Something I love in illustrator is spacing out objects evenly no matter the object's width. IE: putting 20px between each differently shaped nav item.

Here it is: http://morris-photographics.com/photo...

How to install in inside a script, but here it is:

1. Place script in:
PC(32): C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS#\Presets\Scripts\
PC(64): C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS# (64 Bit)\Presets\Scripts\
Mac: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS#/Presets/Scripts/
2. Restart Photoshop
3. Choose File > Scripts > Distribute Layer Spacing Horizontal

This I know, but I do not consider it a good solution. Scripts are slow. Every time I'm not on my PC I have to re-download the file. I use this feature often. There is no a button on the toolbar where you can quickly and easily click. I must always browse the menu. You can set it shortcut, but you must devise a shortcut that is not assigned to anything and then it learned. Instead of a single button on the toolbar there are three and neither does what I want. Moreover, it is inconsistent in comparison with illustrator

This also happened with me. I'm on a Mac and sometimes when saving files from the web, it adds .txt to the end of the file, making it a text file. You can rt-click the file and click "Get Info" and change the file extension to .jsx

When I did this, I re-opened Photoshop and it was therein the scripts.

Agree with Andreas - and when you're distributing something like the elements of a navigation system, or any text-based UI system, you often have to redistribute the elements 10-15 times based on client revisions and business needs. I've lost 100's of hours over the years manually distributing.  A randomizer would be great too, I bet there are scripts for that.

It's math, homie.  If your elements aren't mathematically sized so that distribution mathematically makes sense to fit the grid, it's not going to align to the grid.

Dear Adobe Photoshop,

Microsoft Powerpoint can distribute evenly regardless of element size.  Why can't you?

Sincerely,
For real though....
