Sorry, I supposed putting my reply in context would help
I wanted to modify the script in the previous post to run a function instead of an action. I was able to make it work, sort of. But I think that my issue is the function I have set up.
function newDocFromLayer(docName,layerName){ docName == undefined ? docName = "Untitled":docName; layerName == undefined ? layerName = activeDocument.activeLayer.name:layerName; var desc = new ActionDescriptor(); var ref = new ActionReference(); ref.putClass( charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" ) ); desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref ); desc.putString( charIDToTypeID( "Nm " ), docName ); var ref1 = new ActionReference(); ref1.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) ); desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "Usng" ), ref1 ); desc.putString( charIDToTypeID( "LyrN" ), layerName );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Mk " ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
};
//newDocFromLayer ();
#target photoshop
var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("select folder");
if (theFolder) {
var theFiles = theFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|eps|psd)$/i);
for (var m = 0; m < theFiles.length; m++) {
var thisFile = app.open(File(theFiles[m]));
newDocFromLayer ();
}
};
What I wanted to do was open each file in a folder, and then copy all of the layers from each file into a new doc. Right now, It's opening each file in the folder, ad copying a single layer group to a new doc.
let me know if you think I should start a new thread, I don't want to hijack this one!
