I understand that all the basic work has already been done, the only question is how to add the name of the file (layer, if it is imported as a smart object) in the text layer?   app.activeDocument.layers.getByName ("put here name of your text layer").textItem.contents = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name     ...

Photoshop does not give scripts access to image pixels. That is you can calculate the number of points either by indirect methods (they can be selected by color, but I don’t know the way how to divide the selection into separate objects), or save each layer as an image and give it to scripts / programs for processing outside of Photoshop. ...

I looked at the Jaroslav Bereza code and saw that it is possible to use a different approach, compatible with earlier versions of Photoshop, which may be of interest to the author of the topic. This can be briefly described by the following set of menu commands: Convert Smart Object to Linked file and save it in temp dir (if it has graphical content, that can be edited in the Photoshop environment, otherwise (if it is, for example, a vector file from AI), this command will be unavailable) -> open this file in Photoshop and work with its content as with a regular document -> close & save -> run "Embed linked" command in parent document  -> delete linked file   In this case, there will be no problems with the transformation and effects and at the same time we can control the contents of the smart object (without replacing it completely)   (I think that it is worth voicing any working solution, maybe it will be useful to someone) ...

In some cases using the action manager, you can edit the contents of a smart object without opening it (in particular, access the layers inside it) - unsmart script of  Jaroslav Bereza Also in the latest versions of Photoshop, a useful feature appeared - convert smart object to layers (a group is created in the document with the name of the smart object and its contents in the form of layers) - this can be done in your script in one line:   executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerConvertToLayers" ))   You can perform all necessary conversions and then re-save this group as a smart object:   executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "newPlacedLayer" ))   ...

I like 3D loot creator for extreme color correction. All created presets can be edited in the program and transferred to Photoshop through the color lookup option   A more accurate way is to use Adobe DNG Profile Editor (or ColorChecker Passport) with 24-patches color target to build profile of camera (targets are usually plastic, they will not get anything from water).  ...

In this case, I would like to ask, is it really necessary to open so many files at the same time? If you use a script to process them, maybe just write to get a list of files, divide it into parts (for example, 250 files) and process each part sequentially (performing purge all after each such fragment)? ...

Give it a try. In my case, this works. If I managed to open the required number of files at the same time and start to process them, then with the purge all command after saving the next file, there are no problems. If there is no such command, then I quickly get a message about disk full. ... View more

I often work with a large number of files, at the limit of the capabilities of RAM and the Photoshop swap file (for my computer). I can say for sure - despite the fact that purge all does not work as before, however, after executing this command, space is freed up inside the swap file (i.e., further work is possible, despite the fact that the disk space is taken)). ...

In fact, I re-read several times, but still did not understand the question to the end. I thought that the author needed some more complex solution - for example, I use the pos-keyboard to launch frequently used actions outside the context of operations currently loaded in the action panel. To do this, I record the action using the ScriptListener (or export it from the ATN using the xtools), clean up the code and call the script with hotkey from the pos keyboard. ... View more

The problem is that the batch processor operates on the basis of a previously compiled list of files from the directory you specified. There are 2 consequences from this fact: 1. if the file is processed, it is excluded from the list of unprocessed files and its reopening (along the same path) by the batch becomes impossible 2. if new files were added to the directory during processing, then the batch processor cannot add them to the processing list until you start it again   also said in help (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/processing-batch-files.html) Override Action “Open” Commands Ensures that the files you selected in the Batch command are processed, without opening the file you may have specified in the action's Open command. If the action contains an Open command that opens a saved file and you don't select this option, the Batch command opens and processes only the file you used to record the Open command (This occurs because the Batch command opens the file specified by the action after each of the files in the Batch source folder is opened. Because the most recently opened file is the one named in the action, the Batch command performs the action on that file, and none of the files in the Batch source folder are processed.) To use this option, the action must contain an Open command. Otherwise, the Batch command won't open the files you've selected for batch-processing. Selecting this option doesn't disregard everything in an Open command—only the choice of files to open. Deselect this option if the action was recorded to operate on an open file, or if the action contains Open commands for specific files that are required by the action.   could it be easier to make 2 separate launch of batch for different stages of processing? ...

The code of the event listener that you brought is not related to managing actions.   I think there are 2 options: a) save the set to disk as atn, load this atn again (at this moment all hotkeys will be automatically reset), delete source set from panel (look sample code and stdlib of xtools, there are examples of each of these actions) b) create a copy of each action inside the set, delete the original action (in this case, all actions will have a "copy" in the name, but hotkeys will disappear (the event listener can write the duplicate and delete menu commands, they must be applied to each action )   I’m sorry that without a code example, I’m not a good programmer to write a working solution in 5 minutes. Nevertheless, I think that both of these scenarios can be implemented. ... View more

Yes, I looked through examples of the xbytor and his stdlib, but I did not find methods to solve this problem.   In this moment, I changed the script operation algorithm - after starting the action, it evaluates the result of its execution: since the "stop" always throws an exception, I get the number of the command that stopped, if the name of the previous command is localize ("$$$ / Actions / Event / Stop "), then I remember its position and at the next start of the script I continue from this point. This is not exactly what I wanted, but it allows users to give a working solution. ...

The meaning of my script is that it searches and launches an action, depending on the name of the document / specific layer. That is, problems with hard-coded action names simply do not arise - they are determined dynamically during the script. If you run the script from the automation menu, it is executed outside the context of the action panel (that is, when the action is executed, the command cursor stops after the stop command and the user can continue the action with a hotkey or play button). However, in this case, I have to show the script interface every time so that users can specify the launch parameters they need.   To avoid displaying the interface, users write it to the action panel as a separate operation - in this case, Photoshop considers the action from which the script is run as “parent” in the action chain and, if there is a stop command (completely stopping execution), returns the cursor to the action from which the script was run. So far, I have recommended that users break down the actions into separate steps and not use the stop command. However, I am trying to find a solution to this problem. ... View more

That’s the problem: if the script is written by user as a command in the actions panel, batch cannot understand whether there was an error while executing the command or not (even if I took into account and processed this error inside the script) As an example, in video i call to the "example" command in the operation panel contains a call to the script "Source1.jsx", which contains obviously inoperative code that causes an error. Batch does not notice that the script was executed with an error and continues execution for each file ( stop for errors is enabled). Of course, I can handle this error inside the script, but this will not change the situation - the script will not be able to stop the batch until all files are opened.     Is there any way to stop the batch in such a situation? (i.e. shut down the script so that the batch understands that an error has occurred) ...

I figuratively. "registering" == automatically copy jsx to startup scripts folder  🙂    I just originally planned that the main script itself would generate jsx to add to the bridge menu and write it to the startup scripts folder, however, it encountered restrictions on access rights. It turns out that it is difficult to refuse to manually copy the script launch module by the user. I took this situation into account and in case of access error to the folder, I will offer the user to transfer jsx independently.   Thank you all for your advice! ... View more

I made a test script and quite successfully created a menu item that calls the main script with the parameters I need. In this part I have no questions. The main problem at the moment is how to register this script so that it automatically fits into the bridge menu (and is always there). I found only ready-made examples when the script is already registered and placed by Startup Scripts, but I did not find how to make this placement 🙂 I think that I’ll just make an offer to the user to start Photoshop from the administrator account so that my script can copy the initialization module into Startup Scripts. But this decision seems to me not the best ...   UPD   var ss= new Folder ( $.getenv ("APPDATA") + "/Adobe/Bridge CC 2019/Startup Scripts")   on windows i can put scripts here, but question - how to correctly build bridge version folder (Bridge CC 2019) if i changes ...
