If Path named "" exists

[trondwa]

Hi, I have quite a big workflow going with photoshop actions doing selective adjustments on files based on paths. However I run into problems when the path with the specific name does not exist. Is it possible to make a script looking for the existence of a path named "stone" and then execute an action if the condition is met, if not, do nothing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Bonjour

You can use the " try catch " method !

This by exemple

Code: Select all

var x=prompt("Enter a number between 0 and 10:","");

try

  {

  if(x>10)

    {

    throw "Err1";

    }

  else if(x<0)

    {

    throw "Err2";

    }

  else if(isNaN(x))

    {

    throw "Err3";

    }

  }

catch(er)

  {

  if(er=="Err1")

    {

    alert("Error! The value is too high");

    }

  if(er=="Err2")

    {

    alert("Error! The value is too low");

    }

  if(er=="Err3")

    {

    alert("Error! The value is not a number");

    }

  }

Try this:

Code: Select all

try {

	var aDoc = app.activeDocument;

	var allPathItems = aDoc.pathItems;

	var aPath = aDoc.pathItems.getByName("stone");

	// alert('The pathItem: '+aPath.name+' was found');

	// do whatever you want

	} catch(e) {

		// alert(e.message+': '+e.line);

		// do nothing

}
