Edit script to save psd instead of png

[maria0101]

I use this script quite often. It was enhanced yesterday by awesome people on here. I was wondering if it's possible, instead of it saving as a png to save as a psd file, but with the image size measurements still included? Many, many thanks in advance

var pth = "~/Desktop"; // path to save the file, the default save to the desktop, change as needed  
var tmp = app.preferences.rulerUnits;  
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.MM;  
var w = Math.round(activeDocument.width.value);  
var h = Math.round(activeDocument.height.value);  
var file = new File(pth+ "/" + w+"x"+h + ".png");  
save_as_png(file);  
app.preferences.rulerUnits - tmp;  
function save_as_png(file, filter, none, comp)  
    {  
    try {  
        if (filter == undefined) filter = "PNGFilterAdaptive";  
        if (none == undefined) none = true;  
        if (comp == undefined) comp = 9;  
        var d = new ActionDescriptor();  
        var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();  
        if (none)  
            d1.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("PNGInterlaceType"), stringIDToTypeID("PNGInterlaceType"), stringIDToTypeID("PNGInterlaceNone"));  
        else  
            d1.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("PNGInterlaceType"), stringIDToTypeID("PNGInterlaceType"), stringIDToTypeID("PNGInterlaceAdam7"));  
        d1.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("PNGFilter"), stringIDToTypeID("PNGFilter"), stringIDToTypeID(filter));  
        d1.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("compression"), comp);  
        d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("as"), stringIDToTypeID("PNGFormat"), d1);  
        d.putPath(stringIDToTypeID("in"), file);  
        d.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("copy"), true);  
        executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("save"), d, DialogModes.NO);  
        }  
    catch (e) { alert(e); throw(e); }  
    }

Please, finally read the documentation.

Thanks so much for your time, I know you've been so patient and helpful to me. I really appreciate it.

I have tried changing the png to psd myself but I get a NaN result.

var pth = "~/Desktop";

var tmp = app.preferences.rulerUnits;

app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.MM;

var w = Math.round(activeDocument.width.value);

var h = Math.round(activeDocument.height.value);

var file = new File(pth+ "/" + w+"x"+h + ".psd");

app.preferences.rulerUnits - tmp;

function SavePSD(saveFile){  

psdSaveOptions = new PhotoshopSaveOptions();  

psdSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;  

psdSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;

psdSaveOptions.layers = true;   

activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, psdSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);  

}; 

I can't figure out what I've done wrong 😕

What does NaN mean? )

You forgot to insert a line to call a function.

SavePSD(file)

And it works.

And there is a typo (it looks like mine)

app.preferences.rulerUnits - tmp;

must be

app.preferences.rulerUnits = tmp;

This is what I came up with:

//https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2558835
var pth = "~/Desktop"; // path to save the file, the default save to the desktop, change as needed
var tmp = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.MM;
var w = Math.round(activeDocument.width.value);
var h = Math.round(activeDocument.height.value);
var saveFile = new File(pth + "/" + w + "x" + h + ".psd");
SavePSD(saveFile);
app.preferences.rulerUnits = tmp;
function SavePSD(saveFile){   
psdSaveOptions = new PhotoshopSaveOptions();   
psdSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true; 
psdSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;   
psdSaveOptions.layers = true;
psdSaveOptions.annotations = true;
psdSaveOptions.spotColors = true; 
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, psdSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);   
}

P.S. I believe that the NaN result (not a number) in the JavaScript Console of ESTK was due to the erroneous - hyphen rather than equal = sign. Once I fixed that the original ruler units were returned (line 09).

Ah thank you so much! I really appreciate your hard work!
