Title: Re: Photoshop - positionning layers [solved]
On 14.10.2008 12:35, "Michael Schmidt (BRT)" <email@hidden> spake thus:

Maybe this could help:

property moveActiveLayerScript : "function moveLayer(byX, byY) {
   var id50 = charIDToTypeID( \"move\" );
     var desc7 = new ActionDescriptor();
     var id51 = charIDToTypeID( \"null\" );
         var ref3 = new ActionReference();
         var id52 = charIDToTypeID( \"Lyr \" );
         var id53 = charIDToTypeID( \"Ordn\" );
         var id54 = charIDToTypeID( \"Trgt\" );
         ref3.putEnumerated( id52, id53, id54 );
     desc7.putReference( id51, ref3 );
     var id55 = charIDToTypeID( \"T   \" );
         var desc8 = new ActionDescriptor();
         var id56 = charIDToTypeID( \"Hrzn\" );
         var id57 = charIDToTypeID( \"#Pxl\" );
         desc8.putUnitDouble( id56, id57, byX );
         var id58 = charIDToTypeID( \"Vrtc\" );
         var id59 = charIDToTypeID( \"#Pxl\" );
         desc8.putUnitDouble( id58, id59, byY );
     var id60 = charIDToTypeID( \"Ofst\" );
     desc7.putObject( id55, id60, desc8 );
executeAction( id50, desc7, DialogModes.NO );
}

moveLayer(arguments[0], arguments[1])
"

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
 activate
 set docRef to current document
 set NewLayer to current layer of docRef
 tell NewLayer
  if not background layer then
   -- setting target's coordinates
   set targetX to 50
   set targetY to 87
   
   -- getting source's coordinates
   set {x1, y1, x2, y2} to bounds
   
   -- move layer using the coordinate's differences
   do _javascript_ (moveActiveLayerScript) with arguments {targetX -  
x1, targetY - y1}
  else
   display dialog "The background layer can't be moved."
  end if
 end tell
end tell

Thanks Michael,

I was able (a minute ago) to simply modify Shane’s original idea by changing the line to

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
        set docRef to current document
       set NewLayer to current layer of docRef
       translate NewLayer delta x DocWidth / 2 --delta y 0
end tell

It seems that removing the delta y coordinate and using a variable referring to the current layer that had already been defined did the trick.

Thanks Michael, and thanks a bunch Shane.
