Can't get Export LUT batchPlay code

Photoshop UXP Plugin API

I’m trying to get the code to export a LUT in PS but seems that Photoshop runs a Script when Exporting Color Look Ups (LUT’s). With alchemst I get the Scripts that is being runned but not the “exportLUT” batchPlay action.

I was thinking to reverse engineer the ActionDescriptor code and do some tests to see if I can migrate to batchPlay, but that is my plan A, is there another option for this?

This is the code I get in alchemist:

{
   "_obj": "AdobeScriptAutomation Scripts",
   "javaScriptName": "Color Lookup Tables...",
   "javaScriptMessage": "undefined",
   "_isCommand": true
}

I already analized the script file under the path:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023\Presets\Scripts\ExportColorLookupTables.jsx

Seems it runs an Action Descriptor code, but first opens a UI which I could override and hard code that data but it goes through some processes of duplicating the document and cerating a 3D grid. Is this possible to do or get the batchPlay code some how?

I looked and the documentation and there’s no DOM action to export LUT’s so my only option for now is to reverse engineer the Action Descriptor code and see what I can do by migrating it to batchPLay.

Any thoughts?

Cheers!

Is the menu command ID for this menu item positive or negative number?

Sorry for the late answer, I was traveling.

Seems it is negative:

{
   "_obj": "invokeCommand",
   "commandID": -591,
   "kcanDispatchWhileModal": true,
   "_isCommand": false
}

What does positive or negative means?

My understanding is that the negative ones should not be used as they can easily change in future photoshop versions.

Interesting. Where did you see that? How can I see that plugin?
