Personally, I feel that UXP’s batchPlay has made Photoshop more easily extendable programmatically. Scripting Listener, which had the impression of just recording and playing back, is now very easy to modify.   However, UXP definitely requires more knowledge and skills than ExtendScript. It takes a lot of energy to start the first step. ... View more

You need to call batchPlay, because flipCanvas does not seem to exist.   const photoshop = require('photoshop') ; const { app, core } = photoshop ; const { batchPlay } = photoshop.action ; // flip canvas direction const Direction = { 'HORIZONTAL': 'horizontal', 'VERTICAL': 'vertical' } ; /** * flip canvas * {Document} doc target document * {String} [direction] flip canvas direction. 'horizontal' if it is undefined */ const flipCanvas = async (doc, direction = Direction.HORIZONTAL) => { await batchPlay( [ { "_obj": "flip", "_target": [ { "_ref": "document", "_id": doc.id } ], "axis": { "_enum": "orientation", "_value": direction } } ], {} ) ; } ; const main = async () => { try { await core.executeAsModal( async (control) => { await flipCanvas(app.activeDocument, Direction.HORIZONTAL) ; }, {'commandName': 'Flip Canvas'} ) ; } catch(e) { await app.showAlert(e) ; } } ;   ...

It has already been solved, but I will explain.   UXP plugins can use fs by giving permissions, but UXP scripts cannot for security reasons. Instead, call localFileSystem. In this case, the user must select the file through a dialog. So I am surprised that you can read JSON using require.   const { localFileSystem } = require('uxp').storage ; const targetEntry = await localFileSystem.getFileForOpening({types: ['json']}) ; if(targetEntry == null) {return ;} const data = JSON.parse(await targetEntry.read()) ;   (Edit: UXP scripts could use the fs module without permissions.) ...

A special workaround for global color has been applied.   Since the method of getting which group a swatch belongs to may be a bit tricky, I’ll hold off on that for now. /** * @File duplicate selected swatches in document[0] to document[1] * @version 1.1.0 * @author sttk3.com * @copyright © 2023 sttk3.com */ (function() { if(app.documents.length < 2) {return ;} var docA = app.documents[0] ; // src var docB = app.documents[1] ; // dst var selectedSwatches = docA.swatches.getSelected() ; var swatchLength = selectedSwatches.length ; if(swatchLength <= 0) {return ;} for(var i = 0 ; i < swatchLength ; i++) { var currentSwatch = selectedSwatches[i] ; duplicateSwatch(currentSwatch, docB, false) ; } })() ; /** * duplicate a swacth to destination document * @Param {Swatch} targetSwatch swatch to duplicate * @Param {Document} dstDoc destination document * @Param {Boolean} [override] whether to overwrite swatch with the same name or not. false if default * @Return {Swatch} */ function duplicateSwatch(targetSwatch, dstDoc, override) { var swatchName = targetSwatch.name ; var swatchColor = targetSwatch.color ; alert(targetSwatch.parent) ; var isSpot = false ; if(swatchColor.constructor.name == 'SpotColor') { isSpot = true ; } var newSwatch ; try { newSwatch = dstDoc.swatches.getByName(swatchName) ; if(override) {newSwatch.color = swatchColor ;} } catch(e) { if(isSpot) { newSwatch = dstDoc.spots.add() ; newSwatch.color = swatchColor.spot.color ; newSwatch.colorType = swatchColor.spot.colorType ; } else { newSwatch = dstDoc.swatches.add() ; newSwatch.color = swatchColor ; } newSwatch.name = swatchName ; } return newSwatch ; } ...

Does that mean you want to duplicate the swatches in document A to document B? I don’t know how to do that directly, but you can substitute by creating swatches with the same name and color.     /** * duplicate selected swatches in document[0] to document[1] * 1.0.0 * sttk3.com * © 2023 sttk3.com */ (function() { if(app.documents.length < 2) {return ;} var docA = app.documents[0] ; // src var docB = app.documents[1] ; // dst var selectedSwatches = docA.swatches.getSelected() ; var swatchLength = selectedSwatches.length ; if(swatchLength <= 0) {return ;} for(var i = 0 ; i < swatchLength ; i++) { var currentSwatch = selectedSwatches[i] ; duplicateSwatch(currentSwatch, docB, false) ; } })() ; /** * duplicate a swacth to destination document * {Swatch} targetSwatch swatch to duplicate * {Document} dstDoc destination document * {Boolean} [override] whether to overwrite swatch with the same name or not. false if default * {Swatch} */ function duplicateSwatch(targetSwatch, dstDoc, override) { var swatchName = targetSwatch.name ; var swatchColor = targetSwatch.color ; var newSwatch ; try { newSwatch = dstDoc.swatches.getByName(swatchName) ; if(override) {newSwatch.color = swatchColor ;} } catch(e) { newSwatch = dstDoc.swatches.add() ; newSwatch.name = swatchName ; newSwatch.color = swatchColor ; } return newSwatch ; }       ...

There is a scripting API for the repeat grid, but probably no one has seen it working correctly. Just a null pointer waiting for you.
