Here it is, just as you asked for it, and then some! It's the GOLDENGUN of Photoshop name scripts; it will surely blow all others out of the water. Variables allow complete customization, and comments are plentiful for ease of editing.
Overall, the script will automatically center the filename and maximize the text size based on the limits you set, until it clips. It will also attempt to resize outputs automatically if you clip horizontally, as long as you keep reasonable values. The script offers three output options: filename, filename.extension, and path name. Additionally, you can select your font of choice from the comments, apply custom offsets from "auto center," and choose colors based on RGB values. Feel free to edit the Scaling Factors and other variables to achieve the exact output you desire, and verbose output is available as well. The variable for fonts has been improved with helpful comments, and I've added horizontal variable offsets that scale accordingly.
A special thanks to JJMack for the original script and the powerful tool, ChatGPT. Hopefully this helps someone, if you find it useful, please give me a thumbs up! If anyone wants to suggest additional features or finds any bugs, please let me know, and I will fix/add them ASAP.
