Guest mikenicee Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I am new to this and have been trying to program it myself, but my patience is running low. I need a script/program that will do the following: There will be a hot folder: Two files will be placed in the hot folder (or two separate folders, if thats easier) One file is a .txt file, the other is a jpg The text file will have two bits of information: A script# (1-100) and a filename The filename in the txt file will need to be loaded into photoshop, then an .atn (action file in photoshop) is performed based on the script#. The atn file does not need to be created. I have that part down. For those who are not familair with the .atn file, its a photoshop script essentially. It can be launched by clicking on it, or a function key is assigned. The script will be performed and then the file will need to save two versions. A full size version, and then it must resample it down and make a low resolution version. The two versions will have the same filename as the original except a date stamp at the end of the filename. The full resolution version will have a .tif extension and the low res .jpg extension The two new files will be saved in a separate folders for use elsewhere. TIF FOLDER and JPG FOLDER Any ideas? Look forward to hear from someone with the programming chops. mikenicee@aol.com thanks If this board is not used for this type of inquery, I am sorry, I could think of a better place than this forum.

CyberSlug Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Could post what you already have? Parsing the text file for a script# and filename is easy. I don't have photoshop, but launching the .atn file sounds pretty simple. *Saving the resulting files depends on the photoshop interface.... Setting the filename with a date time stamp is pretty easy, too. *Does photoshop have command-line parameters that handle this, or do button-clicks have to be automated?
