[SCRIPT] Choosing the folder destination when duplicating a comp
Hi everyone !
I’m working on a script that duplicates comps and changes the text layers in it with datas from excel sheets. Everything works fine, but I would like to make the project “readable”, because the script creates 500 comps, divided in 30 topics. So I need, when it created a comp, to store it in a previously created folder. Any idea to access it ? It would be a kind of “selection” attribute, but writable.Thanks a lot 🙂

Assuming that you have a variable referencing the folder object, it would be like this:
myComp.parentFolder = myFolder;

I found something interesting by looking in the data navigator on Extendscript !
My compItem has an attribute named “parentFolder”, which is R/W.
When I create folders, I’m storing them into an array, so I can access them by an index.
I just have to set myComp.parentFolder to myFolders[i].id and the job’s done !Thanks all ! Sometimes writting down the question helps finding the answer 🙂
myFolders.push(app.project.items.addFolder(folderName)) ;
myComp.parentFolder = myFolders[0].id ; -
Thanks a lot Dan ! I was writing my answer at the same time. I tryed your solution without the “Folder.id” and it works well !
Have a nice day 🙂
