Object layer options script to improve...

Apr 13, 2012 12:08 PM

Hi guys, object layer options is a great idea, but some things drive me crazy

 

The process is very repetitive and I have to close and open at all times to repeat the process in another box image.

Is there a script that makes the object layer options more friendly?

 

Ex:

 

 

01 - Keep the 'Object layer options' always open

02 - Select a box image, change the layer, apply the "ok" without closing the 'Object layer options', do the same process in another box image,and so on like a palette.

 

 

Thank you guys,

    Scripts can't interact with dialog boxes.

    But they can perform the functions that you would use the dialog box to perform.

    So if your goal is to change object layer visiblity on a large number of images at once, then yes you can do that with a script.

     

    Please give a specific example of what you want to do.

    Hi John, basically the idea is to edit the boxes of images without having to open and close all the time the Object Layer Options.

     

    Thank you for your help.

     

    Best regards,

    That is not what I mean by a specific example. I want to hear something like: "I want to disable the Tree layer in all placed images on pages seven through twenty-one whose horizontal dimension is greater than 3 inches and less than 7 inches."

     

    As I said, scripts cannot interact with dialog boxes. They can control object attributes.

    You cannot force the dialog box to stay open while you edit. But you can do other things.

     

    Please give a specific example of your end goals. You can't accomplish them through the path you suggested, but you can probably accomplish them through another. But you'd need to tell us what they are.

    You could try to recreate the Layes Dialog with SciptUI and add the

    functions you want to that dialog. Not a trivial challenge, though.
