Script: rename layers?
Hi, is there a quick way how to renumber or batch rename all layers in a file so they would be named in consequent numbers? Doesn't have to start from exact number, I was wondering if maybe there is some sort of script that would help me with that? Thanks Pavel
Thank you for the script. It is very useful.
Could you help me with one thing? If I want to add letters "ca" in front of the number, where should I add "ca" and how to do that?
The present script is 1, 2, 3, 4... on each layer.
I want the script to be ca1, ca2, ca3, ca4... on each layer.
Please help me out.

Latest PS CC, generator bug when renaming layers
OS: Win7 64bit
Problem:
I can't rename layers while photshop is generating assets. I have a big web layout PSD file with hundrets of layers, 74 of them are named so PS generates them as assets. When "Generate Assets" is checked, photoshop aborts every attempt to rename any layer by itself and writes a "color change" to the protocol.
I uploaded a gif file to illustrate what is happening: https://i.imgur.com/u3vBFje.gif
On the left is my layers pallet, on the right is the protocol panel. Everytime I double click to rename a layer, the edit is aborted and the protocol shows "color change".
This bug is immensely frustrating, since the only workaround is to wait some time until photoshop has finished generating the assets. When I uncheck "Generate Assets", the bug appears as well, since photoshop deletes all the assets in the folder.
I noticed that the same bug appears when you use the "Remote connection" feature, everytime photoshop sends an update to a remotely connected device, the layer naming is aborted. Maybe these bugs are related, you guys should check for that.
Thanks and kind regardssystem info dump:

Is There An Extension that Renames Layers Based on Movie Clip Names of Files
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew of an extension that could
rename layers on the main time line based on the movie clip names
that are found on the time line. I have a client file that is
absolutely huge but all the layers are just named Layer followed by
random numbers.
I have seen extensions that clean up the library but never
one that cleans layer names.fcastro75,

the

though.

importance. [...]
If you're still watching this thread, I have a few more
questions for
you. :) I finally have some time to play with this script,
and there's a
twist I didn't think of earlier.
Here's how JSFL works in regard to your particular aim:
a) Get the current timeline.
b) Get the layers of that timeline.
c) Get the *frames* inside each layer.
d) Get the elements inside each frame.
The twist is C, and it adds considerable complexity to this
script. You
might have a layer with 100 frames on it, and each frame has
a different mc
(or graphic, or text field, etc.) on it. What on earth should
this layer be
named? In your previous post, you suggested this:
> Layers that have multiple instances should read
multi-item.
That may well mean that feasibly half of your layers say
"multi-item" in
then, even if a given layer only has two separate items on it
(one graphic
symbol spanned from frames 50 to 80, and another graphic
symbol spanned from
frames 200 to 550).
Even if we were to increment the names of these, you could
easily get 30
layers in a row named "multi-item (1)", "multi-item (2)",
"multi-item (3)",
and so on. Seems to me like that wouldn't be any more helpful
than what you
have now.
One approach -- much easier to program, as it happens --
would be to
simply stop at the first frame in a layer that has content at
all, and name
the layer after that.
e.g.
"instanceName" (moveiclip) [1]
... where "instanceName" is the element's instance name,
(movieclip) is the
element's type, and [1] is the occurence of that element. If
that layer
contains any additional content -- either on that frame, or
subsequent
frames, we could add that "multi-item" phrase, like this:
"instanceName" (moveiclip) [1] multi-item
This way, in cases where the designer only used on element
in a layer,
you'd get a meaningful indication of that. In cases where the
designer used
several, you'd at least get an indication of the first one,
with a hint that
others exist.
Whatcha think?

Rename layers with layer 1, layer 2 till and layer N
My Name is Sathya Murthy
I have psd files with many layers each with different names
I want to rename the layer which i have selected using right click with name Layer 1
Next layer which I right click with layer 2 and so on till layer N
and layers with are left out without renaming should be put in a new layer set or group in layers separately in the same file.
which i have opened
and layers should be arranged like this
till Layer N
Layer 4
Layer 3
Layer 2
Layer 1
Group or Layer Set
Background
I hope you understand what i am saying
I want scripting for that action as I have more files to rename layers so by using scripts i can work little bit faster
anyone knowing please help
Thanks In Advance
Sathya MurthyI don’t think one can select Layers in the Layers Panel or on the Canvas while a Script is running.
One could select the Layers via a dialog, but that would take focus and need to present a list of the Layers.
Alternatively it might be possible to set up a work-around by selecting a Layer, invoking a Script (either by Keyboard Shortcut or from a Configurator Panel) that stores data (the activeLayer in this case), repeating that as often as needed and at the end of the selection process trigger another Script (or possibly the same with the shift-key pressed) that then processes that stored information.
But maybe someone else has more insightr or a better idea. -
Can't rename Layers in Flash CS4
When I double click on a layer name the editable text field appears for a fraction of a second, then disappears.
The only way around this is to right click and change the name in Properties... which isn't very convenient esp. since "Properties" is at the bottom of the list and the timeline is also at the bottom of the screen.
At one point, this problem resolved itself. Not sure what I did to fix it. But recently I had to trash my preferences and now the problem is back.
Can anyone help?Using CS4 on Visat Ultimate.
I closed Behaviors and Actions in the Classic workspace and still couldn't rename layers.
I switched to Essentials workspace and then could rename layers.
Then switched back to Classic and could still rename layers.
Haven't reopened Behaviors or Actions, though.
Why doesn't Adobe fix this stuff?
And add Type on a Path at the same time!

Hi,
Does the report script Rename function also work for an attribute dimension member?
Thanks,

Scripts / Export Layers to Files / Include Background Layer
Running the script Export Layers to files.
Need to keep one layer on that is applied to all the layers (I have a stroke on the top layer I would like applied to all the images that are saved out.)
How do I modify the script for this?
Thanks!
KenAdapting that Script might be somewhat difficult as it is pretty bulky.
But if its always the topmost layer thats supposed to stay visible and You know which format You want to save the resulting files to beforehand something much smaller may suffice.
You might try this, but I havent tested it extensively:
#target photoshop;
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
// get the name and location;
var docName = myDocument.name;
var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
var docPath = myDocument.path;
// get the artlayers and remove the topmost;
var allArtLayers = collectLayers(myDocument);
var theTopmost = allArtLayers.pop();
// hide all but the topmost layer;
for (var n = 0; n < allArtLayers.length; n++ ) {
allArtLayers[n].visible = false
for (var m = 0; m < allArtLayers.length; m++ ) {
// show the layer;
allArtLayers[m].visible = true;
// tiff options;
tifOpts = new TiffSaveOptions();
tifOpts.embedColorProfile = true;
tifOpts.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW;
tifOpts.alphaChannels = false;
tifOpts.byteOrder = ByteOrder.MACOS ;
tifOpts.layers = true;
// duplicate the image;

How can I get the script Export Layers to Files to export compressed pngs?
I would love to be able to take advantage of Photoshop's compressed png when using the script Export Layers to Files. I there a way I could modify the script to do this?
TIA!!!
========================
I found it ... I needed to add a line to the pngSaveOptions (around line #886) ...
var saveFile = new File(exportInfo.destination + "/" + fileNameBody + ".png");
pngSaveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
pngSaveOptions.interlaced = false;
// trying to compress png files
pngSaveOptions.compression = 9;
docRef.saveAs(saveFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
break;
=========================It does. The standalone XML Export was only offered by itself
in the
registration incentives. Sorry.

Is there a script for renaming layers in ID CS5?
Hello,
I am new to scripting (I just started today) so far I have found some very useful existing scripts to help automate my workflow. I am wondering if anyone knows of the existence of a layer renaming script for InDesign.
I have seen similar scripts for PS. I want to learn how to script but I am in need of this one for Monday...
Thanks in advance!Antonio:
Please remember that we're all volunteers here. If you can ask your question so we can understand it, we can probably help you. But if you cannot, it would take quite a lot of effort on our part to even determine what you asking.
Jongware wrote in the other thread:
This is quite a specialized case so it's unlikely there "is" a script. But there "could be" one. Ask in the scripting forum, as there are some people in there sharpening their skills with such requests. Make sure to detail what you need it to do: which layers? rename to what? Et cetera.
You're not doing a good job on detail. How would the script know what to change your first, 3rd, 4th, and 5th "atoms" to?
You have given us no information that I can see. -
Script to rename layers comps batch?
Does anyone know any script to rename batch comps layers in a sequential numbering? For example: layerComps01, layerComps02, layerComps03 ...
// 2014, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
for (var m = 0; m < myDocument.layerComps.length; m++) {
myDocument.layerComps[m].name = "comp"+bufferNumberWithZeros(m+1, 2)
////// buffer number with zeros //////
function bufferNumberWithZeros (number, places) {
var theNumberString = String(number);
for (var o = 0; o < (places - String(number).length); o++) {
theNumberString = String("0" + theNumberString)
return theNumberString -
PS3 script to batch rename layers
Sometimes, I make copies of layers (for example: copy little diamonds to align into a shape of the letter M). Each time I "alt+drag" the content in that layer (to make a copy of it), PS makes a copy and then appends the name of the layer to something like "diamond copy 3". After making a ton of copies (and because I'm anal about having actual names for each layer), I want each layer to read "diamond". Instead of manually renaming all these layers, is there a way to highlight the affected layers and choose to rename all layers according to what you want?
Try this. Just select the layers you want 'copy' removed from and run this script.
if( app.documents.length > 0 ){
app.activeDocument.suspendHistory('Rename selected layers','removeCopyFromSelectedLayersNames()');
function removeCopyFromLayerName(){
if( getSelectedLayersIdx().length > 1 ){
var selectedLayers = getSelectedLayersIdx();
makeActiveByIndex( selectedLayers[0], false );
var startLoop = Number( !hasBackground() );
var endLoop = getNumberOfLayer() + 1;
for( var l = startLoop;l < endLoop; l++){
while( !isValidActiveLayer( l ) ) {
l++;
var oldName = getLayerNameByIndex( l );
var newName = oldName.replace(/\scopy\s?\d*$/i,'');
putLayerNameByIndex( l, newName )
if( selectedLayers != undefined ) makeActiveByIndex( selectedLayers, false );
function removeCopyFromSelectedLayersNames(){
var selectedLayers = getSelectedLayersIdx();
for( var l = 0;l < selectedLayers.length; l++){
var oldName = getLayerNameByIndex( selectedLayers[ l ] );
var newName = oldName.replace(/\scopy.*$/i,'');
makeActiveByIndex( selectedLayers[ l ], false );
putLayerNameByIndex( selectedLayers[ l ], newName )
makeActiveByIndex( selectedLayers, false );

HELP! Need a script for renaming layers
Hi-
I've got an Illustrator CS6 document that has 500+ layers with individual words on them (a word cloud). I'm needing to animate this in AE. When I "Release to Layers (Sequence)", all of the layers become Layer 1, Layer 2, etc. Is there a script that will rename all of those layers to be the text inside them?
i.e. Layer 1 has the word "Pencil" as a sub-layer, editable text.. I need to rename the Top-Layer Layer 1 to "Pencil". I'm hoping there is a script that can do this so I don't have to manually rename all of the layers.
I have found this script:
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var ilayer = idoc.activeLayer;
for (i=0; i<ilayer.layers.length; i++) {
var isublayer = ilayer.layers[i];
isublayer.name = isublayer.pageItems[0].name;
But is doesn't seem to do what I need.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-MarkHi Carlos-

Hi, is there a quick way how to renumber or batch rename all layers in a file so they would be named in consequent numbers? Doesn't have to start from exact number, I was wondering if maybe there is some sort of script that would help me with that? Thanks a lot
This thread is kind of old, but I found JET's script to be extremely useful, and like Steven, I also needed it to start from the bottom layer. So I updated it a little.
Set "fromTop" to "true" if you want it to name the top-most layer #1.
Set "fromTop" to "false" if you want the bottom-most layer to be #1.
////START SCRIPT////
#target Illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var fromTop = true;
// if true, the top layer will be #1
// if false, the bottom layer will #1
renumberLayers(fromTop);
function renumberLayers(fromTop){
var topLayers = docRef.layers;
for(i=0; i<topLayers.length; i++){
var currLayer = topLayers[i];
if(fromTop) var newNum = i + 1;
else var newNum = topLayers.length - i;
currLayer.name="Layer "+newNum;
subLayers= topLayers[i].layers;
for(j=0; j<subLayers.length; j++){
var currSubLayer = subLayers[j];
var newSubNum = subLayers.length - j;
currSubLayer.name="Layer "+ newNum+"."+newSubNum;
subSubLayers=subLayers[j].layers;
for(k=0; k<subSubLayers.length; k++){
var currSubSubLayer = subSubLayers[k];
var newSubSubNum = subSubLayers.length - k;
currSubSubLayer.name="Layer "+ newNum+"."+newSubNum+"."+newSubSubNum;

Script renaming many styles in 5.5
Hi,
I'm a total newbie on this, and I have tried searching the web and this forum ...
I have a ton of documents with hundreds of styles (char, para, cell and object), swatches and layers.
At least the styles need to be renamed when documents are converted from CS3 to CS5.5.
The styles are grouped and also the groups need renaming.
When the new naming structure is in place I want to use a delimited file with oldStyle and newStyle, as well as oldGroup and newGroup as a source. Styles or groups not present should just be skipped, but it would be great if styles not in the replace list could be listed in a separate text file ...
It is not necessary to perform the action on batches of documents, only the open active would be great enough.
Javascript is preferred as I have to cater for both platforms.
I'm not good at any scripting language, so please don't be cryptic.
So if someone is sitting on a readymade solution ... of course I understand I ask for a lot
Cheers
deSkilledThis doesn't sound too difficult, but the solution will depend completely on the structure of your delimited file and of your style groups. Do any of the groups share names with any of the styles? Do any character styles, for instance, share names with any paragraph, cell or object styles, and, if so, will they get the same new name? Are there groups within groups? Will old style "header" in group "A" get a different new name than old style "header" in group "B"? These are the kinds of things you'll have to know before you can begin designing a solution.

Can't rename layers in Muse CC
I used to be able to. What gives? I have rebooted my mac and still nothing. No other programs running. Double clicking does not open the text for renaming.
I totally agree with the frustration of not being able to rename all layers. I have submitted it as an idea for a feature request here: Rename child layers (e.g: Rectangle to banner_fill or whatever!)
Do vote for it and mention it to others who use Muse and get them to vote, even if it is a down vote as would be good to get a better idea of where this lies in terms of user "want", for us and the Muse team.
