[Mac] Linking to a folder placed on a NAS

[jaydoubleyou80]

I have a very similar allergy to Windows machines

I always take for granted that #target Photoshop is the first line, but haven't needed to bring it to the front, as that seems to happen automatically for me.

Hey - I realized that I did not post a proper answer.

The easiest fix I found to this was to place a temporary .psd-file in the folder I wanted to link to, then run this snippet;

Code: Select all

selectedfile = app.openDialog();
alert("Selected Location: \n" + selectedfile);

And just using whatever output I got from the above snippet (minus the temporary psd-file ofcourse). So an example usage (in Mac) would be;

Code: Select all

var psdname = "whatever";
var psdpath = new Folder ("/Photostudio/Resources/PSD");		//If it's on a server
//var psdpath = new Folder ("~/Desktop/");				//If it's on the desktop
var psdfile = new File(psdpath + "/" + psdname + ".psd");

I know that the above isn't pretty;)
