PSE 7 scripting support

Question

One of the things that was introduced in PS 7 was the support for scripting using Javascript. It was an incredible addition when a user needed to automate repetitive tasks on a large number of files. I have found some very useful ones on the Internet and modified them for my personal needs and now I would like to make use of them in PSE 7.
The installation places a Photomerge.jsx file and a "Stack Scripts Only" directory under Presets\Scripts but there is no mention on how to execute them or add new ones.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello there. I am glad to see someone else has discovered that scripting works in photoshop elements. I have been using java scripting in elements since pse 4. The easiest way to run and test scripts is to drag and drop just like you do image files. There are two ways that i use scripts, the first being using actions to call scripts. Using this method enables you to put the actions in your effects palette. The second way is to place scripts into automate menu. The following is a script to place smart objects. At the top of the script is is how to name the script so it shows up in the automate menu. Just put this script into your scripts folder and restart elements and it should show in automate menu. This only works in pse6 and pse7.  If you have acess to photoshop then you can use the script listener to get the code for different functions that are not recorded in actions. Many of the same limitations apply to scripts as they do to actions in elements in that some functions just don't work. Of course there are always work arounds, you just have to be creative and think outside the box as they say. The stack scripts you refer to are linked to the photomerge script and don't do anything by themselves. They are the functions for the photomerge script. Photoshop cs3 and cs4 include documentation on scripting or you can find them at the link above. Over in the photoshop forums is a scripting forum and also a forum on internet called ps scripts, although i don't know how much they know about elements, alot of the stuff still applys to elements.  Hope some of this helps.
