ad UPD) I have unsmart script too (in default settings reproduces deformation) but problem is when you are using layer comps or timeline. Because layerID is lost. And next problem is that after making it smart again you will create instance of something else. Content is not shared with not-unsmarted layers. So you need to replace content or relink to file in filesystem or to the file in cloud. And you also can't unsmart vector smart object (AI, SVG, PDF) and video layer. Or content might have indexed colors mode and parent document RGB mode or oposite. ... View more

r-bin interesting... it works for trapezoid but it failed with different shape. What is the source of this script? Is it yours? Is there reason for obfuscation?

I am not sure how Alipay works but e.g. on PayPal you have to enter numbers from credit card and PayPal remember it for all payments. On my website you can buy it via PayPal or you can enter number from credit card directly. So if your Alipay account is connected with credit card similar like PayPal then you can just enter the numbers. ... View more

If you are coding C++ things for Photoshop you can also code script support and from this source code you can create AM code. But we don't have a source code. So only possibility is to write and compile custom plugin with script support... read plugin binary and learn how script support looks in binary file and then search same pattern in Photoshop binaries. Which could violate the term of use. And this is not easy... I was able to read some enum lists in PS binaries but this is something else... it is used for human readable names in Actions panel and they could be also present in the localization file. Thumbnail sizes are not here because it is not recordable action therefore it doesn't need human readable description in action panel. Interesting fact... for Sketch somebody was able to get header files: Sketch-Headers/Headers at 267983e1ba8fa561c194339773ba8f21ecbd1f73 · abynim/Sketch-Headers · GitHub https://blog.magicsketch.io/undocumented-sketch-plugin-api-reference-642775b6476d And according to these headers I was able to use undocumented commands with success. I tried something similar with Photoshop, but from my point of view, I have got only headers for Photoshop UI, not for Photoshop class structure. Nothing useful, but maybe I didn't look properly. ...

This file: "C:\Users\Jarda\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Prefs.psp" The answer for message above: - we can set "copy names" with "set descriptor" action - this means that you can read descriptor, change it, put it back (set it) and that's all - but employees in Adobe must explicitly code support for set descriptor - so this value is Enum and if you want to use "set descriptor" action you should put Enum back - Enum has these keys: 1) property name (what it is in parent object) 2) what type of enum it is (e.g. predefined colors, predefined sizes,...) 3) one from these predefined values - you can set thumbnails sizes manually and then read their values and they are: "none", "small", "medium", "large" ...

This code sets "add copy to layer names" function setAddCopyToLayerNames (add){ var desc = new ActionDescriptor(); var ref = new ActionReference(); ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" ), stringIDToTypeID( "addCopyToLayerNames" ) ); ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "capp" ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) ); desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref ); desc.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID( "addCopyToLayerNames" ), add) executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "setd" ), desc, DialogModes.NO ); } setAddCopyToLayerNames (true); So code for layerThumbnails according code which can read value should look like this: var desc = new ActionDescriptor(); var ref = new ActionReference(); ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" ), stringIDToTypeID( "layerThumbnailSize" ) ); ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "capp" ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) ); desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref ); desc.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID( "layerThumbnailSize" ), stringIDToTypeID( "size" ),stringIDToTypeID( "none" )); executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "setd" ), desc, DialogModes.NO ); Anyway it doesn't work and it doesn't throw error either.

"Quick export as PNG" uses Connection SDK which is wrapped into Kevlar API which is wrapped into generator-core which has plugin generate assets and this plugin communicates with Chromium if this is export assets instead of quick export. This means that quick exports generator plugin sends request generator core which executes extend script and creates request for certain layers bitmap and this is sent via TCP protocol to generator core (maybe encrypted and on generator core side this is decrypted) and then it goes to generator plugin node.js process on localhost...
