Action / condition pour objet dynamique

[Laofey]

Hello Hello,

Dans les "Actions", ce serait intéressant de rajouter une condition " si le calque est un objet dynamique", cela permettrait de pouvoir l'éditer, le pixeliser, choisir une composition de calque....

je croise les doigts...

Merci !

@Laofey – I have added my vote for a condition to be added for a smart object layer!

Smart object layers can have various sub-types:

• Embedded Smart Object
• Linked Smart Object
• Generative Smart Object

P.S. You can vote on a related request here:

I have created various simple javascripts to do "one simple thing" that is missing from Actions or Conditional Actions:

I just created a new one for you to run an action if a layer is a smart object layer:

Conditionals - Run Action If Active Layer is a Smart Object Layer.jsx

I have added 3 more conditional scripts for Embedded Smart Object, Linked Smart Object & Generative Smart Object:

@Bojan Živković – Agreed it would be fantastic to expand on Conditional Actions by adding the ability to add operators and parameters to them. This would require a new GUI feature so that one could pick an operator or combinations of operators < + * / > = either as symbols or text (greater than etc) and a value "50" or "50px" or another operand such as Document Width, Document Height etc.

Such would bring the basic power of scripting in a limited form to the masses! This was the whole idea of starting the Photoshop Action Helper Scripts...

En Javascript c'est possible. Par contre l'enregistrement des actions n'intègre pas encore à ma connaissance d'instructions conditionnelles.

On pourrait par contre inclure dans l'action la conversion en objet dynamique. Il faudrait tester le cas ou le calque en est dejà un…

Thanks a lot Stephen; I'm not using jsx often.. Very inspiring !
hope Adobe will be inspired too 🙂
