ActualSize and FitPage

Skrippy · Post by **Skrippy** » Sat Dec 08, 2012 4:32 am

Ashamed to ask and probably missing basic knowledge, but I can't find any helpful reference on how to implement using MagnificationType.FITPAGE and MagnificationType.ACTUALSIZE on a document...

Script Listener doesn't seem to give anything, so what I hoped for is something like this:

Code: Select allvar srcDoc = app.activeDocument;
srcDoc.magnification = MagnificationType.FITPAGE;
or
Code: Select allsrcDoc.magnification[MagnificationType.FITPAGE];

Etc. No luck so far...

Bonjour

You can see HERE

and use Code: Select allvar options = new PresentationOptions;

Merci.

It's a hint I can't get working though...

Stuck with[?]:
Code: Select alloptions.magnification = MagnificationType.FITPAGE;

So I've gone to using actions from a script:
Code: Select allif ( imageX > 952 || imageY > 888 ) {
doAction("- fit on screen","helper actions");
}
else
{
doAction("- actual pixels","helper actions");
}

Are you wanting to make a presentation or are you just wanting to set the Active Document's view state…?

Just wanting to set the Active Document's view state...
I'm ok with what I have now, but useful to add for others or the future, if you know how?

I'm also wondering if I can "softcode" the dimensions for my "viewport"...?
The (imageX > 952 || imageY > 888) pixels is what I normally have free to view pics in.
Would be nice if it was not hardcoded.

Then see this previous thread it covers all the options available to photoshop…

Good hints. Thanks!

I expected these to work, but they give me an error "Numerical value expected"...

Code: Select allrunMenuItem( "ActP" ) ;
// or
runMenuItem( "FtOn" ) ;

function runMenuItem( item ) {
cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( cTID( "Mn " ), cTID( "MnIt" ), cTID( item ) );
desc.putReference( cTID( "null" ), ref );
executeAction( cTID( "slct" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
}

Two things. Unless you are using an old version of Photoshop you don't need that function. runMenuItem() has been an app method for the last few versions.

But either expects a menuID which is numeric. Try
Code: Select allrunMenuItem( charIDToTypeID("FtOn") );

charIDToTypeID converts a four char string into a number. In this case a number that is the menuID for Fit on Screen.

*Aaaargh* Thx!

I had just found another vintage solution:

Code: Select allchangeView( "FtOn");
// or changeView( "ActP"); etc.

function changeView( ID ){
try{
var id240 = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
var desc65 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id241 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref53 = new ActionReference();
var id242 = charIDToTypeID( "Mn " );
var id243 = charIDToTypeID( "MnIt" );
var id244 = charIDToTypeID( ID );
ref53.putEnumerated( id242, id243, id244 );
desc65.putReference( id241, ref53 );
executeAction( id240, desc65, DialogModes.NO );
}
catch(e){}
}

It's not working for the 3 latter ID's longer than 4 chars. Have these changed too?
