Bridge to create thumbnails from web application

Mar 21, 2012 1:43 AM

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for a solution to create thumbnails on my web application server (eps, ai, psd.. files).

Did you think that it a good idea (and possible) to use Bridge on a server (I have a licnese for InDesign server) to generate thumbnails with a jsx script ?

 

Thanks,

Cedric

    I have no idea about using Bridge on a server, but here is an example of creating thumbnails.

    This example should be run from ExtendScript Toolkit, it will generate thumbnails for all (that it can)  filetypes in the selected folder.

     

     

    #target bridge
var files = app.document.visibleThumbnails; 
for(var a in files){
    if(files[a].type == "file"){
    var Thumb = new Thumbnail(files[a]);
    var orientation = Thumb.rotation;
    app.synchronousMode = true; 
    var bm = Thumb.core.thumbnail.thumbnail;
    app.synchronousMode = false;
    if(bm.width <1) continue;
    bm = bm.rotate(orientation);
    Name = decodeURI(Thumb.spec.name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
    var target = new File(app.document.presentationPath + "/Thumb-" + Name + ".jpg" );
    bm.exportTo(target);
        }
}
