Is there any way to translate the whole content of the document uisng JSX script?

[olivu1568674]

We can move layer or a group as follows:

app.activeDocument.activeLayer.translate(100,100);

Is there any way to move whole content like above( Without iterating layer by layer )?

Select layer(Set)s and use this code:

function sTT(v) {return stringIDToTypeID(v)}
function mve() {
     (ref1 = new ActionReference()).putEnumerated
     (sTT('layer'), sTT('ordinal'), sTT('targetEnum'));
     (dsc1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(sTT('null'), ref1);
     dsc2 = new ActionDescriptor(); (function(v) {
          for(i = 0; i < (arr = ['horizontal', 'vertical']).length; i++) {
               dsc2.putUnitDouble(sTT(arr), sTT('pixelsUnit'), v)
          }
     })(arguments)
     dsc1.putObject(sTT('to'), sTT('offset'), dsc2)
     executeAction(sTT('move'), dsc1)
}
mve(100, 100)

Thanks a lot.
Is there any way to select multiple layers, if we got references to layers?

[Kukurykus]

What kind of references? btw if my code is answer for your question, mark it as correct solution

[olivu1568674]

What kind of references?

var layers = [app.activedocument.layers[0],app.activedocument.layers[2],app.activedocument.layers[2]]

I want to move these layers which is in layers array.

Is there any method to select the layers using script itself?

"btw if my code is answer for your question, mark it as correct solution"

Thanks a lot for the answer, But it not completely solved my question mate.

Actually I created for you a script to the problem you described in your original post. There was not anything you say now.

To select layers you can do it by Action Manager method. In contrary to Domestic Oriented Model method, layers(Set)s are counted from down. If there is background then it has 0 value, while next layers start from 1. If there is no background then first layer still has 1 value, while there is no layer with 0 value since there's no background. Regarding layerSets they have 2 values. One is closing, and one opening. Here's your additional code:

function sTT(v) {return stringIDToTypeID(v)}
for(ref = new ActionReference(), i = (arr = [1, 2, 3]).length - 1; i >= 0;) ref.putIndex(sTT('layer'), arr[i--]);
(dsc = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(sTT('null'), ref), executeAction(sTT('select'), dsc)

Thank you very much

Image size will also change all layers sizes.

[olivu1568674]

Thank you.

I want to move the layers. Not to resize.

If you want to move all layer at once. if the document has a background layer you would first need to convert it to a normal layer target all layer then move all with a single transform the only moves the targeted layers does not resize.  Part of what was the background layer will be outside the document canvas area. Layers other then Photoshop's special Background layer can be any size and position anywhere relative to the document canvas.   Photoshop Background is a special case.  It is the bottom layer in the layers stack  it Transparency is locked  the layers opacity and fill  100% the layer is canvas size and can not be moved.

You can target a layer group and move its layers  with a single translate.     You can target any number of layers throughout  the layer stack and move the all targeted layers at once with a single translate. You can target all  layer  except the background and move them with a single translate.
