Parse Action Descriptor Code

Description

Parse your Photoshop Action Descriptor code from the Scripting Listener into a more readable format, or into a flexible function.

Install

• Git clone this repository
• Open ./index.html

Usage

Open parse-action-descriptor-code

Copy and paste your output from the Scripting Listener into the Input text area. Select the desired function. Click Parse, and your parsed code will be shown in the Output text area.

Example

Input from the Scripting Listener (Make new document)

var idMk = charIDToTypeID( "Mk  " );
    var desc36 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idNw = charIDToTypeID( "Nw  " );
        var desc37 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idNm = charIDToTypeID( "Nm  " );
        desc37.putString( idNm, """New File""" );
        var idartboard = stringIDToTypeID( "artboard" );
        desc37.putBoolean( idartboard, false );
        var idMd = charIDToTypeID( "Md  " );
        var idRGBM = charIDToTypeID( "RGBM" );
        desc37.putClass( idMd, idRGBM );
        var idWdth = charIDToTypeID( "Wdth" );
        var idRlt = charIDToTypeID( "#Rlt" );
