Question

Export Layers To Files Without Prefix

Hi,

I'm using Photoshop 2015.1.1 Release (20151209.r.327 x64, Mac Pro 10.11.2 (15C50))

Before the latest update I had a modified version of the Export Layers To Files scrip that completed the task without the four digit prefix nor underscores.

I can't figure out how to update the current script to do the same.

Please advise.

Best,

S.

Have you tried your modified script with CC 2015.1.1? Between CC2014 to CC 2015.1.1  it look like 6K of script code has been added to the script.

.

It does not look like the fine naming code has changes so the update you made to the old version should also work for the new version.

Thanks for the reply JJMack‌

I've tried modifying but not getting the proper result.

I must say: I'm have zero to little knowledge in coding.

Here's what I'm trying to achieve:

Current file name: _0001_untitled.jpg

Wanted file name: untitled.jpg

Appreciated if you could give me a step by step guide for that.

Best,

S.

The old thread should do Re: Removing number sequence in 'Export layers to files" in CS5

IMO you need some sort of  document and layer number indicator prefix.   A document can have many layers named untitled and mamy other document may have layers named untitled.  A script that only use layer name for output file name would need to creat a new folder for each out file or run the risk of overlaying a file with different content.
