not necessary to modify photoshop.js - just place the script that initializes the launch in \ Common Files \ Adobe \ Startup Scripts CC \ Adobe Photoshop \ There are no problems with manual copying, however, I wanted to automatically add the script to the menu - there are problems with access rights (the folder is writable only for administrators) for example, code var ss= new Folder ($.getenv ("COMMONPROGRAMFILES") + "/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/")
alert (ss.create()) alerts "false" if user not administrator

I have several scripts that work in Photoshop, but in some situations they get files from the bridge (via BridgeTalk ()). Everything works fine, but I would like to make it possible to call my script not only from Photoshop, but also from the Bridge menu (taking into account that the script has #target photoshop and located in the folder with Photoshop presets). I found several examples, but all of them involve either adding a menu item or using the startup folder bridge (I still can’t figure out how to access this directory from the script itself (win + macos) to copy some fragment that calls the script , or through # target bridge (the menu is added while the script is running until the bridge is restarted)). I am sure that someone was trying to solve the same problem, could you share ideas on how to do this better?

I thought about this way. Essentially the same as #include, but with the difference that the path to the file is set during the execution of the function. I just thought that if Photoshop could pass an ActionDescriptor as an argument when using events, then there is a native way to do the same 🙂 In any case, thank you all for your advice! I am sure that they will be useful not only to me. call_script1();
function call_script1()
{
var param = new Object();
param.x = 1;
param.y = "2";
param.z = [1, "2"];
#include script1.jsx
}

originally i called the second script through: function s2t(s) {return stringIDToTypeID(s)}
function t2s(t) {return typeIDToStringID(t)}
var pth = new File ("e:/_Output/test.jsx")
var desc = new ActionDescriptor()
desc.putPath( s2t ("javaScript"), pth)
desc.putString( s2t("javaScriptMessage"), "tried to put variables, objects, functions here" )
executeAction(s2t( "AdobeScriptAutomation Scripts" ), desc) i need to pass a number of parameters: integer, strings, booleans and an array of objects that describe the set of actions, for example structure of settings object: function initObj (s)
{
s.autoStart = true
s.allowContinue = true
s.saveMode = 0
s.lastSavePath = ""
s.fileFormat = 0
s.flatten = false
s.jpgQuality = 12
s.override = false
s.options = []
s.doneCounter = -1
s.continue = 0
} where s.options are: [{active:true, set:"test set", action:"test action 1", stop: false}, {active:false, set:"test set", action:"test action 2", stop: true}, {active:true, set:"test set", action:"test action 3", stop: false}] on advice JJMack now I call the script through executeAction (runtimeEventID, desc) (accordingly, I pre-generated a unique runtimeEventID, in desc I put ActionDescriptor into which I write all the variables beforehand (for ease of processing, I convert the s.options array to a string) - accordingly, in the header of the script that is running, each variable is also declared and there is a corresponding settings object in the script body. A little cumbersome, but quite functional)

Thanks for the advice! But I don’t like when there are a lot of files in a folder, besides I need to not only transfer, but also store variables - for this I use the "registry" of Photoshop and app.putCustomOptions 🙂🙂 The problem is that both scripts can work not only together, but also independently of each other. If you use a common set of variables, then some of them will change in cases where this is not necessary - this forces me to duplicate variables (a separate set of variables for self-contained work and a separate set for starting from the second script). The method proposed by JJMack is almost ideal for my case - the variables are transferred only for a specific instance of the script and you do not need to duplicate the variables or monitor their state since the main settings in the registry will not change.

Thank! I did not look very carefully at the Image Processor code - there really is a useful way to call another script by its identifier with parameter transfer (as if it had been called from the operation panel with pre-saved parameters). This is exactly what will help me solve my problem!

There are 2 scripts that can work both independently of each other, and together. To work together, they need to pass parameters to each other. Now I do it through app.putCustomOptions (but this is not very convenient).
Maybe it is possible to pass arguments when calling executeAction (AdobeScriptAutomation Scripts, desc) (since this is done, for example, by the Photoshop event subsystem)? I can write jsMs (javaScriptMessage) in the descriptor, but it may not be related to the arguments - I tried to put variables, objects, functions there, but the script of which I call with this jsMs does not see them in the arguments

Found that in getterDemo.jsx also also made each document active before receiving the references of its layers 😞 I decided to do an exhaustive search of documents as follows: function loopDocsByAM ()
{
var ref = new ActionReference()
ref.putProperty(s2t("property"), s2t("numberOfDocuments"))
ref.putEnumerated(s2t("application"), s2t("ordinal"), s2t("targetEnum"))
var len = executeActionGet(ref).getInteger(s2t("numberOfDocuments"))
for (var i =0; i < len; i++)
{
/* doing something useful */
selectPreviousDocument()
}
function selectPreviousDocument()
{
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putOffset( s2t( "document" ), -1);
desc.putReference( s2t( "null" ), ref );
executeAction( s2t( "select" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
}
function s2t(s) {return stringIDToTypeID(s)}
function t2s(t) {return typeIDToStringID(t)}
}

Adobe Action Manager. I'm used to calling through double A 🙂 In fact, if layers in another document were previously selected, then their referecnes can be obtained through targetLayers of the desired document. However, it’s still not nice to select all layers without switching to the document 😞 I’m trying to understand how xbytor receives layer descriptions from other documents in GetterDemo.lsx (it seems that it is implemented exactly as I need it).

Good afternoon! I am writing a script that looks for layers with certain characteristics among open documents.
Is there a way to get references to layers of an inactive document through AAM (now my script switches to the next document in advance, but for the user this mode of operation is not very comfortable).
There are a lot of documents (usually more than 20, in each ~ 50 layers) - the DOM makes it possible to access layers of inactive documents, but it works very slowly when you need to iterate over all layers.

Very strange situation. I managed to find out that in the latest version of Photoshop (when displaying documents as tabs), this code does not work: var r1 = new ActionReference (); var d1 = new ActionDescriptor (); r1.putIndex (stringIDToTypeID("document"), 1); d1 = executeActionGet (r1) but it (for some reason) starts to work if i try to get a specific property of the document, for example: var r1 = new ActionReference (); var d1 = new ActionDescriptor (); r1.putProperty (stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("title")); r1.putIndex (stringIDToTypeID("document"), 1); d1 = executeActionGet (r1) it seems to me like some kind of bug: I can’t get the Reference of the whole document, but I can consistently get ALL of its properties (if I specify them in advance through putProperty). anyway my problem is solved. but maybe it’s useful to someone else

A lot of documents are open in Photoshop, I need to go through all of them to get a certain property of the document (preferably without making each active, and not using the DOM (for example, to get an ID or name)). I am trying to use code like: var r = new ActionReference () var d = new ActionDescriptor () r.putIndex (stringIDToTypeID("document"), 1) // 1 - planned to iterate over the index in the loop d = executeActionGet (r) But it only works if the documents are open in separate windows. If they are opened as tabs - it does not work. What am I doing wrong and is there any way to solve this problem?

Hello! I modified your code, trying to preserve the styles of the text to the fullest extent (i.e., compare the size of the source text and the new one and either crop the style inside the line or supplement it with the last character of the line), but somewhere I made a mistake Photoshop did not accept the generated object. If not difficult, look at the problem. UPD: problem solved. I use one name for different objects

Thank you very much! Разберусь. Я начал писать в той логике, что нужно сначала определить все точки вхождения стилей, а затем уже разбираться на какое слово какой стиль попал. Ваш подход более логичный. У меня мало опыта работы с action manager, просто закопался в коде. Спасибо! В любом случае мне есть от чего оттолкнуться.

unfortunately (or fortunately) I don’t often visit this forum to know the native language of individual users 🙂
for example, the script cannot process this sample text normally, and instead of the output that gives in the preview window, the first (not second) word will be replaced. This is quite a rare case, but I'm looking for ways to get around it.

No, it's not a problem Script has a user interface in which the user with the help of various filters can break the text of the layer into separate words, change their position in the text, replace with other values, break into substrings, etc. (that is, it allows you to easily select any word of the line "Text Text Text"). The script can be written into an action and the user can apply it to text layers with the same type of structure. The problem is that I cannot control the source text and sometimes it contains repeated patterns of characters that cannot be properly processed using the “find and replace” function. (I apologize, I haven’t translated interface it into English yet, because haven’t finished the work)

The script should work silently - DialogModes.ALL does not fit. I roughly imagine how the styles are described and assigned to fragments of the text, just hoped that someone had already dealt with such a question and had a working code.

Hello! For the script to work, I need to analyze the names of the layers of the document. I get a list of all the layers through AM, then in a loop I sort them in array according to desc.getInteger (stringIDToTypeID ('layerKind')). The problem is that layerKind comes in the form of a numeric index and, in case I need to match a specific type of layer in AM with the type of a layer in DOM, and I need to understand what index it means. Is there description of the numeric 'layerKind' indexes that are available through AM?

I turned off all the extensions - it slightly accelerated the work. The previous version is still much faster. Interestingly, working with the raw files in the bridge has become terribly slow, while the same files in the same version of the camera and the raw opened via photoshop are processed very quickly. In the bridge, any action becomes 3-4 times slower. I tried to completely remove the application (without saving the settings) and reinstall it - no difference.
