In the case of the script I had which looped through the layers of a
photoshop document and saved each layer as a PNG, I was having trouble
getting the new files to be the smallest size by being unable to get the
size of the selection.
I was working on a stop gap and realized that making an action that cropped,
did the trick. So now I tell Photoshop to do that action before saving the
PNG. Doh!
The script gets a layer. An action command-clicks the layer to set the
selection. Copy. New document with properties fill:transparent. Paste. Do
action to crop (the selection is maintained in each after the paste.) Then
saving.
I have an Action Set for script actions. This is kind of nice because then
actions serve as little script objects that can be called from a script
whether it is a standalone or just a quick super macro to be run from Script
Editor for a one time purpose.
