How to open a file in Photoshop with javascript

Hello!

I want to open a file / an image with a click of a button in the extension in photoshop > > javascript.

Possibly with the relative path for the file extension (must work on several different computers)

I tried several scripts:

===================================================================================

function somename(){


#target photoshop

var fileRef = "C:\\Users\\Username\\Desktop\\scripting\\image.png"     // I tried several differnet syntay about the path >> / \  \\ etc. etc.

var doc = open(fileRef);
}

================  OR  ==================================================================

function somename2(){


#target photoshop

var fileRef = new File( ~/desktop/scripting/image.png )     // I tried several differnet syntay about the path >> / \  \\ etc. etc.

app.open(fileRef)
}

======================================================

I know that these paths are absolute, but > > None of them had up to present work


Any ideas?


PS: im new on this > > please be specific or provide a few examples thanks :-)!

well a little update!
Thanks Davide!

It works > just, I was a little to the beginner to interpret correctly the answer Davide.

So I put these codes in the main.js file in the JS folder:

(function () {
    'use strict';
    var csInterface = new CSInterface();
    function init() {

        themeManager.init();

        $("#something_1").click(function () {
  var csInterface = new CSInterface();
  var extensionPath = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION);
  var imagePath = extensionPath + "/image/samplepicture.jpg";
  csInterface.evalScript("openFile('" + imagePath + "')");
        });
    }
    init();
}());

And it's the hostscript.jsx inside the JSX file:

function openFile(imagePath) {
app.open(File(imagePath));
}

And the index.html file call it like this:


Very many thanks to all who helped! Take care!

  • How to open the files .dll automatically with Adobe Reader via Firefox?

    Hello

    When I print labels eBay via Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to automatically open in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change the options to display "all files", then find the .dll file and open it.

    When I try to change the default application in the preferences of Firefox, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".

    Is there a way to have Firefox automatically opens files .dll with Adobe Reader?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Steve

    Sorry for the delay, but yes, just stop Firefox so that the mimeTypes.rdf file is released.

  • How to open a file with the extension .odg using Vista?

    How to open a file with the extension .odg using Vista?

    Hi Defiant503,

    Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.

    I did some research and a file ending with .odg is an OpenDocument Document OpenOffice/StarOffice (Ver 2) of graphics by Sun Microsystems, Inc.    This means that in order to open this file, you will need this program to open it.  You will not be able to open this file with Vista.

    I hope this information helps.

  • How to open the files .fxm and .fxr with fax windows 7 & scan?

    How to open the files .fxm and .fxr with fax windows 7 & scan?  These faxes have been received when I had Windows XP.

    Hello

    A file with FXR and FXM file extensions is a Document received from WinFax.

    You can open the FXR and FXM file by double clicking on it and let your PC decide which default application should open the file.   If no program opens, the FXR and FXM file, then you have probably an installed application that can view and/or edit FXR and FXM files.

    You can use a Notepad or another text editor to open these files.  Number of files is files read-only, which means little matter file extension, a text editor may be able to view the contents of the file properly.  This may or may not be the case with FXR and FXM files, but it's worth a try.

    How a FXR and FXM files:
    There are two ways to try to convert a file to a different file type:

    a. open the FXR file in its default program and choose to save the file open in another file format.

    b. use a softwarefrom online file conversion to convert these files to another file format.

    Note:     using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Impossible to open PNG files in Photoshop CS5...?

    I see a lot of threads with this problem, but none of them seem to have an answer.

    For some reason any right now when I try to open a PNG file in Photoshop it goes right down.  I find myself with an endless "hour glass".

    I had all my directories project website on a network share.  As I no longer sharing all these files with an office of people I decided to move all these files to my own local computer project.  Since I did I can't open PNG files in Photoshop.

    Any information on what might have caused this, or more importantly, how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    You can open any other file type?  Or are all opened files causing a freeze?

    If the latter, you can try changing your printer to a local device (instead of on the network).

    It could also be that you're clock looking for recently used files on the network (which is really a problem with the network driver code).  Disconnection of the server network can help.

    Hi Robrw,

    1. when exactly you receive this error?

    2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

    You can try to rename the catroot2 folder and check if it helps.

    Step 1:

    a. Click Start and in run type C:\windows\system32 and click ok

    b. find the Catroot2 folder. Right-click on Catroot2 and rename it to Catroot2.old

    If you are not able to do the normal mode, try to start in safe mode and rename

    Check out the link for more information on starting your computer in SafeMode below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Step 2:

    If you are unable to access the catroot2 folder, and then try to change the permissions on the files and check if it helps.

    See the following article:

    How to capture a file or a folder in Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421

    Step 3:

    You can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls and check what is happening.

    Note: Activate the security software after the resolution of the problem.

    Hope this information is useful.
