New Photoshop export script.

tonyc

Yeah.

I guess I could put another checkbox in the dialog to revert to the normal behaviour? (new behaviour default off?)

🙂

Pharan

Good call. I like it.

(I learned how to set the ruler origin just now. And since you mention it in the checkbox, people can naturally check what that is and how to set it to take advantage of the feature.)

Søren

Good stuff 🙂 I'll take a look at it later and if I like it with the rulers I might include it in the official script if you're ok with that?

tonyc

Yeah no worries.

EDIT:

Added option to specify export directory name. Again.. Use it if you want. 🙂

Pharan

This is also a good feature. 😃

Hello guys!

Today I noticed that when I uncheck "Ignore hidden layers" in the photoshop scrip it doesn't stop ignoring them. Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Søren

Haven't had time to look into the script yet.
If there are any problems with ignoring layers I'll get that fixed as well.

Hello.. I've updated the main post with my latest version.

I found the ignore layer bug and fixed it.

The latest version checks if the layergroup / folder name in Photoshop has a "-NOSKIN" tag in it and doesn't create a skin for that layergroup / folder. It's handy for keeping your Photoshop files in order and not having millions of layers in the root of the doc.

Also, the script will now remember what your options were last time round and use those.

Use it if you want.

Enjoy!

Thanks so much for you work on this, tonyc! It's a huge help!

-NOSKIN tag?

-NOSKIN tag?

Aye, just include the string -NOSKIN (minus no skin) on the folder name in your Photoshop project and the layers within won't be made into skins.

e.g. I have the layers "leftarm" and "rightarm" in the folder "arms-NOSKIN". The slots "leftarm" and "rightarm" are exported to the "default:" skin instead of "arms:" because of the -NOSKIN tag. I haven't fully tested skins inside -NOSKIN folders yet so BEWARE! :o

Søren

Cool that you keep updating it 🙂 Not completely sold on the -NOSKIN tag yet though. I would love to update the script for Adobe CC and then use HTML5 to give it a proper looking panel and some buttons to add/remove tags etc. But unfortunately I don't think it will work in older versions of Photoshop then.

Pharan

This version gets an error "Error 1302: no such element" in Photoshop CS5 on line 27:

var exportSettings = app.getCustomOptions(settingsID);

I think the same code is also in line 363.

I don't think Photoshop CS5 can remember previous settings, or the API changed.

UPDATE:
I used the version with the try-catch block. Seems to work fine in CS5 now. Maybe that was the problem.

By the way, do you want to put this on GitHub as a GIST?
https://gist.github.com/

So we can branch and fork and stuff and people can choose the version that works for them while we can still track changes and bugs?

Søren

Unfortunately Nate manages the git stuff, I'm sure he can put it up when he is back from vacation.

Hello,

any chance to get a working export script for Photoshop CS6?

Søren

The script works for CS6 that's what I wrote it for.

totoe33

Any chance to get this script. i tried the pasted one and its not working for me.
maybe i put it wrong into photoshop or give it a wrong extension.
thanks.

Søren

How is it not working for you ?

Shameless copy paste from http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/38461533

Scripts can run from any directory however they will not be listed if they are not in Photoshop scripts tree "presets\scripts path". In the Past I have install my Photoshop scripts in my own script directory tree and places a link to my script tree into Photoshop scripts tree. My scripts were then found and listed by Photoshop.

Then came Windows 7 64 Bit OS and Adobe produced two versions of Photoshop the 64 bit version and the 32 bit version and on Windows 7 there are two program path.
"Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" and also two Photoshop Paths
"Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)" and
"Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5"

The same Photoshop Scripts will most likly work in both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of Photoshop. I had always created a path "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Scripts" not an Adobe Folder and places a link into "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Presets\Scripts" When I tried that in Windows 7 and I placed a link to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Scripts" in both the 64 abd 32 bit Photoshop script trees path there was a problem with how the link worked. Though the link was correct when it was used from the 32 Bit Photoshop either Windows or Adobe wanted to use "Program Files (x86)" not "Program Files" so I had to copy my tree "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Scripts" into a secon tree "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Scripts" perhaps a single tree outside of programs files like "C:\Adobe Photoshop Scripts" would work some day I may try that. I do not like to co-mingle my stuff with Adobe's stuff.....

Nate

I've updated the script and will include it in the new launcher. The new features are great, thanks!

I'd like to, waiting for GitHub to support allowing an organization to create a Gist. 🙁 I created it under my user for now:

I have an idea：
Two guides can be location a point as root. It's would be better than ruler origin if you
