PS Script: Fix for Wavelet Decompose.jsx?

Some weeks ago I noticed a retoucher had an action for "Wavelet Decompose".

At that time I didn't know it was for frequency separation (which I'm not really needing much, or mastering yet), so out of curiosity I Googled and found this script ...

 

https://github.com/coderand/photoshop

 

IIRC, it still works in PS 2019, but in my PS 21.2.4 it doesn't.

It is supposed to open a new document where it will make the requested layers. This is where it seems to get stuck in newer versions of PS...

 

I think the problem might be in this part...

var waveletDoc = app.documents.add(
  app.activeDocument.width,
  app.activeDocument.height,
  app.activeDocument.resolution,
  app.activeDocument.name + "-" + activeLayer.name + "-Wavelet",
  NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT,
  app.activeDocument.pixelAspectRatio,
  BitsPerChannelType.SIXTEEN
);

 

If you see an obvious mismatch for newer PS versions, please suggest a change.

OTOH, I don't really need this at all (AFAIK), so don't waste your time for me... 😉

Remove percentages from the ruler. This is the problem.

Try 

var waveletDoc = app.documents.add(
  app.activeDocument.width,
  app.activeDocument.height,
  app.activeDocument.resolution,
  app.activeDocument.name + "-" + app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name + "-Wavelet",
  NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT,
  app.activeDocument.pixelAspectRatio,
  BitsPerChannelType.SIXTEEN
);

Thx, but no difference, I think.

I see the Select All ants and then it stops, while it should be making a new document...

I don't even get an error, it just stops at the selection...

 

Mind you, I'm in Win 7 still and using the latest mentioned version (w many bugs, IMO).

And who knows I have some nerdy setting that prevents it working somehow...

Good to know it will work on Win 10 then (unless you are on a Mac? 😉 )

In that case, you have kinda solved it, as far as I'm concerned. Thanks! 🙂

Are you using ESTK or Visual Studio Code to troubleshoot the code? 

 

Edit: I work on Mac, by the way.

I just use Extend Script Tookit and old brain... 😉

 

I don't even know if you can use that to go through the code line by line?

I've used such luxury in the old days but for the stuff I'm actually programming in my latter years, I've hardly wondered if it's available, cos I usually don't need it.

It might be dead simple and I'd beat myself to death... 😜

I just save the script and run it inside PS, as I've not been very aware you could do this in EST.

Let me look into that for a sec 🙂

 

A screenschot in PS would simply be: no changes except Select All ants...

It's like the New Document is prevented.

I've explicitly made sure the updated script is loaded...

Yesterday I had a weird thing where and action/script would once work correctly, then wrongly, then correctly, etc.

Yet, I'm not ready to ditch my Prefs file yet... 😛

Sorry, I've uploaded the wrong screenshot for the 2nd one. It was also like the last one.

I think the difference was maybe cos I forgot to deselect inside PS before testing again.

The script works without errors on win7 and PS21.2.2.
You may have made a mistake while copying the script text.

Good to know, thx.

 

I am both meticulous *and* making many mistakes... 😉

I think I've literally retyped the commas now and everything 🙂

I'm using the original code with (or without) c.p's correction.  Nothing helps...

In PS 2019 it worked with anyhing.

I'm usually using fairly small pics in RGB 8-bit.

use this code of function (added try-catch)

function generateWavelets( levelCount, addExtraControls ) 
    {
    try {
        levelCount = parseInt( levelCount, 10 );
        var activeLayer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;
    
        app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll();
    
        try { app.activeDocument.selection.copy( true ); }
        catch (e) {
            try { app.activeDocument.selection.copy(); }
            catch (e) { alert(e); }
        }
    
        var waveletDoc = app.documents.add(
            app.activeDocument.width,
            app.activeDocument.height,
            app.activeDocument.resolution,
            app.activeDocument.name + "-" + activeLayer.name + "-Wavelet",
            NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT,
            app.activeDocument.pixelAspectRatio,
            BitsPerChannelType.SIXTEEN
            );
    
        try { app.activeDocument.suspendHistory("Wavelet", "generateDocWavelets( waveletDoc, levelCount, addExtraControls )") }
        catch(e) { alert(e); } 
        }
    catch(e) { alert(e); }

catch(e) { alert(e); }  

 

on the

catch (e) { alert(e.message + "\n\nline: " + e.line + "\n\n" + e.source.split("\n")[e.line-1].replace(/^\s+/g, "")); }

Do you think some panels could interfere that hack stuff and try to watch over things that are happening?

I'm lazy so far to try with those removed. I may have one or two...

That does it!! 🙂

 

You BIN there, done that? 😉

 

I usually don't have it set to that, but some of my scripts change it, and maybe interrupting one left it so.

I know how to add and reset that stuff via the script.

 

WOW!  Great catch and TYVM 🙂
