Is there a way to create a UXP plugin to run psjs scripts that run actions?

[OliverM]

Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I hope that I am doing a good job at it.
I want to automate my action scripts, and I am looking for a way to let them run on a whole folder. Currently I would think the best way would be to write a Script using the new .psjs version for each action. What I wonder is if there is a good way to translate/run the actions via .psjs? I believe that this is done via batch play and I am still looking for examples that others have already posted. My endgoal would be to create a UXP plugin framework to add a radio button for each psjs and a button that would execute this script upon the source folder → target folder. I will continue to look for solutions and add on this post as I get closer to the goal, but I thought starting early to describe the problem would be the best way. Looking forward to be part of this community and this forum in particular! Cheers, Oliver

Looking for answers I stumbled upon a post from 2 and 3 years ago, that I want to share here, it is still not solving the issue, but I believe this topic is still hot, so collecting some posts while searching, may help others too.

Panel with buttons to run psjs files

Now it works on both macOS/Windows. Discard the previous code because the initial value of getWarnRunningScripts was incorrect. const photoshop = require('photoshop') ; const { app, core } = photoshop ; const fs = require('fs') ; const { localFileSystem } = require('uxp').storage ; const { entrypoints } = require('uxp') ; const os = require('os') ; const homePath = os.homedir() ; /** * Returns path to PSUserConfig.txt * @return {string} */ const getPSUserConfigPath = () => { const psVer…

Execute a script via a button

Do you mean to play an action, or run a JSX script? Yes, either can be done. I have a UXP plugin that plays actions and there have been no issues at all with that. You can also play JSX extendscript through UXP. I don’t use this in my plugins but I did do some testing. It works fine but for some reason runs at about 1/2 the speed that my JSX extendscripts run when ran natively, not through UXP. Here is the documentation for playing actions. https://www.adobe.io/photoshop/uxp/ps_reference/c…

Action can be executed directly from the UXP plugin. Why via psjs?
