Thanks to Mr Bieber too for the explanations and for the triathlon image, I agree with it.
As already said, I would be grateful for any advice about getting any reference to the functions DoAction, Export, etc. I am also wondering how, in the following code (source again : https://vsfxryan.com/portfolio/python-photoshop-action-scripts/), the programer can know that code "13" refers to PNG, etc. : #png save options options = win32com.client.Dispatch('Photoshop.ExportOptionsSaveForWeb') options.Format = 13 # PNG options.PNG8 = True # Sets it to PNG-8 bit Again, if these questions are too basic or the needed answers too elaborated, just forget it ; I have a lot to learn :) De : "Dennis Lee Bieber" <wlfr...@ix.netcom.com> A : python-win32@python.org Date : 25.07.2019 18:43 Objet : Re: [python-win32] DoAction problem Envoyé par : "python-win32" <python-win32-bounces+sylvain.fejoz=ville-ge...@python.org> On Thu, 25 Jul 2019 11:58:59 +0200, sylvain.fe...@ville-ge.ch declaimed the following: > >My inspiration : >Web page explaining a Python code using pywin32 : >https://vsfxryan.com/portfolio/python-photoshop-action-scripts/, but I do >not want to define functions, I am too much beginner for this. > For someone "new to Python and coding" you are asking to compete in a triathlon (invoking internal operations of an external program using pywin32), and without knowing how to shoot a gun (writing stand-alone programs using basic operations). Defining functions is basic to any programming language, along with looping and conditional branching. >Problematic code : >#run action script which opens the file, convert it to jpg, save and close >it. >psApp.DoAction( actionScript, 'jpg_q8') > >Error message : >NameError: name 'actionScript' is not defined > So did you really read the linked web page? "actionScript" is a parameter passed into the example function. -=-=-=- def edit_File( actionScript, imagePath, saveDir, psApp ): <SNIP> #run action script psApp.DoAction( actionScript, 'WaterMark') #save doc.Export(ExportIn=newSave, ExportAs=2, Options=options) return doc -=-=-=- See how it is the first parameter given to edit_File... Now, find where edit_File is used and you find... -=-=-=- def processFiles( files, saveDir, psApp ): for file in files: #determine what actionscript to run based off folder name (all lower case) if 'btmleft' in file.lower(): doc = edit_File( 'BtmLeft', file, saveDir, psApp ) elif 'btmcenter' in file.lower(): doc = edit_File( 'BtmCenter', file, saveDir, psApp ) elif 'btmright' in file.lower(): doc = edit_File( 'BtmRight', file, saveDir, psApp ) #close image without saving doc.Close(2) # Close PSD without saving psApp.Quit() -=-=-=- See how the first argument given to edit_File is a STRING with the name of the PS script to be invoked... Or as explained in the text of the web page: """Next, we run our action script, this is where the name of the action script comes in handy. psApp.DoAction(“ScriptName”, “FolderName”) That is how you run your action script.
