I get the error as you do and I get the _alert(e) dialog when adding in the .NO option. No crash. Can you add in logging of the original layer numbers and what you are sending to resize and transform? Does this crash or hang? Does this happen on all layer dimensions? Which version of Photoshop are you running? 19.1.5? Only Mac has the problem or did you try a windows machine? I'm on windows10  and I also tried my mac with no errors. I just did a new document with a single layer. Unless I run on a background layer I'm not able to reproduce the dialog or get the crash/hang.

Have you tried reinstalling them? Most plugin developers copy the plugin into the Plug-Ins folder for each version of Photoshop. You could look for them in your old install and copy them to your new install but it is best if you re run the installer. ... View more

You probably have a background only document. Photoshop treats this kind of document special. In this case look at the targetCompositeChannels. We call it a simple document internally and as you have seen it reports NO layers. If you double click the "Background" text in the layers panel and give the layer a name you have now created a document with one layer. But that means no layers as you have one layer. So you need a document with more than one to get "layers" to have something besides NULL. Check out the PoorMans example and how it deals with this situation. Recap: Test with a "Background" only. Test with a layer. Test with a "Background and a layer. Test with multiple layers. ... View more

Unfortunately, printing is not very scriptable as the setup is unique for every machine + printer combination. If you manually print from the UI and then print from your script, does that work? Hopefully it does and you can capture the ScriptListener output as Kukurykus ​​has above and use that in your script in the future. You will have to redo that for each printer you attach or if you change your settings manually. ... View more

What is the original size and what is your target size? Here are two JavaScript versions. One makes a 100x100 transform on a 103x103 layer. The other makes a 100x100 transform on a 102x102 layer. Note the offset is needed on the “odd” bounds change. Also note that mine are using percentages to transform and not pixels. I think the key is “Am I landing on ½ pixel. If so, I need to adjust accordingly.” // 102x102 to 100x100 no offset needed as it is even var idtransform = stringIDToTypeID( "transform" );     var desc532 = new ActionDescriptor();     var idnull = stringIDToTypeID( "null" );         var ref136 = new ActionReference();         var idlayer = stringIDToTypeID( "layer" );         var idordinal = stringIDToTypeID( "ordinal" );         var idtargetEnum = stringIDToTypeID( "targetEnum" ); ref136.putEnumerated( idlayer, idordinal, idtargetEnum );     desc532.putReference( idnull, ref136 );     var idfreeTransformCenterState = stringIDToTypeID( "freeTransformCenterState" );     var idquadCenterState = stringIDToTypeID( "quadCenterState" );     var idQCSAverage = stringIDToTypeID( "QCSAverage" );     desc532.putEnumerated( idfreeTransformCenterState, idquadCenterState, idQCSAverage );     var idoffset = stringIDToTypeID( "offset" );         var desc533 = new ActionDescriptor();         var idhorizontal = stringIDToTypeID( "horizontal" );         var idpixelsUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "pixelsUnit" ); desc533.putUnitDouble( idhorizontal, idpixelsUnit, 0.000000 );         var idvertical = stringIDToTypeID( "vertical" );         var idpixelsUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "pixelsUnit" ); desc533.putUnitDouble( idvertical, idpixelsUnit, 0.000000 );     var idoffset = stringIDToTypeID( "offset" );     desc532.putObject( idoffset, idoffset, desc533 );     var idwidth = stringIDToTypeID( "width" );     var idpercentUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "percentUnit" );     desc532.putUnitDouble( idwidth, idpercentUnit, 98.039216 );     var idheight = stringIDToTypeID( "height" );     var idpercentUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "percentUnit" );     desc532.putUnitDouble( idheight, idpercentUnit, 98.039216 );     var idinterfaceIconFrameDimmed = stringIDToTypeID( "interfaceIconFrameDimmed" );     var idinterpolationType = stringIDToTypeID( "interpolationType" );     var idbicubic = stringIDToTypeID( "bicubic" );     desc532.putEnumerated( idinterfaceIconFrameDimmed, idinterpolationType, idbicubic ); executeAction( idtransform, desc532, DialogModes.NO ); // this will translate a 103x103 to 100x100 var idtransform = stringIDToTypeID( "transform" );     var desc506 = new ActionDescriptor();     var idnull = stringIDToTypeID( "null" );         var ref128 = new ActionReference();         var idlayer = stringIDToTypeID( "layer" );         var idordinal = stringIDToTypeID( "ordinal" );         var idtargetEnum = stringIDToTypeID( "targetEnum" ); ref128.putEnumerated( idlayer, idordinal, idtargetEnum );     desc506.putReference( idnull, ref128 );     var idfreeTransformCenterState = stringIDToTypeID( "freeTransformCenterState" );     var idquadCenterState = stringIDToTypeID( "quadCenterState" );     var idQCSAverage = stringIDToTypeID( "QCSAverage" );     desc506.putEnumerated( idfreeTransformCenterState, idquadCenterState, idQCSAverage );     var idoffset = stringIDToTypeID( "offset" );         var desc507 = new ActionDescriptor();         var idhorizontal = stringIDToTypeID( "horizontal" );         var idpixelsUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "pixelsUnit" ); desc507.putUnitDouble( idhorizontal, idpixelsUnit, 0.500000 );         var idvertical = stringIDToTypeID( "vertical" );         var idpixelsUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "pixelsUnit" ); desc507.putUnitDouble( idvertical, idpixelsUnit, 0.500000 );     var idoffset = stringIDToTypeID( "offset" );     desc506.putObject( idoffset, idoffset, desc507 );     var idwidth = stringIDToTypeID( "width" );     var idpercentUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "percentUnit" );     desc506.putUnitDouble( idwidth, idpercentUnit, 97.087379 );     var idheight = stringIDToTypeID( "height" );     var idpercentUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "percentUnit" );     desc506.putUnitDouble( idheight, idpercentUnit, 97.087379 );     var idinterfaceIconFrameDimmed = stringIDToTypeID( "interfaceIconFrameDimmed" );     var idinterpolationType = stringIDToTypeID( "interpolationType" );     var idbicubic = stringIDToTypeID( "bicubic" );     desc506.putEnumerated( idinterfaceIconFrameDimmed, idinterpolationType, idbicubic ); executeAction( idtransform, desc506, DialogModes.NO ); ...
