Hi Team,
Kindly let me know how to find text overset available in psd file using javascript/script listener.
Thanks
Thanks!
I tried to follow up on the point text work-around.
// check if type layers in active document have overset text;
// 2021, use it at your own risk;
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var theCheck = checkForOversetText ();
alert ("layers with index "+theCheck.join(", ")+" contain overset text")
};
////// check for overset texts //////
function checkForOversetText () {
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charI
...

Hi,
Kindly Review below snaps.
Some texts are hidden under the text item.
i need to write to automation scripts thats helps to shown overset documents names.
Thanks

Thanks.
I seem to recall past discussion/s on the issue though I couldn’t find the thread/s.
If you cannot identify a property in the AM code checking the text, then converting to Point Type and checking if the text is unchanged (and undoing the conversion, naturally) would provide a work-around.
The Strings of texts with more than one line cannot be identical because the line-breaks and the hyphens in the Point Text are letters, too, but by comparing letter for letter one can »filter« them out and determine if overset text exists.
One could then do that with all type layers in a document.
@Kukurykus , @r-bin , @jazz-y , please forgive the intrusion but at current you are the ones whose names come to my mind easily when it comes to Photoshop Scripting advice on this Forum; do any of you have a better idea or an immediate way of determining overset text in a Type Layer?

I still don't understand what he wants 😉

I think he wants to determine (in bulk) which files contain Paragraph Type Text Layers with overset text (when the Type Layer's bounds are too smal to contain all the entered text).

I got it. Probably the 2 others you mentioned will help more as I saw them in action with this.

Thank you!
I had done a Forum search here but I didn’t find a solution, maybe I should have checked over on PS-Scripts

When from you're ACP? Months ago you weren't interested. What happened now you are?

I practically don't work with text. I know very little about it. You can try this way.
var y1 = activeDocument.activeLayer.bounds[3].value;
var h = activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.height;
activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.height = 2*h;
var y2 = activeDocument.activeLayer.bounds[3].value;
activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.height = h;
alert(y2-y1)
If the result y2-y1 is zero, then with a high probability we can say that all the text is visible.

Hi @c.pfaffenbichler
Is there a way to alert the artboard names instead of the layer index? Thanks in advance.

What good is the name? Do you want to »manually« identify the affected Layers in the Layers Panel afterwards?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to just select all affected Layers (for which the index is useful)?

Yes, that's right @c.pfaffenbichler. I need to manually identify the affected Layers in the artboards and make changes accordingly. Selecting all affected layers using index is fine but along with it alerting the name of the artboard would be really helpful in my use case.
