Disable Snap to as a script? then enable

Mcquiff · Post by **Mcquiff** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 10:22 am

I need to add this to script so that I can adjust some guidelines without having to go to the menu to disable or use Ctrl button.

Then another script to enable.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Matt

Are you talking about the Preferences?

Have you tested whether it produces AM code with ScriptingListener.plugin?

I tried that and nothing happens.

I have a script that draws a few guidelines then I want the user to adjust them, but I want to make sure they don't snap at all.

Code: Select allapp.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("snap"))

Though so far I have not been able to have a Script verify whether the feature is on or off.

'Yes appears to just toggle it from on to off and then vice versa
Is it possible to check the state if ticked or not?
Still helpful nonetheless Thanks.

Interesting problem, but I have not been successful in retrieving the current state/value/… of the menu item.
Maybe someone else has more insight.

I had this working ok as I runs script that disables it. and then I run another script that then re enables it.

However if the last thing you did was to disable it, and you exit photoshop, the next time you open it, it remembers it. like rulers and grids works.

So need to definitely find a way to check if it is ticked or not.

Maybe you should start a new thread to attract additional attention.
