Hi,
I'm currently trying to make a couple of tweaks to this script, (the script currently grabs a number of files from a folder and replaces the content of a smart object and saves individual jpgs):
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var theName= myDocument.name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
var thePath = myDocument.path;
var theLayer = myDocument.activeLayer;
// jpg options;
var jpgopts = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgopts.embedProfile = true;
jpgopts.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgopts.matte = MatteType.NONE;
jpgopts.quality = 8;
// check if layer is smart object;
if (theLayer.kind != "LayerKind.SMARTOBJECT") {alert ("selected layer is not a smart object")}
else {
// select files;
if ($.os.search(/windows/i) != -1) {var theFiles = File.openDialog ("please select files", "*.psd;*.tif;*.jpg", true)}
else {var theFiles = File.openDialog ("please select files", getFiles, true)};
if (theFiles) {
// work through the array;
for (var m = 0; m < theFiles.length; m++) {
// replace smart object;
theLayer = replaceContents (theFiles[m], theLayer);
var theNewName = theFiles[m].name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
//save jpg;
myDocument.saveAs((new File(thePath+"/"+theName+"_"+theNewName+".jpg")),jpgopts,true);
}
}
}
};
////// get psds, tifs and jpgs from files //////
function getFiles (theFile) {
if (theFile.name.match(/\.(psd|tif|png)$/i) != null || theFile.constructor.name == "Folder") {
return true
};
};
////// replace contents //////
function replaceContents (newFile, theSO) {
app.activeDocument.activeLayer = theSO;
// =======================================================
var idplacedLayerReplaceContents = stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerReplaceContents" );
var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
desc3.putPath( idnull, new File( newFile ) );
var idPgNm = charIDToTypeID( "PgNm" );
desc3.putInteger( idPgNm, 1 );
executeAction( idplacedLayerReplaceContents, desc3, DialogModes.NO );
return app.activeDocument.activeLayer
};
I need to change the script to select a folder of images, rather than specific files using this:
var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("select folder");
if (theFolder) {
var theFiles = theFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|eps|psd)$/i)
};
However my lack of JS experience is showing and i can't figure out where to insert the new lines of code.
It would also be ideal if I could incorporate a way to open up a dialogue which would allow me to select a destination folder for the saved files.
Hope this makes sense!
Thanks in advance,
Rik
