Reference to documents

Question

Hi all,
for my workflow I need to open the low res and high res in Photoshop and do some stuff.
The two docs have same name.
How I can get the reference to a low res and reference to high res, so I can switch for make my stuff to one or another doc?
Because they have the same name the normal reference is the same for the two docs.

I know this. It's a second-rate implementation of unix links. Or whatever the
Mac equivalent is called. Or maybe its VMS baggage. I really don't remember.

Try this.
1) Create a folder on your desktop called 'example'.
2) Copy a file into it called 'file.jpg' (or whatever).
3) Place a reference to a file in it called 'file.jpg'.
3) Do a 'dir' on the command line in that folder. You will see two files.
4) Then, in PS do this:
alert(Folder(Folder.desktop + "/example").getFiles().join('\r'))
That sure looks like there are two files in the same folder with the same name.
And unless your script is actually checking for the File.alias property, it
won't know because it doesn't see that decrepit '.lnk' extension.
Junctions on XP are much better implementation of the idea, but they have
limitations as well. And some apps (like Acronis True Image, for instance) get
really confused when you have junctions across partitions or hard drives.
