Save for Web Metadata Scripting

[AG_Ps_100]

Hello everyone,

I have this script to save for web (for JPG)

I want to add in my script the line where I can choose the different Metadata options (there are 5 options).

If it can be done without ScriptListener it's even better.

here is my script:

var Name = app.activeDocument.name; 
if (Name.indexOf(".") != -1 ) Name=Name.substr(0,Name.lastIndexOf("."));
filePath = app.activeDocument.path + '/' + Name + '.jpg';                    //filePath has also the name in it and also the extension
var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
options.quality = 50;
options.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
options.optimized = true;
var doc = app.activeDocument
doc.exportDocument(File(filePath),ExportType.SAVEFORWEB,options);

AFAIK this is one of the black holes in DOM code, so script listener is the only option that I am aware of.

Oh ok thank you.

Do you have by chance an already made ScriptListener lines so i can add to my script?

No, you could search the forums...

Here is a screenshot comparing ALL metadata to NO metadata, with differences highlighted. I have not tried plugging the code in or running it through Clean SL first, so more lines of code than the two shown below may be required.

it works perfectly

using ScriptListener isn't all bad
