    Hi,
    I’m trying with pthotoshop scripting in JavaScript.
    Could anyone help me with this, please ?
    What I want to know is the next question about selections.
    The selection class has a property called “bounds” that returns the entire selected area as a rectangle. But… is there any way to get the selected area as a polygon, traced with the polygonal lasso tool ????????????

    Thanks in advance.

    You can use the listener plug-in to record a polygon lasso selection, or record creating a path and creating a selection from it.

    How does one turn this auto feature off?
    I’ve followed the script manual and think I’ve done everything to stop this from recording logs.
    There is no entry in PS Automatic.
    I’ve altered the file name in Utilities,
    Delete all files from Extendscript tool kit,
    And yet, PShop generates long Script logs for everything I do.
    Plus, it is running a script or scripts from somewhere because it says something to the effect, “no camera information available”
    Thanks

    All you should have to do is remove the ScriptListner plug-in from Plug-ins folder.

    Thank you. One would think so. I followed the instruction, it is not in Automate.
    Here’s what the scripting guide says:

    Note: In Windows, even though you remove the ScriptListener from the Automate folder, it may continue
    to record actions. To prevent the ScriptingListenerJS.log file from becoming too large, delete it
    each time you finish playing a Photoshop CS3 action.

    Swell.
    This logs whenever I operate PShop CS3!
    What about what it says about Actions? I don’t have any of those going either, I don’t think anyway. Is there something to tweek on Actions?
