As i understand, the main problem is that the author wants to control not just the time of work, but the time of work on each open document separately (with the ability to switch between them) - I have not seen ready-made solutions for such tasks.
For myself, I wrote a simple VB.NET program that tracks work time by file modification date, shows the number of unprocessed files, work time on the current file, average processing time and planned completion time (it first analyzes the contents of the directory, and then simply counts time until one of the files is changed). However, it is also designed to work sequentially with files. And no logs 🙂

See @r-bin Script Events Listener topic to understand how and what events you can track.
Most of what you described is quite realistic - it is enough to select a certain set of notifications and compare them with the identifier of an open document - so you can understand something is happening with the document or not.
As for interaction with the operating system, this is already more difficult, but it is quite possible. Both Windows and Macos have their own scripting languages and various tools for receiving system notifications. You need to delve into these questions.

save selected layer name to Photoshop enviroment variables:
$.setenv ('layerName', activeDocument.activeLayer.name)
assign saved name to selected layer from enviroment variables:
activeDocument.activeLayer.name= $.getenv('layerName')
That is, you need to save both scripts to the photoshop presets/scripts folder. Record the first script call at the beginning of the first action - it will keep the current name. Record the second script at the end of the second action - it will restore it.

As a rule, the script does not need a clipboard. You can store the layer name in a variable and then assign it to another layer.
If you mean something else, please tell us more.

1. Does not affect the visibility of layers
2. Expands all groups, including empty ones
3. Restores the selection of layers
4. Fast as possible
5. Not compatible with old versions of PS (seemingly less CC 2017) due to the lack of properties 'hasBackgroundLayer' and 'targetLayersIDs' (can be adapted)

@Stephen Marsh, this is a recursive function. At the moment, saving the active layer and restoring the selection occurs every time it is called (for all nested groups), which seems redundant. You need to move these commands outside the function.
To save layer selection and restore later, I usually use this code:
var s2t = stringIDToTypeID;
// get selected layes count with layers IDs
(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('targetLayersIDs'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var sel = executeActionGet(r).getList(p);
// restore selection
if (sel.count) {
r = new ActionReference();
for (var i = 0; i < sel.count; i++) { r.putIdentifier(s2t('layer'), sel.getReference(i).getIdentifier()) }
(d = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(s2t('target'), r);
executeAction(s2t('select'), d, DialogModes.NO);
} else {
(r = new ActionReference()).putEnumerated(s2t('layer'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
(d = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(s2t('target'), r);
executeAction(s2t('selectNoLayers'), d, DialogModes.NO);
}

I can't check right now, but maybe the problem is that you don't specify the units for halfCanvas (your selCenterX and selCenterX are both have type 'px'), those something like:

Expands even empty groups.
openAllLayerSets(app.activeDocument);
function openAllLayerSets(parent) {
for (var setIndex = 0; setIndex < parent.layerSets.length; setIndex++) {
if (parent.layerSets[setIndex].layers.length) {
app.activeDocument.activeLayer = parent.layerSets[setIndex].layers[0];
openAllLayerSets(parent.layerSets[setIndex]);
} else {
parent.layerSets[setIndex].artLayers.add()
app.activeDocument.activeLayer = parent.layerSets[setIndex]
openAllLayerSets(parent.layerSets[setIndex]);
parent.layerSets[setIndex].layers[0].remove()
}
};
};

Agree with @Stephen Marsh. In scripts, such restrictions are not a problem. It is enough to get X,Y of any one point of the selection or object (top, bottom, right, left, center) and find the difference in X, Y between where this point should be after moving. These are relative move values that can be passed to the move function.

Why not? Just write a function to save the settings in XML and specify file to read/write. In this function, you also need to pass the settings that you want to save / read. You can do this with function arguments, with arrays or objects - here you are only limited by your imagination.

@Stephen Marsh good trick! I decided to check if it is possible to directly set the zoom and the position of the center of the image (i.e. if it is possible to make it work in any case, even with overscroll enabled). Maybe someone will need this code:
#target photoshop
var s2t = stringIDToTypeID,
zoom = 0.5;
(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('resolution'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var res = executeActionGet(r).getInteger(p);
(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('width'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var docW = executeActionGet(r).getDouble(p) * res / 72;
(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('height'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var docH = executeActionGet(r).getDouble(p) * res / 72;
(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('zoom'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
(d = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(s2t('null'), r);
(d1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putUnitDouble(s2t('zoom'), s2t('percentUnit'), zoom);
d.putObject(s2t('to'), p, d1);
executeAction(s2t('set'), d, DialogModes.NO);

There will certainly be errors. The algorithm will fail if the contrast between the wall or floor is low or if there are large objects on the wall or floor that are very different from the general background, however I hope that my code will allow you to correct most of the photos.

I do not know how to work with java script, but I have some ideas. If there are people here who understand this, tell me if it is realistic to implement, or am I mistaken)
By @Andrew Bold
Your ideas sound reasonable, but don't forget that we are limited by the runtime environment. Photoshop's scripting environment severely limits our ability to analyze images.
There are several ways to solve your problem, but all of them have some disadvantages and depend heavily on how the rest of the images will be similar to the samples you provided.
I follow this logic:
In order not to waste time on channel-by-channel processing, we translate the image into grayscale
We get two full-height strips with a width of 1 pixel on the left and right of the image
Save each strip to a separate raw file
Read the brightness of the pixels from these files
We assume that the composition of the rest of the shots is similar to your samples: 80-90% is the wall, the rest is the floor. We sum up the brightness of all the pixels in the strip and find the average. Since the wall takes up most of the image, the average brightness will always be closer to it, and the floor will be different.
Find the color difference of each pixel between the average brightness value of each strip and build a bit mask based on this (1 - the color is different, 0 - the color is not different)
Since the floor is always below, we count how many pixels from the bottom differ from the average (with an error margin of no more than 5 pixels in a row)
As a result, we get two points - left and right, find the angle between them and rotate the image to it
The script is not perfect, but it works well with the examples above.
var apl = new AM('application'),
doc = new AM('document'),
lr = new AM('layer'),
floorY = [];
const ERR_RATE = 5;
try {
if (apl.getProperty('numberOfDocuments')) {
var docRes = doc.getProperty('resolution'),

When I created the condition in the action, I left the "else play action" field blank.
Perhaps you specified some other action there. It is also possible that you have written everything in one action.
If that doesn't help, post a screenshot of your action panel with expanded commands.

It looks like you saved the code in some kind of inappropriate editor. On Windows, use notepad to create a text file, paste the code into it, then change the extension to jsx

This is not very convenient to do with a script, since you need to set the print settings specific to your device and save them.
You can do like this:
Set print options, print and write this command to action
Use any script that performs an action for each layer.
I wrote a simple batch processor for layers, you can use it:

It's great that you found a solution!
Everything is much simpler and here you can do without a script: just use the conditions in the actions:

You can write a script using notifications. Each time you switch to a new document, it will record its ID. Accordingly, having saved this data during the session, you can always restore the sequence of switching between documents. Closed documents can simply be skipped.
I wrote a script designed to be written to an action that allows you to remember a specific document and return to it later. Perhaps this will help you: How to change the order of open documents for an action?

There is no such command , but having access to information about the size of the work area, zoom, document size, offsets of the document borders from the work area, we can make such a selection using a script:
#target photoshop
s2t = stringIDToTypeID;
(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('resolution'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var res = executeActionGet(r).getInteger(p);
(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('width'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var docW = executeActionGet(r).getInteger(p) * res / 72;
(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('height'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var docH = executeActionGet(r).getInteger(p) * res / 72;
(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('viewTransform'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var viewTransform = executeActionGet(r).getList(p),
zoom = viewTransform.getDouble(0),
offsetLeft = viewTransform.getDouble(4),
offsetTop = viewTransform.getDouble(5);
(r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('viewInfo'));
r.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));
var activeView = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(p).getObjectValue(s2t('activeView')).getObjectValue(s2t('globalBounds')),
viewW = activeView.getDouble(s2t('right')) - activeView.getDouble(s2t('left')),
viewH = activeView.getDouble(s2t('bottom')) - activeView.getDouble(s2t('top'));
makeSelection(offsetTop < 0 ? 0 : offsetTop,
offsetLeft < 0 ? 0 : offsetLeft,
viewH * zoom + offsetTop > docH ? docH : viewH * zoom + offsetTop,
viewW * zoom + offsetLeft > docW ? docW : viewW * zoom + offsetLeft
)
function makeSelection(top, left, bottom, right) {
var d = new ActionDescriptor();
var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(s2t("channel"), s2t("selection"));
d.putReference(s2t("null"), r);
d1.putUnitDouble(s2t("top"), s2t("pixelsUnit"), top);
d1.putUnitDouble(s2t("left"), s2t("pixelsUnit"), left);
d1.putUnitDouble(s2t("bottom"), s2t("pixelsUnit"), bottom);
d1.putUnitDouble(s2t("right"), s2t("pixelsUnit"), right);
d.putObject(s2t("to"), s2t("rectangle"), d1);
executeAction(s2t("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);
}
The solution is not ideal, since Photoshop does not provide us information about the sizes of the service interface elements - rulers and scroll bars, and they fall into the selection zone, but in general the script does exactly what you asked.

We help you in this community completely free of charge.
The idea of recalculating coordinates for reflection is still just an idea. There are problems that are very difficult to solve. I'll keep that in mind, but I'm not sure if I can find the time to do it.
