Has anybody got a copy of this script or a similar version?

Wanting to run an action based on the filename

[Stephen_A_Marsh]

That's pretty easy without Siva's script, without any GUI:

Code: Select all

if (app.activeDocument.name == "Untitled-1") {
    app.doAction("Action 1", "Action Set 1");
} else {
    //app.doAction("Action 1", "Action Set 2");
}

A GUI is easy enough to add either using a simple filename prompt() or even scriptUI. Scripting the GUI selection of the action set and action is obviously harder.

I'll dig up the code on the script that you are asking for as I have it in an archive.

I have attached the .jsx script in .zip compressed format.

Your script is mostly correct but can be expanded for flexibility. Here’s an improved version with a GUI prompt using prompt() to allow user input and more structured logic:

Filename-Based Action Trigger in Photoshop (ExtendScript)

Code: Select all

var doc = app.activeDocument;  // Get the active document
var fileName = doc.name;       // Get the document's filename

// Check if the filename matches a condition
if (fileName == "Untitled-1") {
    app.doAction("Action 1", "Action Set 1");
} else {
    var userInput = prompt("Enter action set name:", "Action Set 2");
    if (userInput) {
        app.doAction("Action 1", userInput);
    }
}

The script checks the document name and runs "Action 1" from "Action Set 1" if the file is "Untitled-1".
Otherwise, it prompts the user to enter an action set name and executes "Action 1" from the chosen set.
