@im_campos    Okay got it   Try this version v..1.5.3     [1.5.3] 2025-03-20     Fixed     - Error when active layer is locked or hidden     - Join HEX was not working when split was active     Added     - # tag toggle for HEX     - HEX is now all capitalized Preview dialog v1.5.3   When Join or add # is ON before you toggle Split Components, it will remember the choice made earlier. However, idid go so fas as to store this local file     ... View more

I   @im_campos @'m now actually trying to implement this   Though I made the choice not to join hex when split is in. This was causing to much issues and I needwd to make tons of catches in the script to get it working. It kept glitching out   So now when you toggle split, join hex hex gets disabled.   I've also added an option to add # and possibly to make it uppercase   Also working in that error when a layer is hidden or locked. Thought I had fixed that, but seems I did not ... View more

@im_campos    Hi there, well that already should work for that hash, I'd I remember correctly. I can check if I can add the capsulized feat. Would we add that as a global or a hex specific feat?   You can always do It manually, but yeah script is easier   Ps I thinks it's better to link a githubpage vs pasting the complete script here each time. Possible a another forum update can brick the script (like it did couple years back)   Current versions V1.5.1 https://github.com/schroef/Illustrator-Scripts/blob/master/renderSwatchLegend.jsx ...

Simply relinking has issues with layerComps. Only solution is showing that relink dialog and manually setting to correct LayerComp   Plus this script shows an error. Guess its due to missing link.  The script doesnt check if placedItem.file actually exists and thus throws an error  ... View more

So the script at its current state is for information only.    Perhaps for me, I could have a use for checking those bested layercomps in the smartobjects.    That's pretty usefull for making another version of my script ... View more

You mean from within the smart object or from the pad where smart object is in?   I have an extended version made myself for exporting layercomos from a main pad. Not with link pad actually.    Quite interesting idea actually. Currently photoshop can save different layercomps per pad and also allow you to use with layercomps system in the main pad.    Prior this function wasn't available, so I either relinked the same pad file and choose different layercomps in the smart object and then save a layercomps of that in the main pad   But since that new layercomps setting is available for best smart objects. I've run into issues where photoshop behaves weird, lags and other issues. If I remember well. I've turned it off and never used it again actually.   Other times when I need this for a say a mockup. I have a couple customized scripts for relink smart objects from a folder. Depending on the need, I have different versions of the script. One simply relinks, adjusts size to layermask and exports. The other actually relinks and downscales to original pad file. That way you can minimize cutoffs and other issues. Downside it's slower. It needs to open, relink, save, close, then export.  The first script, relinks,  scales, relinks.  Much faster ... View more

Well the issie arises when the filepath can't be found. I check xmpdata and it shows osx paths. I've been check scripts to possibly edit this and make my own script   You can simply linkna file, change its name and when illustrator ask you to relink. You relinknti that pad with changed filename, inguess that would show the same issue .   I'm currently now behind a computer to double check this brain fart a had.    How did you check this issue in your side actually? Did you also went from osx to windows?   I think the relinkndialog, should show a user if he wants to relink layercomos as well. That's the main issue. ... View more

Bumped into the isse again. I dont see any relevance to the COlor Profile. But who know, script and core code can do weird stuff. I believe both my docs were in RGB   EDIT just checked, my psd is RGB and ai is CMYK. Im gonna check what happens if i save it as RGB and reopen it   I believe i actually have scripts made for this to check PSD data and especially layercomp. I dont believe they are saved as name but have some IDdata. I also know that changing order of layercomp can cause issue. I think that order is also important for the linking method.   For me issue is this. I used to work on Both OSX and Windows and that causes issues with filepaths. When i relink them, illustrator seems to default to "Last Document State", its not honoring the linked layer comp state   EDIT 2 Okay change doc to RGB and relinked > replace all Doesnt work, i think the relink mechanism doesnt check for the layer visibility setting and simply uses "Use Photoshop Visibility"         ...

Not sure i follow your script, but how does this react to data merge? Data merge simply creates an output of all visible layers. So we could easily manually toggle each layer and then either export or do merge data set.  Can you explain how your script actually works in this case? Because if i understand, it simply changes a text in a layer and toggle layer on and off   EDIT i guess if you added data merge into the layer-visibilty toggle, then it would be useful. Perhaps im mixing things up. I guess your script can be simply run on each showing data set.   EDIT 2 I guess your script can work. I thought a bit more about it. When you do the data-merge. it will also do all the layers. So we can a merged document with all those layers. Then we rnu your script. I guess thats how it was meant., wasnt really clear at first ... View more

Instead of Adobe adding all nice and dany BS stuff. They should fix native core functionality. I find working, precise working, in Adobe Illustrator becoming a hustle. I cant seem to work perfect anymore using snapping and line-art preview mode, since the GPU preview mode is so hindered by issues and seeming bugs. Its easy to say, yeah work in CPU mode. But the issue is. They have striped the, old regular, CPU of so much functionality. That working in CPU mode is now sluggish and slow. Each time i try to align a vector point or anchor point, i need to double check in CPU mode because GPU modes simple will show this random offset. It happens on lines, corners all kind of items ...

@Disposition_Dev  I came to thread again. Because indeed if a compound was made by sub groups. We can loop through it again some how. I tried using code to expand style and trim pathfinder.
