saveAs problem

[birnerseff]

Hi,

saving all open documents...

for(n = 0 ; n < app.documents.length ; n++)

{   // setup details:

    file = ...

     opts = new JPEGSaveOptions()

//  app,activeDocument = app.documents;

    app.documents.saveAs(file, opts)

}

Without setting the activeDocument (the commented line), this is just saving the current document several times

There are a few things that just don't work, unless you set the file you want to apply them to as the activeDocument. Looks like this is one of them. It is a big deal just to add a line making the next file active?

Hi,

it is not a big deal to add the line (once one knows about it), and it could become a habit to add it to multi-document scripts all the time, but it took me a while to figure out what the problem was

I presume it is a typo entering the code in this message, but if it has actually been copied, it is relevant:

//  app,activeDocument = app.documents;

Notice the comma after app … should be a period.
