Script for renaming selected shape layer items

Mar 25, 2012 3:06 PM

Does anyone know if such a script exists?

 

That is to say, a script that renames the selected sub-items of a shape layer (paths, groups, shape generators etc).

 

Am aware there's already scripts to rename selected layers and layer masks. Have attempted to rewrite these to deal with shape layer items, but to no avail.

 

Many thanks

    I was able to rename them using these:

    "Path 1"

    app.project.item(1).layer("Shape Layer 1").property("ADBE Root Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Group").property("ADBE Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Shape - Group").name = "MY NEW PATH NAME";

     

    "Shape 1"

    app.project.item(1).layer("Shape Layer 1").property("ADBE Root Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Group").property("ADBE Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Graphic - Stroke").name = "MY SHAPE NAME";

     

    "Fill 1"

    app.project.item(1).layer("Shape Layer 1").property("ADBE Root Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Group").property("ADBE Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Graphic - Fill").name = "MY FILL NAME";

     

    "Group 1"

    app.project.item(1).layer("Shape Layer 1").property("ADBE Root Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Group").property("ADBE Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Group").name = "MY GROUP 1 NAME";

    This will help you out a lot when trying to find the actual property paths for Expressions and Scripts.
