How to use javascript to save jpeg-xr files

Forum|Forum|6 years ago

I am working with JPEG-XR files, with *.wdp extension.

Now I am using action to save active document to jpeg-xr.

However, since the actioin is recorded, everytime the saved file will be of the same file name.

I want to automatically change the saved file name according to the original file name.

I believe, using javascript, this can be done.

However, I don't know how to pass all the arguments, including file name, image quality, and so on, to the saving command.

The 'image quality' option is not even in the save file dialog, it is in another popup dialog, after one entered the file name in the save file dialog.

I see that, with other file format, say jpeg, there is a JPEGSaveOptions for Document.SaveAs() method.

But I can't find the saving options for jpeg-xr files.

I know that this jpeg-xr file format is not intrinsic to Photoshop.

I installed the plugin, downloaded from Microsoft website:

For what it is worth, the following worked for me on the Mac with CC2019.

Lossless settings:

// Clean SL code below

save(false, true, new File( "~/Desktop/myImage.jxr" ), true);
function save(hpe, hpe2, In, lowerCase) {
	var c2t = function (s) {
		return app.charIDToTypeID(s);
	};

	var s2t = function (s) {
		return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
	};

	var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
	var descriptor2 = new ActionDescriptor();

	descriptor2.putBoolean( c2t( "hpe0" ), hpe );
	descriptor2.putBoolean( c2t( "hpe2" ), hpe2 );
	descriptor.putObject( s2t( "as" ), s2t( "Microsoft JPEG XR" ), descriptor2 );
	descriptor.putPath( c2t( "In  " ), In );
	descriptor.putInteger( s2t( "documentID" ), 195 );
	descriptor.putBoolean( s2t( "lowerCase" ), lowerCase );
	descriptor.putEnumerated( s2t( "saveStage" ), s2t( "saveStageType" ), s2t( "saveSucceeded" ));
	executeAction( s2t( "save" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );
}

// Raw AM Code below

/*
var idsave = charIDToTypeID( "save" );
    var desc13 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idAs = charIDToTypeID( "As  " );
        var desc14 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idhpezero = charIDToTypeID( "hpe0" );
        desc14.putBoolean( idhpezero, false );
        var idhpetwo = charIDToTypeID( "hpe2" );
        desc14.putBoolean( idhpetwo, true );
    var idMicrosoftJPEGXR = stringIDToTypeID( "Microsoft JPEG XR" );
    desc13.putObject( idAs, idMicrosoftJPEGXR, desc14 );
    var idIn = charIDToTypeID( "In  " );
    desc13.putPath( idIn, new File( "~/Desktop/myImage.jxr" ) );
    var idDocI = charIDToTypeID( "DocI" );
    desc13.putInteger( idDocI, 195 );
    var idLwCs = charIDToTypeID( "LwCs" );
    desc13.putBoolean( idLwCs, true );
    var idsaveStage = stringIDToTypeID( "saveStage" );
    var idsaveStageType = stringIDToTypeID( "saveStageType" );
    var idsaveSucceeded = stringIDToTypeID( "saveSucceeded" );
    desc13.putEnumerated( idsaveStage, idsaveStageType, idsaveSucceeded );
executeAction( idsave, desc13, DialogModes.NO );

Lossy Settings, 80% (0.8):

// Clean SL code below

save(false, 0.8, new File( "~/Desktop/myImage.jxr" ), true);
function save(hpe, hpe2, In, lowerCase) {
	var c2t = function (s) {
		return app.charIDToTypeID(s);
	};

	var s2t = function (s) {
		return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);

Thank you!

This is exactly what I need.

Sounds like Mylenium might be right about this, but have you tried using the scriptListener plugin to record AM code? Most likely it won't work, but it might be worth a try.

The file name thing should not be an issue. There's tons of sample code for that. Just do a web search. Everything else would depend on Microsoft making provision for functions for scripting in their plug-in, which apparently they don't. So this is a "no dice" thing in the script itself, though of course nothing would stop you from calling a recorded action from within a script.
