Didn't I see a reference somewhere to something that would convert an action to a script?? I can't find it... If it exists, will someone pls point me in the right direction? Cheers

I've just run a really quick test on this - the javascript output great, but when I run the resulting script I'm having an issue with the step that used to do a warp - the action allows the user to adjust the warping grid before it continues...

The resulting javascript for the step is:

function step8(enabled, withDialog) {
if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)
return;
var dialogMode = (withDialog ? DialogModes.ALL : DialogModes.NO);
var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref1 = new ActionReference();
ref1.putEnumerated(cTID('Mn '), cTID('MnIt'), cTID('warp'));
desc1.putReference(cTID('null'), ref1);
executeAction(cTID('slct'), desc1, dialogMode);
};

The error I'm gettings is: "<unknown> menu item is not currently available"

Any ideas why?

PS is in a state when that step executes that doing a Warp is not possible. It's hard to tell why without more info.

Sorry but it's not clear to me what script you want help with.

The code posted by myranalis is a function that doesn't work by itself. It needs other code to make sure something it active, visible, etc. or the function fails.
