Rename layers toUpperCase()

[jeremybep]

Hello,

I've found this script here made by @Geppetto Luis :

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/change-layer-names-so-lowercase/td-p/9564258?page=1

But when i try to execute it in photoshop 2020, i've got an error :

error 1200 : internal error

-> docRef.activeLayer = docRef.layers

What i want to acheive is to do a sanity check on layer, 

rename layer.toUpperCase()

rename layer.replace(" ", "");

rename layer.replace(/^0+/g, "");

...

regards,

[Manan Joshi]

Try the following, the code you mentioned seems to have a type. The issue is not with what the script author wrote, when the forum migrated from the old platform to the new platform these issues crept in several code snippets throughout the forum

var layerLength = app.activeDocument.layers.length;
var docRef  = app.activeDocument;
for(i = 0; i < layerLength; i++){
   docRef.activeLayer = docRef.layers[i]
   var myName = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name;
   var newName = myName.toLowerCase();
   docRef.activeLayer.name = newName;
 }

Thank you @Manan Joshi !

I've just tick the correct answer to Stephen with the regex Part 😉

Here are the edits you requested (I believe) to the original script as "rescued" by Manan, however, it should be noted that even a locked Background "layer" will be promoted to a layer and made uppercase... Which may not be what you want?

var layerLength = app.activeDocument.layers.length;
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
for (i = 0; i < layerLength; i++) {
    docRef.activeLayer = docRef.layers[i];
    var myName = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name;
    var refinedName = myName.toUpperCase().replace(/ /g, '').replace(/^0+/g, '');
    docRef.activeLayer.name = refinedName;
}

Thank you,

Your welcome! I'm glad you don't care about the Background image "layer" being messed with, I couldn't figure out how to stop that happening in a global layer rename.

Wich background Layer messed ? no...all working good.

I've forced to rename in lowerCase the Background image "layer" and all good.

Maybe because i merge all group before ?

My script do a sanity check of psd file :

- remove all hidden layers
- merge all groups
- clean layer name (thats your part)
- group layers (thats part of Manan Joshi  help ) 

- convert to 16 bit depth file
- save file

here it is (if it help):

/*jslint vars: true, plusplus: true, devel: true, nomen: true, regexp: true, indent: 4, maxerr: 50 */
/*global $, Folder*/

function saveFile(){
  var documents = app.activeDocument;
  var docName = app.activeDocument.name;
  var docPath = app.activeDocument.path.fsName;
  psdSaveOptions = new PhotoshopSaveOptions();
  psdSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
  psdSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;
  psdSaveOptions.layers = true;
  psdSaveOptions.annotations = true;
  psdSaveOptions.spotColors = true;

  var dptFind = 'BGLO'
  var match = docName.match(new RegExp(dptFind, "g"));
  if (match){
    var switchBaseName = docName.replace('BGLO', 'BGCO');
    var getEp = docName.split('_')[1];
    var colorPsdSaveServer = 'C:\\path\\' + getEp + '\\to\\' + switchBaseName;
    var colorPsdSaveLocal = File(docPath + '\\' + switchBaseName);
    documents.saveAs(colorPsdSaveLocal, psdSaveOptions, false, Extension.LOWERCASE);
  }
  else{
    var switchBaseName = docName.split('.')[0] + '_CO.psd';
    var getEp = docName.split('_')[0];
    getEp = getEp.split('R')[1];
    var colorPsdSaveServer = 'C:\\path\\' + getEp + '\\to\\other\\' + switchBaseName;
    var colorPsdSaveLocal = File(docPath + '\\' + switchBaseName);
    documents.saveAs(colorPsdSaveLocal, psdSaveOptions, false, Extension.LOWERCASE);

			continue;
