Photoshop Javascript

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 http://mlkdesign.online.fr/tutorials/scripting/scripting1.html

Run Actions according to folder names (wip)

Hadn't coded PS for a while goddam it's ugly. Some code stolen from the web, can't remember who to credit, sorry.

alert(getAllActions());

var folder = Folder.selectDialog("Folder To Process")
loop = 1
if(folder){
  while(loop == 1){
    files = folder.getFiles();
    for(item in files){
      if (files[item] instanceof File ){
        if(files[item].name.indexOf("kill") != -1){
          loop = 0;
        }
      }else{
        //is folder
        subfolder = new Folder(files[item])
        folderName = files[item].name
        subfiles =  subfolder.getFiles();
      
        if(subfiles.length > 0){
          for(item in subfiles){
          if (files[item] instanceof File ){

            }
          }
          alert(folderName+' '+subfiles)
        }

Launch an action using the name of the current document

Save as .jsx and launch from File>Script in photoshop

/* 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');

All documents to current document

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;

Incremental Save

// 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
