Adobe Photoshop CS6

JavaScript Scripting Reference Introduction 33

● In Mac OS:

Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/ExtendScript Toolkit CS6/SDK

The latest versions of this document and of the ExtendScript Tookit, can also be downloaded from Adobe

Developer Center, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/

Executing scripts

The Adobe Photoshop CS6 interface includes a Scripts menu (File > Scripts) which provides quick and

easy access to your JavaScripts. Scripts can be listed directly as menu items that run when you select them,

or you can navigate to and run any JavaScript in your file system.

If Adobe Photoshop CS6 encounters an error during script execution, it displays the error message.

Installing scripts

To install a JavaScript in the Scripts menu, place it in the Scripts folder (Photoshop CS6/Presets/Scripts).

The names of the scripts in the Scripts folder, without the file name extension, will be displayed in the

Scripts menu. Any number of scripts may be installed in the Scripts menu.

Scripts added to the Scripts folder while Adobe Photoshop CS6 is running will not appear in the Scripts

menu until the next time you launch the application.

All scripts found in the Scripts folder and sub-folders are displayed at the top level of the File > Scripts

menu. The addition of sub-folders does not add a hierarchical organization to the Scripts menu.

Executing other scripts

The Browse item at the end of the Scripts menu (File > Scripts > Browse) allows you to execute scripts

which are not installed in the Scripts folder. You can also use Browse to select scripts installed in the Scripts

folder after the application was last launched.

Selecting Browse displays a file browser dialog which allows you to select a script file for execution. Only

.js or .jsx files are displayed in the browse dialog. When you select a script file, it is executed the same

way as an installed script.

Startup scripts

On startup, Adobe Photoshop CS6 executes all .jsx files that it finds in the startup folders.

● On Windows, the startup folder for user-defined scripts is:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS6\Adobe Photoshop

● On Mac OS, the startup folder for user-defined scripts is:

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS6/Adobe Photoshop

If a script is meant to be executed only by Adobe Photoshop CS6, it must include code such as the

following:

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

//continue executing script

}

For additional details, see the JavaScript Tools Guide CS6.
