Re: File information for smart objects

I’ve used this to try and find a distinction between embedded and linked SO, but so far no luck.

if (app.documents.length > 0) {

var ref = new ActionReference();

ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );

var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);

checkDesc2(layerDesc);

var soDesc = layerDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('smartObject'));

var placedDesc = soDesc.getEnumerationValue(stringIDToTypeID('placed'));

checkDesc2 (soDesc);

};

//////

////// based on code by michael l hale //////

function checkDesc2 (theDesc) {

var c = theDesc.count;

var str = '';

for(var i=0;i<c;i++){ //enumerate descriptor's keys

  str = str + 'Key '+i+' = '+typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getKey(i))+': '+theDesc.getType(theDesc.getKey(i))+'\n'+getValues (theDesc, i)+'\n';

  };

alert("desc\n\n"+str);

};

////// check //////

function getValues (theDesc, theNumber) {

switch (theDesc.getType(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))) {

Hopefully Mike Hale will drop by, he might have more to contribute.
