How do I set the content-aware move tool mode to move

[greless]

hi,everybody,

     How do I set the content-aware move tool mode to move?

Create a tool Preset for the content aware Move tool where mode is et to move.  Then in your script  Select the Conten aware Move tool to make it the current tool. Then select tool preset "content aware move tool mode move"

selectTool("recomposeSelection");                         // Content Arare Move Tool
selectToolPreset("Content-Aware Move Tool Mode Move");    // Mode move
// =================================================== Helper functions ===================================================== //
function selectTool(tool) {
    var desc9 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref7 = new ActionReference();
        ref7.putClass( app.stringIDToTypeID(tool) );
    desc9.putReference( app.charIDToTypeID('null'), ref7 );
    executeAction( app.charIDToTypeID('slct'), desc9, DialogModes.NO );
};
function selectToolPreset(PresetName) {
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putName( stringIDToTypeID( "toolPreset" ), PresetName );
desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "slct" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
}

// select tool
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("recomposeSelection"));
var d = new ActionDescriptor();
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("select"), d, DialogModes.NO);
// set option 
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("tool"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("application"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
var ret = executeActionGet(r);
var options = ret.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("currentToolOptions"));           
var tool = ret.getEnumerationType(stringIDToTypeID("tool"));
options.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("recomposeMode"), 2); // or 1 for move
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putClass(tool);
var d = new ActionDescriptor();
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("to"), stringIDToTypeID("null"), options);
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);

That is a much better way then requiring a tool preset.  Still Reset tool should set the tools option mode to some default setting.
