I used to use the iOpener plug-in to read a folder of images and present each image to me to edit/retouch. When I was done with the image, I clicked a button on a panel and it saved the resulting PSD in a designated destination folder and automagically retrieved the next image in the folder. Do this repeatedly until all images in the folder were processed. Fundy had a nice tool (Batch Editor), but it is end-of-life and not being offered anymore and iOpener seems to no longer be maintained. Target app is Photoshop CS6 / CC.
I want to build a simple set of scripts, embedded in a panel, that would let me replicate the basic function of these tools. Open an image from a selected folder. Let me do all the edits I want. Then save the result to a designated destination folder (or just a Save and Close), the serve up the next image.
I have many years of software development in other languages, but relatively new to adobe scripting so am looking for example code to get me heading the right direction. Also doesn't hurt to know whether something like this already exists and I can just use it.
Thanks!
