Hi.
My name is Patrick and I'm trying to do a little tweak to the "Export layers to files" script in PS 5.1 CS. I'm a bit of a programmer, but I'm a bloody newbie to PS scripting. Luckily for me the script does already most of what I'm trying to achieve, but I want to merge all the layers of a group before. So I tried to understand what the script does and ended in:
Code: Select allif ((dlgMain.pnlFileType.pnlOptions.grpPNG24Options.png24Trm.value == true)&&(png24Index == exportInfo.fileType)) { //transparancy checked?
if (activeDocument.activeLayer.isBackgroundLayer == false) { //is it anything but a background layer?
var aDuplicate = activeDocument.activeLayer.merge();
activeDocument.activeLayer = aDuplicate;
app.activeDocument.trim(TrimType.TRANSPARENT);
}
}
Sadly this doesn't work (though I think that this is the right spot). Could you please help me and tell me what is wrong here? As far as I understand is that the layer group is exported to a new document, then the document will be the "activeDocument" and then it should merge all the layers, trim the transparency away and export it to a file.
Thx for help guys!
