one step up in folder structure

[Bardioch]

Hey guy´s

Instead of putting my picture in the same folder as the current one, I would like to move it one step up the folder structure.

Is this possible???

Because i tried it with ../ as i found in some descriptions and nothing happend...

I hope somebody could help me out or give me a hint

Thx, Bardioch

Code: Select all

var thedoc=app.activeDocument;  

var docName = thedoc.name;      

if (docName.indexOf(".") != -1) {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}      

else {var basename = docName};         

try {var docPath = thedoc.path}      

catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};         

var folderString = docPath+"/FolderABC";       //Thats where i want to make one step up in folder structure

  

var theCopy = thedoc.duplicate(basename,false);   

OutFoldJPEG(folderString,basename,12,true,MatteType.NONE,Extension.LOWERCASE);  

theCopy.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);  

  

function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality,cProfile,MType,fCase){ 

    jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();  

    jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = cProfile;  

    jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;  

    jpgSaveOptions.matte = MType; 

    jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality;

    activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,fCase);  

}  

  

function OutFoldJPEG(docPath,dnme,jpegQuality,cProfile,MType,fCase){  

    var outfolder = new Folder(docPath)  

    if (outfolder.exists == false){  

         outfolder.create();  

         var saveFile = new File(outfolder + "/" + dnme);  

        SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality,cProfile,MType,fCase);}  

    else{  

        var saveFile = new File(outfolder + "/" + dnme);  

        SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality,cProfile,MType,fCase);}  

    }
