This is not updated frequently! I rarely use photoshop and even less script it.

If you want an old overview here's a tutorial I wrote a thousand years ago on scripting in Photoshop: https://www.kirupa.com/motiongraphics/ps_scripting.htm

===Launch an action using the name of the current document===
Save as .jsx and launch from File>Script in photoshop
<pre>
/* An example of how you can use the name of a document to launch an action that shares the same name
try it on an image called 'Gradient Map.jpg' -- since 'Gradient Map is a default action in the 'Default Actions' set it should work on a brand new photoshop
*/

//this gets the name of the current open (foremost document)
currentImage = app.activeDocument.name ;

//this removes the extension
currentImageName = currentImage.substring(0, currentImage.lastIndexOf('.')) || currentImage ;

//this calls an action with the name of the current image from the 'Default Actions' set (which you can of course change)
app.doAction( currentImageName ,'Default Actions');
</pre>

===All documents to current document===
http://i.imgur.com/9mtpo.png
<pre>
docs = app.documents;
ad= app.activeDocument;
for(i = 0;i<docs.length;i++){
if(docs[i]!=ad){
activeDocument = docs[i];
docs[i].selectAll;
docs[i].layers[0].copy();
activeDocument = ad;
ad.paste();
}
}
while(docs.length>1){
//hackish but works
for(i = 0;i<docs.length;i++){
if(docs[i]!=ad){
docs[i].close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
}
}
}
</pre>

===Incremental Save===
<pre>
// incrementalsave
//
// checks if there is a double underscore in filename, if not adds them starting at 0001
// else increments and saves as 24bit png (filename__####.png) in the doc's folder
//
//
// feel free to use & modify - mbernadat@gmail.com
//
//
// only tested on vista+cs3
