Check PS Version Prior To Running Script?

[Paul MR]

The problem is not CS6 events, the main function should not run at all, you still need to study the example.

Below is a simple test script that makes several layers and merges them. I added the code to check for PS version. I changed "main" to "TestScript" as this is the function. What am I missing here? Obviously something as it doesn't stop the script from running in PS versions prior to 12 - CS5. Thanks!


Code: Select allcTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
sTID = function(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };

if(app.version.match(/\d+/) <12){
alert("You need Photoshop CS5 or above to run this script!");
}else{
    TestScript();
}
function TestScript(){
    alert("Hi you are running Photoshop CS5 or above");
}

function TestScript() {
  // Make
  function step1(enabled, withDialog) {
    if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)
      return;
    var dialogMode = (withDialog ? DialogModes.ALL : DialogModes.NO);
    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc2.putString(cTID('Nm  '), "Test Document");
    desc2.putClass(cTID('Md  '), sTID("RGBColorMode"));
    desc2.putUnitDouble(cTID('Wdth'), cTID('#Rlt'), 576);
    desc2.putUnitDouble(cTID('Hght'), cTID('#Rlt'), 576);
    desc2.putUnitDouble(cTID('Rslt'), cTID('#Rsl'), 300);
    desc2.putDouble(sTID("pixelScaleFactor"), 1);
    desc2.putEnumerated(cTID('Fl  '), cTID('Fl  '), cTID('Trns'));
    desc2.putInteger(cTID('Dpth'), 8);
    desc2.putString(sTID("profile"), "none");
    desc1.putObject(cTID('Nw  '), cTID('Dcmn'), desc2);
    executeAction(cTID('Mk  '), desc1, dialogMode);

Just remove the last line with the call to TestScript.main(); and you should be fine.

Thank you! That did it. Works perfectly. I would have never thought of that.
