Transform all layer groups

• How to convert all layer groups

  Hi all

  I have a huge file with several groups containing each mutiple subgroups containing... you guessed it, many other groups.

  I need to convert every single file group to a layer and follow the same order (groups, subgroups and so on) to make this design usable and editable.

  Unfortunately, I have zero skills in programming or JS.

  Has anyone faced the same problem? I'm looking for a script which create layers, name them and transfer the content automatically into the appropriate layer. It would be just w-a-a-a-a-y-y-y long do it manually because the file contains more 20 000 forms (most I have several other files that I need to convert the same way).

  Any help would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  OK, give it a try. It works best if you start with only 1 layer and this layer has only groups within higher level.

  #target illustrator-19
  function test(){
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
      var originalLayer = doc.layers[0];
      var newLayer, thisGroup, thisContent;
      for(var i=originalLayer.groupItems.length - 1; i > -1; i--){
          thisGroup = originalLayer.groupItems[i];
          newLayer = doc.layers.add();
          newLayer.name = thisGroup.name;
          for(var j=thisGroup.pageItems.length - 1; j > -1; j--){
              thisContent = thisGroup.pageItems[j];
              thisContent.move(newLayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
          };
      };
      app.redraw();
      if(originalLayer.pageItems.length == 0){
          originalLayer.remove();
      }
  }
  
  test();
  

• How to get the current layer type (text, art, layer group, etc.).

  Hi, I'm traveling on all layers using layerIndex. I can get current name later following the path. char * NomCouche = new char [100]; Int32 len = 100; PIUGetInfoByIndex (layerIndex, classLayer, keyName, NomCouche and len); I tried to use the keyType and sound in the same way, but I'm not able to get the type of the layer directly. Why? Also, I found a similar discussion, check the layer is SectionStart, SectionEnd or SectionContent. Get plugin C++ layer groups if the layer is a 'SectionContent', how I have in addition to check its type (textlater, adjustmentlayer, artlayer, ect)?

  Ok

  Later, I noticed that the value of a layer type is int32.

  		Int32 layertype = 0;
  		DescriptorTypeID runlayertypeKey = 0;
  		sPSActionControl-> StringIDToTypeID ("layerKind", & runlayertypeKey);
  		error = PIUGetInfoByIndex (layerIndex, classLayer, runlayertypeKey, & layertype, NULL);

• Cannot open a layer group in 13 items

  I'm trying to open a layer group in 13 elements but get the following error message: "you are trying to open a group which is not supported in photoshop elements" then it prompts to simplify all the layers in a layer.  It's useless!  How to do this?  This is a fairly simple feature and would think that Photoshop Elements can handle.  Yes, I have the version of the complete software, not the trial version.

• 2014 CC Photoshop crashes for almost 15 seconds, when using layer > Group layers or Layers Palette > layers command group.

  Photoshop crashes for almost 15 seconds, when using layer > Group layers or Layers Palette > layers command group. NOT on creating new group and creation of layers and n-drag-drop group manually in the Palette layers. Got a file of user interface design with close to 800 layers and lots of groups. This doesn't happen in smaller files. Using OS X Mavericks, Photoshop, CC 2014.2.2, mi 2014 15-inch Macbook Pro Retina.

  I understand that the solution would be just to cut the file into smaller files and design each display of the user interface in a separate but file which would be painful. And it doesn't seem to be a very difficult task to just the layers in group.

  OK, the first thing to try: disable the generator in the preferences of hiking (under Plug-Ins, at the top).

  On my system, generator never took and a week to read information on all layers and is particularly slow on text layers.

• Why are the boundaries of the layer or layer groups not that of the document?

  Why are assets the whole layer or a layer group rather than be only clipped on the canvas, I'm working on that?

  The limits of a resulting asset layer or layer group are all of the area occupied by the pixels of the layer or layer group. This is how the underlying infrastructure Adobe generator works. We are studying the feasibility of changing this behaviour. If you want it changed, please let us know here!

  If you want to restrict to the linked document, apply a layer mask that écrêtera layers and groups of layers that extend beyond the limits of the document.

• How to transform a layer object and a path at the same time?

  Hi all

  I know that I will start when you tell me the answer to this!

  I would really like to know if there is a way I can manage to transform a layer object and a path at the same time... or if there is no work around to get there.

  In a Word, for example I spend a VERY long time to create a drive complex around a very detailed object and then at the end note to what twisted and perspective, and would like to straighten.

  Of course I could turn and correct the object and then carefully turn the path - but it will not correct and I have to spend a lot of time the path of adjustment and make SURE, it is perfect.

  Are there not somehow, I was able to transform set?

  Usually, of course, I do all the correction to straighten and correct the perspective in advance, but in some cases after I am done creating the path I then notice that image could have used other adjustments.

  I appreciate all the advice you can get :)

  Thank you kindly,

  Christine

  Transform the layer and then target the way and make "Edit > Transform path > Again. If you make several changes on the layer, and then each time that validate you and leave transformation mode, remember to do the ' transform path > Again "to keep the layer and the synchronized pathname.

• Is it possible to import a layer group into a project to another project?

  Hi all

  I am currently using after effects 5... Yes it is version 5, not CS5.

  I'm trying to figure out if I can import a layer group and their applied effects in another project while keeping all the editable attributes and positions of the imported layers with respect to one another.

  I see that I can import an ASP project file into another project through the FILE to be IMPORTED, but just, which brings the raw project window files/layers and don't place no layers in the timeline with all their positions, the effects and the edited attributes, how I had like.

  Also tried to previously compose the layer, but who did not leave their editable once a demo was made... just makes the 7 layers I want to import in to another project all one layer and not let them be changed the way the 7 layers are separately.

  In Adobe Premiere, there is a real ' IMPORT the PROJECT ' selection under IMPORT that allows me to import an entire project in another project and allows me to place the imported project where I want in the new project editing... that's what I try to do in After Effects.

  I realize that there may be a way easy to make it in one of its latest versions of After Effects and the other may say, 'just buy the new AE CS5', but I figured out allot of things on my own so far and I love after effects 5 for what I do now... maybe later on the newer version.

  Thank you for any input,

  Just import the source project in the new project.  Open the original composition, select the layers you want and copy.  Then, open the new composition and paste.

  If you want to be really ordered on this subject, you can make a temporary version of the source project that contains only the layers you want to move to the new project.  Import this temp project to the new, then you can delete the temp project.

• How to back up or restore all my groups of tabs (preferably 1 operation)?

  I would like to save all my groups of tabs, both for purposes of backup, but also for migration to another computer. How can I do this in a single operation?

  The same consideration would apply to all the groups tab restore from a previously saved session.

  Eric

  The app tabs and tab (Panorama) groups are stored in session data in the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder

• Lost all the "groups" in Contacts with El Capitan upgrade

  I have just trepidatiously improved to El Capitan on my Macbook Pro.  All the "groups" that took a lot of time to create disappeared in the new Contacts folder.

  Someone else has run into this issue and how to resolve?  Great gratitude for your help!

  They are always there.  Just go to the menu display-> display groups.

• Layer/group layers in PSE14?

  I'm working through some tutorials in a book called "Layers of Photoshop." It's good, but outdated or inappropriate for PSE14
  .

  He speaks in selecting layer/group layers to organize layers into folders. Is there an equivalent function in PSE14?

  Thank you.

  No, layer groups are not available in PSE14, but you can retrieve this function with a module external elements + (very affordable).

  On the elements.

  Go to the section layers and find the Group and ungroup layers scripts.

• Open files using its layer group name

  are there images to import the folder into photoshop cc option using its layer group name (the name of the image is already entered in the layer group) .so using the group name as a file name of the script need to open the document automatically.

  2016, use it at your own risk.

  #target photoshop

  the file;

  myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

• Removal (suppression), all named groups (labelled) on a page

  "" Hoping someone can help make the script below the work I am not too, I get the error: object does not support the property or method "itemByName".

  I am trying to remove all the groups in the document marked "Text_Block", I can easily remove the last group with app.documents [i].pageItems.itemByName ("Text_Block") .remove (); but impossible to create a loop to delete them all. I tried a few variations and I know it will probably be only a small change, but I just can't grasp it.

  allItems var = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;

  for (i = 0; i < allItems.length; i ++)

  {If (.itemByName [i] allItems is 'Text_Block')

  {allItems [i].itemByName("Text_Block").remove () ;}

  }

  Thanks a lot for any help in this, Bren

  Thanks Jarek,

  I tried to use your replacement line and I tried a few variations, but it still doesn't remove any of the groups (think it's more my experience than anything else).

  It is me thinking differently, and even though I'm not sure that this is the way to go, the script below seems to work without any problems.

  for (i = 0; i<30;>

  {try {app.documents [0].pageItems.itemByName ("Text_Block") .remove ();}}  }

  {catch (err) {""}}

  I know that there is never more than 30 of them on the page for this were defined as the number of max, I don't anticipate any problems but I didn't do like that before, so not 100% satisfied, please let me know if you think this isn't the way to go.

  Thank you for your help, Bren

• How to activate the movement of tools toggle the layer/group off

  Update photoshop today and the command key, which allows use of select lock when it is used with the tool moving, is become a rocking/layer group. Hot damn, this really screws with years years of muscle memory with this tool. Is it possible to return it to the way it used to have it function?

  This topic was brought up a little bit in the poast weeks, while many users encounter this same problem.

  I seems to me that the interim solution is to hold down the 'V' instead of command. Just treat the keystroke 'V' exactly the same way you treat the "Command" key... in other words, hold the V key, click anywhere in your document to select your layer, then release V.

  It is the landmark until Adobe fixes the bug
