Include external files

If your script file is saved, the extension will load your script path and execute it. This makes it easier to use ExtendScript's #include to load relative external files.

#include "~/Development/personal/descriptor-info/jsx/descriptor-info.jsx"

If your file is not saved, the extension will execute your script through a temporary file, making it impossible to load external relative files using #include. Absolute paths will always work.

Polyfills

brackets-to-photoshop includes by default 3 JavaScript polyfills, which you can use in your code at any time.

  • JSON.stringify
  • JSON.parse
  • Array.forEach

Log to the console

This extension has an internal module that recreates JavaScript's console module, including a way to log a JSON.stringify response.

You can use functions in your code such as:

console.log( 'Hello' );
// Returns: [node-log 4:16:02 PM] Br-Ps: [log: 16:16:2.649] Hello

console.info( 'Hello' );
// Returns: [node-log 4:16:23 PM] Br-Ps: [info: 16:16:23.823] Hello

console.error( 'Hello' );
// Returns: [node-log 4:16:37 PM] Br-Ps: [error: 16:16:37.985] Hello

console.stringify( { foo : 'bar' } );
// Returns: [node-log 4:16:50 PM] Br-Ps: [stringify: 16:16:50.185] {
    "foo": "bar"
}

This extension also allows the use of ExtendScript's native $.write and $.writeln functions to log to the console using JSON.stringify.

$.writeln( "Hello" );
// Returns: [node-log 4:20:34 PM] Br-Ps: [log: 16:20:34.337] "Hello"

$.write( "Hello" );
// Returns: [node-log 4:20:37 PM] Br-Ps: [log: 16:20:37.171] "Hello"

Console

A console will show up at the bottom of your editor displaying any messages returned from the executed script. Errors will display in red.

The console includes a "Running Application" and an "Execution Time" stamp and a "Clear" button to clear the console. You can also copy the output from the console.

Known Limitations

  • This extension uses Photoshop's AppleScript API, so it will only work for MacOS users at the moment.
  • AppleScript has a hard time targeting specific versions of Illustrator, After Effects and Bridge.
