Scripting Script doesn't work

[Mackbay]

Hi everyone,

I usually use photoshop to create textures for 3D projects. My steps to create it is creating the textures in differents layers. Then, I put together in a folder (inside the photoshop file) and when I created a large amount of textures inside the same file, I export each folder to jpeg. to get as many textures as folders I made.

To improve the efficiency of this process, I downloaded an script that export each folder to JPEG, besides it save each JPEG with the name of the file (with all characters) + the name of the folder.

But the problem started when I updated to Mavericks. Everything works well but the name of the file only have 10 characters at the most.

Anyone know what have happened with the script?

I don't have any idea to program, due to I attach the file in order to if someone could help me to solve this problem.

Please could somebody help me to fix the script?

Thanks a lot!

Looking for the source of the problem, I realized that the problem could not be the script. I say it due to I realized that when I'm at the "save" window, When I change format to JPEG, the program automatically change the name. I think that If I solve it, I could solve the whole problem. How could I correct it?

Thanks a lot!

I have had a look at the code and made some comments and alterations, I haven't tested it though...

#target photoshop
function main(){
if(!documents.length) return;
var doc = activeDocument;
var dName = decodeURI(activeDocument.name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
var oldPath = (activeDocument.path);
var rndrDir = new Folder(oldPath+"/"+"JPEG");
      if(!rndrDir.exists) rndrDir.create();
//the /JPEG/ should be in quotes
//Why are you re declaring the output folder?
//rndrDir has been declared as the output folder and created if it did not exist
//var newPath = (activeDocument.path + /JPEG/);
for(var a=0;a<doc.layerSets.length;a++){
activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layers.getByName(doc.layerSets[a].name);
//get the layers name before the layer is duplicated to its own document.
var lName = doc.layerSets[a].name;
//the following line duplicates the layer to its own document
dupLayers();
//the following line should not be required as only one layer copied
activeDocument.mergeVisibleLayers();
//newPath was incorrect, doc.layerSets[a].name does not exist as this layer is now by itself in its own document.
//var saveFile= File(newPath +"/"+dName+" - "+doc.layerSets[a].name +".jpg");
var saveFile= File(rndrDir +"/"+dName+" - "+ lName +".jpg");
SaveJPEG(saveFile, 12);
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    }
}
main();
function dupLayers() {
    var desc143 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref73 = new ActionReference();
        ref73.putClass( charIDToTypeID('Dcmn') );
    desc143.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref73 );
    desc143.putString( charIDToTypeID('Nm  '), activeDocument.activeLayer.name );
        var ref74 = new ActionReference();
        ref74.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
    desc143.putReference( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), ref74 );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc143, DialogModes.NO );
};
function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality;
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
}

Thank you for your answer!

I check the script on photoshop but the result is the same. I think that sth has changed in photoshop because in Mountain Lion when I was in save window and I chose to jpeg format, the name didn't changed, but now when I choose jpeg format, the name changes.

Thank you to check the script!

Using Mavericks I realized that it happens with other programs, but I don't know why but now photoshop script works well. I don't know why because I haven't change anything but it works! thank you for all your answers!
