \"batchDir=%~dp0\"");
tempBatchFile.writeln(":: Save clipboard content to Clipboard.txt in the same directory");
tempBatchFile.writeln("powershell -command \"& {Get-Clipboard | Out-File -FilePath '%batchDir%Clipboard.txt' -Encoding UTF8}\"");
tempBatchFile.close();
// Execute the Batch script to create Clipboard.txt
executeCommand(tempBatchFile.fsName);
// Wait for the batch file to complete
$.sleep(1000);
// Remove the temporary batch file
tempBatchFile.remove();
// Read the text content from Clipboard.txt
var inputFile = new File(clipboardFilePath);
inputFile.open("r"); // Open the file in read mode
// inputFile.open("r",'e', 'TEXT', '????');
var fileName = inputFile.read(); // Read the file content as is
inputFile.close();
inputFile.remove(); // Optionally delete the clipboard file
// Trim leading and trailing spaces
fileName = fileName.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ""); // Remove leading and trailing whitespace
// Sanitize filename: Replace invalid characters, replace spaces, and limit characters
fileName = fileName.replace(/[\/\\:*?"<>|]/g, "_"); // Replace invalid characters
fileName = fileName.replace(/\s+/g, "_"); // Replace spaces with underscores
fileName = fileName.substring(0, 60); // Limit characters to 60
// Create the save file path with .psb extension
var saveFile = new File(docPath + "/" + fileName + ".psb");
// Function to save as PSB with specified options
function saveAsPSB(thePath, asCopy, theDialog) {
var s2t = function (s) {
return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};
var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
var descriptor2 = new ActionDescriptor();
descriptor.putObject(s2t("as"), s2t("largeDocumentFormat"), descriptor2); // Specify PSB format
descriptor.putPath(s2t("in"), thePath); // Specify save path
descriptor.putBoolean(s2t("copy"), asCopy); // Save as a copy if true
descriptor.putBoolean(s2t("lowerCase"), true); // Use lowercase extension
descriptor.putBoolean(s2t("layers"), true); // Save with layers
descriptor.putBoolean(s2t("alphaChannels"), true); // Save with alpha channels
descriptor.putBoolean(s2t("maximizeCompatibility"), false); // Don't maximize compatibility
descriptor.putBoolean(s2t("embedProfile"), true); // Embed color profile
executeAction(s2t("save"), descriptor, theDialog); // Execute the save action
}
// Save the document strictly as PSB
saveAsPSB(saveFile, false, DialogModes.NO);
} catch (e) {
// Minimal error handling for unexpected issues
alert("Error: " + e.message);
}
