It would be nice if someone could give this Script a look-over to see if I have overlooked something regarding either performance or logic.
It is an arrangement-script that attempts to arrange selected psd-, tif-, jpg- and pdf-files in lines within the rectangular bounds of a Selection or in relation to an open file’s dimensions.
Michael L Hale and Muppet Mark thankworthily provided help with getting images’ dimensions before placing them, which I think speeded up the Script’s performance considerably.
As for multi-page pdfs I used the easier way of opening them with a try-clause to get their page-number, because while some time ago I also received help from various posters regarding the evaluation pdf-pagecounts none of the methods seemed to be successful with all possible issues pdfs may provide.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
pfaffenbichler

script for arrangement of images
script for arrangement of images
Have found a source of mistakes already … as Placing is done relative to the screen-display I need to insert a »Fit on Screen«.
script for arrangement of images
Tried to run the script, but it would not go past getting the files. The dialog box came up, but I no files showed, so I could not select them.
As far as placing images, I've done a few contact sheet scripts and what I do is place the image then get the bounds of there the image is and then move it into place. This gets around PS placing an image relative to the screen.
