Photoshop and Windows


Recommended Posts

hello everyone.

i just discovered this software and don't understand how it works.

I would like to have a script which detect opened photoshop files windows and then when i press ctrl + tab or ctrl + shift + tab (this action select an other file in photoshop), i would like new selected window be aligned and resized with/like the previously selected.

I started coding with autohotkey but a friend of mine told me Autolt was really better.

But i don't understand how it works :)

Could anyone help me with this script basic ?

Here is something to get you started. I don't have photoshop, so I can't do much more than this.

;~ set the hotkeys
HotKeySet("+^{tab}", "function"); + = shift and ^ = control
HotKeySet("^{tab}", "function")

;~ endless loop (waits for you to press a hotkey)
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func function()
;~ here's where you have to find out what the newly selected window is,
;~ find out what the position of the previous window is, and then move the first one.
;~ you would probably want to use winmove to move/resize the new window
EndFunc

p.s. use the helpfile, it's a great resource.

Thanks.

But i'm still dont understanding :s

Actually i made that with autohotkeys, dunno if it can help to describe what i'm trying to do:

#IfWinActive, ahk_class PSDocC

,::
WinGetPos, X, Y, XA, YA, A; "A" to get the active window's pos.
SendInput, ^+{TAB}
Sleep, 70
WinGetActiveTitle, MoveWin
WinMove ,%MoveWin%, , X, Y, XA, YA
return
`;::
WinGetPos, X, Y, XA, YA, A; "A" to get the active window's pos.
SendInput, ^{TAB}
Sleep, 70
WinGetActiveTitle, MoveWin
WinMove ,%MoveWin%, , X, Y, XA, YA
return

So basically I want to reinvent the alt tab effect but only for photoshop windows. I would like to use "Win+;" for next and "Win+," for previous. When I switch windows I want to to get the window I switch to to line up with the window I was just using and resize so it is the same size as the window I was just using.

Also I don't know if this is possible but it would be nice if it was the same zoom as well.
