Add filename AND rotate to match mask angle?

Question

Hello,
  I'd like to be able to automatically add a document's filenmame to a series of masked files. Thanks to a previous question (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/547382?tstart=0) I have a series of 'panels' files that have all been saved out from a master file. There are hundreds of them and that last script was a giant help.
  I could probably figure this out if it weren't for the fact that some of the documents contain masks that are not rectangles. All masks have perfect vertical edges and most have horizontal tops and bottom. However, quite a few have angled top and/or bottom edges.
  Any advice on how I can create some javascript that can automate the process of labeling these files? This could be run on a series of files, or one at a time if needed. It would have to:
1) determine the filename of the document being 'labeled'
2) insert the text into the mask path item as the top item in the mask.
3) determine the angle of the top of the mask
4) rotate the text item to match the mask angle if other than horizontal
5) inset the label from the edge slighlty (configurable in the script?)
6) Outline the lable text
I have attached a sample file that roughly illustrates the kind of file the script might be used on.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi, first thanks and second i have good news.
As you may have noticed KERNELS parameter usually changes and thus the rule does not apply, but the path /dev/input/by-id don't change, so:
Create a udev rule:
## /etc/udev/rules.d/99-fix-jsx-eventx.rules ##
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="045e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0745", KERNEL=="js[0-9]*", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/fix-jsx-eventx.sh"
Then create the script to change permissions:
## /usr/local/bin/fix-jsx-eventx.sh ##
#!/bin/bash
sleep 5
chmod a-r-w "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Microsoft_Microsoft®_2.4GHz_Transceiver_v7.0-if02-event-joystick"
chmod a-r-w "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Microsoft_Microsoft®_2.4GHz_Transceiver_v7.0-if02-joystick"
The "sleep 5" is necessary because the eventX is not immediately created, making that permissions aren't applied correctly.
# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/fix-jsx-eventx.sh
After that, reload rules
# udevadm control --reload
Then replug the device and voilà! Both problems solved, get rid of fake joystick and working multimedia keys.
Bye!"
PD: Google translated...
