I’m trying to figure out how to grab the caption from a photoshop cs file and dump it into a variable. I see that it’s possible to import text into the caption field. But I want to grab the exisiting text from the caption and put it into a variable.
Thank you!
Nevermind, i got it!
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS"
tell current document
set infoCaption to (caption of info) as text
end tell
end tell
i just wrote an applescript that allows you do this: Select a picture box in Quark. Run the script, and it will automatically open the file in photoshop, grab the caption from the file info, close the photoshop document, and then copy the caption to your clipboard. SUH-WEET!
tell application "QuarkXPressâ„¢"
tell document 1
set filePath to file path of image 1 of current box
if filePath is not null then
set filePath to filePath as alias
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS"
open filePath
try
set infoCaption to (caption of info) as text
tell application "Finder"
set the clipboard to infoCaption
end tell
end try
close current document saving no
end tell
end if
end tell
end tell
