How to scale to fit Photoshop CS6

Question

I work with a lot of texture layers, often the wrong size and dimensions. I do transform and manually resize. But is there a scale to fit command?In the Photoshop Paper Texture extension, you can see it does that automatically. If there isn't such a command, can anyone point me to an action I can use.
Thank you.

No guessing needed of course there is. Layers are as easy to resize as documents is.  That is what "Transform" does in a script though its method name in script is resize. The resize values used are relative to current size percentage the anchor point defaults to the center but can be changed and the interpolation use is you interpolation preference which can be changed.
Javascript syntax
resize ([horizontal] [, vertical][, anchor]); // number number AnchorPosition
Resizes the layer to the specified dimensions (as a percentage of its current size) and places it in the specified position.
Here is a sample of how one might use it. You need to be careful if you have CS6 Adobe failed to update Photoshop scripting to support BicubicAutomatic and if you leave Adobe default interpolation preference set script will encounter a Photoshop internal error when you try to save that setting.
// Save interpolation settings the script will fail if CS6 and setting is bicubic automatic
var userResampleMethod = app.preferences.interpolation;
app.preferences.interpolation = ResampleMethod.BICUBIC; // resample interpolation bicubic
if (LWidth/LHeight<SWidth/SHeight) { // Smart Object layer Aspect Ratio less the Canvas area Aspect Ratio
   var percentageChange = ((SWidth/LWidth)*100); // Resize to canvas area width
   activeDocument.activeLayer.resize(percentageChange,percentageChange,AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
else {
   var percentageChange = ((SHeight/LHeight)*100); // resize to canvas area height
   activeDocument.activeLayer.resize(percentageChange,percentageChange,AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
app.preferences.interpolation = userResampleMethod; // Reset interpolation setting
