Does anybody have or know of a utility to externally count P/S layers?

I have several thousand .psd files and would like to find out how many total layers they contain.

Trying to do such a thing manually would be impossible.

Thanks,

Joe

Correct answer Trevor.Dennis

Layer Count is one of the options in the Info Panel options, so I suspect it will be scriptable

imo manually will be faster than making a script

He wants to count layers in thousands of separate PSD files. Tedious exercise if done manually.

If you don't know how to write a script, it's probably worth hiring someone to do it for you.

You need to count total layers in thousands of PSD files? Not just how many layers are in one single PSD?

Should be a feature in Photoshop for this on a single PSD file

I don't know of any scripts to count all layers in thousands of PSD files sitting on your hard drive.

Yes, it's an artwork collection and they were all created with P/S 5.5 & P/S CS2. Is there any kind of external app which would return such a count from the total number of files in a folder [directory]? The total number of layers will probably be in excess of 100,000.
