  Script check if the item selected is a folder

  Posted by Martin Jean-sébastien on July 8, 2015 at 9:13 am

  Hello,
  In one of my script, I need to be sure that the item selected in the project is a folder. I tried :
  if(myItems.item(j) instanceof FolderItem){

  but it does not work.

  Any idea?

  Thanks!

  It’s not clear how you defined myItems, but this works for me:

  
var myItems = app.project.selection;
if ((myItems.length) > 0 && (myItems[0] instanceof FolderItem)){
alert ("folder selected");
}
