script planning advise

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 20:29:44 GMT

I would like to ask for help in planning a Bridge script.

I am a beginner Photoshop and Bridge developer.

Script behavior:

Check for selected thumbnail

Open the selected thumbnail/s from Bridge in Photoshop.

Run a set of Photoshop actions

Save the changes to the file

Close the file

How do I approach these tasks programmatically?

What are the sequence of events to necessary to execute the script?

Applying photoshop scripting as a model I can come up with this sequence which can be scripted with the if else statement.

// check if thumbnail is selected

// if no thumbnail is selected send alert message

// if thumbnail is selected open in Photoshop

// run photoshop actions

// save changes to file

// close file

Will this approach work with a Bridge script?

How do I call the Photoshop application from Bridge?

Is it possible to modify this script to include subfolders?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 19:05:41 GMT

I have tried to do this with no luck. This script works great, but how to I make it apply to all sub-folders? Thanks for any suggestions.

#target bridge

if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {

descToTitle = MenuElement.create("command", "Keys to Title", "at the end of Tools");

}

descToTitle.onSelect = function () {

if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");

var thumb = app.document.selections;

for(var s in thumb){

if(thumb[s].hasMetadata){

var selectedFile = thumb[s].spec;

var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);

var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();

var Description = getArrayItems(XMPConst.NS_DC, "keywords");

myXmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title");

myXmp.appendArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title", Description, 0, XMPConst.ALIAS_TO_ALT_TEXT);

myXmp.setQualifier(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title[1]", "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", "lang", "x-default");

}

function getArrayItems(ns, prop){

var arrItem=[];

try{

var items = myXmp.countArrayItems(ns, prop);

for(var i = 1;i <= items;i++){

arrItem.push(myXmp.getArrayItem(ns, prop, i));

}

return arrItem;

}catch(e){alert(e +" Line: "+ e.line);}

}

if (myXmpFile.canPutXMP(myXmp)) {

myXmpFile.putXMP(myXmp);

myXmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);

} else {

xmpFile.closeFile();

}

complicated question: dialog box-batch processing script

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 08 Nov 2014 22:25:23 GMT

I am adapting the working script I found on this forum.

Script: Open files as layers in Photoshop

https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1313579

The goal of the adaptation is to include a javascript Folder dialog to set the save folder destination at run time and

use this folder destination for the remaining script batch processing functions.

Presently, the script loads a Bridge stack as Photoshop layers and saves the layered tiff using the Folder dialog.

The folder dialog is manifesting every time the script encounters a Bridge stack.

The question is what is the correct script logic to set the destination folder once at run time and keep this destination

folder for the stack batch processing.

#target bridge

var stacks = app.document.stacks;

var stackCount = stacks.length;

for(var s = 0;s<stackCount;s++){

var stackFiles = getStackFiles( stacks[s] );

if(stackFiles.length> 1){

var bt = new BridgeTalk;

bt.target = "photoshop";

var myScript = ("var ftn = " + psRemote.toSource() + "; ftn("+stackFiles.toSource()+");");

bt.body = myScript;

bt.send(5);

}

function getStackFiles( stack ){

var files = new Array();

for( var f = 0; f<stack.thumbnails.length;f++){

files.push(stack.thumbnails[f].spec);

}

return files;

};

function psRemote(stackFiles){

app.bringToFront();

var thisDoc = open(File(stackFiles[0]));

var Name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).slice(0,-4);

thisDoc.layers[0].name = decodeURI(Name);

for(var a = 1;a<stackFiles.length;a++){

open(File(stackFiles[a]));

Name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).slice(0,-4);

activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate(thisDoc);

app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

thisDoc.layers[0].name = Name;

}

var tifOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();

tifOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();

tifOptions.embedColorProfile = true;

tifOptions.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW;

tifOptions.alphaChannels = false;

tifOptions.byteOrder = ByteOrder.MACOS;

tifOptions.layers = true;

var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Select Folder");

if (theFolder) {

var myFile = new File( theFolder + "/" + app.activeDocument.name);

app.activeDocument.saveAs(myFile, tifOptions, true);

}

app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

}

Is there a way to capitalize a string using batch rename regex in Bridge?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:23:19 GMT

Has anyone had success using more advanced pieces of regex to properly rename strings? I want to Capitalize the 3rd back reference in a file name, and although I believe I'm following the proper way of doing so via Replacement Text Case Conversion, Bridge is just giving me a capital U instead. Please see what I am doing below. Additionally, does anyone know what flavor regex Bridge uses? Thanks!

Bridge script UI folder path

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:58:44 GMT

I am using a custom Bridge script to load stacks into photoshop layers.

Every time I run the script I have to change the folder path manually to save the images in a new folder.

I would like to find out if a UI dialog can be used with the script to edit the folder path.

The UI dialog would offer to use the previous folder path or to enter/select a new folder location.

I have not been able to incorporate the core Javascript class Folder successfully with the Bridge script.

The scripts hangs, does not complete when I add the core JS Folder class.

How do I approach building a script UI in Bridge?

Are there any simple Bridge script UI samples available to deconstruct?

Seeking method to change what is displayed in Filter-->Focal length

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 19 Sep 2014 20:31:19 GMT

When in Bridge under the Filter tab-->Focal length what I have listed is 5mm, 5.8mm, 6mm, 6.2mm, 6.3mm, 6.5mm etc. etc. and the list goes on and on. The conclusion being that this list is way too lo0ng to serve as a good filter to me.

I sold all of my lenses 2 years ago and replaced them with one zoom lens (and at times a pocket camera also with a zoom). I couldn't care less if the photo was taken at 6mm or 6.2mm. To me they are just about the same thing. However, I would like it if it actually game me a range say 5mm-10mm; 10.1 mm-15mm etc. Now the filter makes sense to me being more manageable. Is there any way of making it so?

In other words I no longer want to see:

5.8mm,

6mm,

6.2mm,

6.3mm,

6.5mm

But would like instead to see:

5mm--10mm

10.1mm--15mm

15.1mm--20mm

Which are in increments of 5, BUT, increments of 10 would be fine as well or even better.

Thank you

The UI dialog:

Enter folder path

Remember the last folder path used

When the scripts runs the UI dialog displays. After the user enters the folder path the the scripts batch processes a folder of images.

FlashExportToJepg sample script not working

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 17 Oct 2014 12:06:07 GMT

I need to produce screenshots of swf files. I'm having no luck getting the FlashExportToJepg script, included in the Adobe Bridge CS6 SDK, working. It doesn't error, it just doesn't produce the jpeg.

I wrote this short script to try to identify the problem. It produces a jpeg from the preview when an image is selected – but not for a swf.

var bitmap=app.document.selections[0].core.preview.preview;

var path=returnPath(app.document.selections[0].path,1)+"/test.jpg";

bitmap.exportTo(path);

function returnPath(dFn,nu){

var pA= dFn.split("/");

for (n=0;n<nu;n++){

pA.pop();

}

rP=pA.join();

rP=rP.replace(/,/g,'/');

return rP;

extract metadata from selected files in bridge

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 19:26:44 GMT

I used to use extensis portfolio to quickly export metadata from selected files to create print worksheets. I could customize which metadata would be displayed.

For instance:

Thumbnail

title

pixels

file type

date created and modified

height and width

dpi

embedded icc profile

file location

iptc description

It was a quick drag and drop process, but portfolio is now only available in the server edition for over $1000. Does anyone have script for Mac OS that would accomplish this?

Comment selectioner des photos par heure de prise

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 21 Sep 2014 12:44:45 GMT

Bonjour

J'ai cherché cet argument par tous mais j'ai rien trouvé donc je pose ici la question.

Depuis Javier 2014 j'ai une gopro qui chaque jour prend une photo chaque minute, maintenant (21 septembre 2014) j'aimerais pouvoir voir le timelapse final, mais vu qu'il s'agit d'un timelapse d'un chantier, l'action se passe du lundi au vendredi de 8h00 à 18h00, vu que le timelapse est assez énorme, je cherche un moyen pour sélectionner que les photos qu'il sont été crée dans cette plage horaire. j'ai vu que sur bridge existe la possibilité de créer des collections smart, mais on peut juste définir la plage de date.

Donc est ce que existe un moyen pour améliorer la recherche de bridge pour lui ajouter un filtre horaire???

J’espère que ma question soit assez compréhensible, je ne suis pas français.
Merci

smart collection of image files linked to InDesign documents?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:04:52 GMT

I would like to create a Smart Collection that finds all of the image files linked to InDesign documents in a specific folder.
I am the yearbook advisor at school and I need to easily find all of the images that have been placed so that we don't reuse images by mistake.

I have no scripting experience, so I can't create something myself, and I haven't been able to find anything that does such a thing.

Many yearbook design software programs do offer something like this - indicating that an image has been used previously.

I guess it would need to look at the metadata of the InDesign Files for the Linked Files and then pit all of the files found there into a Smart Collection. Ideally, I would be able to further limit it by file type. ANd to not include Master pages if so desired (although that would just be a bonus!)

I greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can give.

Thanks!

Where is stored the Folder label registry location?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 30 Jul 2014 13:36:55 GMT

When I put a red label on a File that has xmp metadata, I can retrieve these values later and this will be stored in the file or in a side-car xmp file.

But Folder can't have xmp.

In this case, where is stored this info about the color label of a Folder? Only in cache? Is there a hidden file ( like, for example ".Bridgesort" hidden file for manually sorted items)

I noticed that I I label a folder in a common accessed network from computer A, I can retrieve that value from another computer B by rebuilding the cache parent folder of the labeled folder.

It can't be the file C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6\Cache\data\store because it is inacessible from other computers on network.

So is must be some hidden file on the same directory of the labeled folder.

Mouse events listener

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 30 Jul 2014 14:46:15 GMT

I'm having trouble listening for mouse events in Bridge CS6.

This example script works well in Photoshop and Toolkit, but not in Bridge:

var w =new Window ("dialog");
var b = w.add ("button", undefined, "Qwerty");

b.addEventListener("click", function (k){whatsup (k)});

function whatsup (p)
{
  if(p.button == 2){ $.writeln ("Right-button clicked.") }
  if(p.shiftKey){ $.writeln ("Shift key pressed.") }
  $.writeln ("X: "+ p.clientX);
  $.writeln ("Y: "+ p.clientY);
}
w.show ();

Other event types like resize or focus work well.

The event types that seem to be broken are: mousedown, mouseup, mouseover, mouseout, click

Is there a work-around to this problem?

Bridge looses cache folder tree window when I rename parent folder

I managed to activate the code to change the name of the parent folder containing some images (I put an underscore before de parent folder name).

When I did it by hand, the folder and subfolders I was navigating on were visible on the folder window (left side)

But I lose the navigation of folders in the left window when I do exactly the same by code.

(...)

    var newPath = decodeURI(Path.parent)+"/_"+name;
    var bt = new BridgeTalk();
    bt.target = "bridge";
    // as acções do bridge contêm 1. colocação do _   2. label 3. organização dos ficheiros por tipo
    bt.body = "app.document.thumbnail =Folder('"+newPath+"').fsName;";
    bt.send(8);
    bt.pump();

(...)

... and the left navigation desapears...

Is there same cache loosing problem? Can I recreate the last folder navigational window some how with code?

copy filename to iptc description

Hello,

I need to create a process of copying the filename of a tiff to the description in that same file's iptc. Ideally i'd like to be able to drop the script in to an Apple Automator process, but that would be a luxury. There's also an extra catch: i need the script to replace "=" with ":" and to add a prefix, for example "CMS:"

Here's an example:

input

filename: 8737=6.tif

description:

output

filename: 8737=6.tif

description: CMS:8737:6

It seems a faily basic process but i don't know where to start with this scripting business... Any help or advise would be much appreciated! Perhaps you know of a really similar one that i can modify??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 16 May 2014 13:13:24 GMT

I'm photographing with manual lenses that do not transmit exif data about lens type, focal length and aperture. I was looking for a Bridge addon that allows me to add this information, but found nothing. Is it possible to change this field with a Bridge script? I've read the documentation and found no evidence that it isn't allowed, but I've read on another site that it's impossible to change this kind of fields.

Can anybody shed some light on this? If it's generally possible I would write such a script.

ScriptUI edittext scrollbar problem with Bridge CC Mac

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:46:39 GMT

Hello,

With Bridge CC for Mac, in the UI, the scrollbar which come with edittext and multiline option, is not active.

The scrollbar on the right appears by typing text or ENTER, but not by scripting.

Any idea? Thanks

#target bridge

var textgen = new Array();

for (var r = 0; r < 15; r++) {

textgen[r] = ("line "+r);

}

var generatedtext = (textgen.join('\n'));

var win2 = new Window("dialog", undefined, [0,0,200,200], ); // UI

with(win2){

win2.eText = add( "edittext", [5,45,140,175], generatedtext, {multiline: true, scrolling: true} ); // problem here with Bridge CC Mac

win2.retour = add( "button", [150,5,195,32], "Close" );

}

win2.retour.onClick = function() {win2.close();};

win2.center();

win2.show();

Bridge UI not displaying images, OK in ESTK. Why?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 05 May 2014 01:04:42 GMT

Can anyone shed some light at a following problem.

I have a UI that will be displayed in Bridge, part of it is a file preview of an image. Everything works well when I run it in ESTK, but when Bridge is targeted, I get a blank frame.

Yes all my images are jpg.

Code is as simple as:

var myNewFile = "~/Desktop/temp/mytestfile.jpg";

var w = new Window ("palette", "Thumbnail");

var thumbnail = w.add ("image",undefined, myNewFile);

w.show();

HTML5 Extensions for Bridge

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 22:23:54 GMT

Many other Adobe products are moving to HTML5-based panels (http://blogs.adobe.com/cssdk/2013/09/introducing-html5-extensions.html), is there any way to find out if Bridge will do this too?

Thanks

Script to customize 'Description' from Keywords?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 04 May 2014 00:48:07 GMT

I process multiple image galleries of 100-125 images on a daily basis using Bridge, and I add keywords to these images which then get converted to Wordpress tags when uploaded to my site. What I also want to do is add meaningful 'Description' (alt/text) to my images using the keywords I already have for the images.

For example, let's say I have 3 images in a gallery titled - 'X-Men Movie Premiere'.

Image001.jpg has keywords Hugh Jackman, Bryan SInger

Image002.jpg has keywords Hugh Jackman, Bryan SInger, Jennifer Lawrence

Image003.jpg has keyword Jennifer Lawrence

I want to be able to run a script that takes the keywords and append it to the gallery title or a customized text and make it the 'Description' for the image. So in this case,

Customized Text = "at the X-Men Premiere"

Image001.jpg should have description Hugh Jackman, Bryan SInger at the X-Men Premiere

Image002.jpg should have description Hugh Jackman, Bryan SInger, Jennifer Lawrence at the X-Men Premiere

Image003.jpg should have description Jennifer Lawrence at the X-Men Premiere

Any scripting gurus that can help? Thanks in advance!

Sort by SOURCE - Metadata

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 01 May 2014 16:18:05 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to sort photos in Bridge by a specific metatdata field - SOURCE.

Does anyone know if there is a script for this, or if it's possible to make one?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!
