Add filename to photos

[grahamw85206071]

I am after a simple script that will automatically add the image filename to my photos as a text layer. 

I need a .jsx file that I can download and add to my Photoshop scripts folder.

have you tried any search here or google etc Photoshop Script to add File name text layer 

search here

yes, trouble is I don't really know what I'm doing.

I downloaded the script from https://tejwani.com/photoshop-script-insert-current-filename/

This sort of worked but required a step to decide on the script size and whether to include the file path or extension.

I used to have a script that just loaded the file name without this step but a change of computer meant I lost the script and I cannot find a replacement.
