Scripting multiple names

2011-08-05T17:14:00.035-05:00

Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to script multiple names

For this tutorial you will need the following:

TJP-MakeTags.zip

Notepad

PSP

Lets get started

Copy the TJP-MakeTags script into

My Documents\My PSP Files\Scripts-Trusted

Open Notepad and enter names - one on each line

Save it where you'll remember

I've saved mine in my My Documents folder as ScriptingNames

Open the tag you'd like to script in PSP

Make sure there is no name on it like so:

Save your blank tag where you'll remember it

Make sure to save it as a .pspimage

I've kept a separate folder with blank tags just for scripting

Make sure that the Script toolbar is open

To do that go to View - Toolbars - Script

Click on your Text tool

Choose your font, size, color, etc

Click on the Record button on the Script Toolbar

Click on your tag and type out the word Background

Position it where you would like

Make sure you create your text layer as a vector layer

When you are happy with the position, click the Save Script Recording button

Save it in the same place where you saved the TJP-MakeTags script

My Documents\My PSP Files\Scripts-Trusted

I saved mine as my tag name with a 1 behind it

Click the record button again

Convert your text layer to a raster layer

Now add any formatting like bevel & dropshadow

Make sure to Merge Visible all layers

Click on the save button again

Save it in the same place as your first script

I used my tag name with a 2 behind it

Go to your script toolbar

Choose your first script from the drop down menu

Click on the feather icon right next to the play button

In the dialog box that pops up, click the Text Editor button

This will open your script in Notepad

Add the following lines after def Do(Environment):

Results = App.Do(Environment, 'ReturnLayerProperties')

TagName = Results['General']['Name']

Make sure that both lines are in line with the rest of the text

See my screenshot below

Scroll to the bottom

Find this line:

'Characters': u'Background',

Change it to:

'Characters': TagName,

Save and close Notepad

In PSP go to your script toolbar again

Choose the TJP-MakeTags script

Click on the feather icon again

If prompted, select Text Editor again

In Notepad scroll down until you see this:

This next part might seem overwhelming, but it's not too bad

There are screenshots below to show you what it should look like

Ok... Here it goes. Are you ready?

The first thing you are going to do is tell the script

where your name list is. Make sure to have the full path

Next you are going to tell the script

what tag you are using. Make sure you link to the blank tag.

Remember that we put a script together that will add the name

Next you are going to tell the script how you want to

save your tag. If you choose to leave this part blank

the script will save all tags made as the name only so

if you save your tags a certain way, make sure to fill this in

If you want to add anything after the tag name

you can place that after strFileSuffix

Next you are going to put the name of the first script created

All you need is the file name

Next you are going to put the name of the second script created

Next you are going to choose what file format to save in

Example: JPEG, PNG

I always save mine as PNG (option 4)

Lastly you are going to tell the script where to save the tags

Be sure to put the full path to the folder

Save the script and close Notepad

Select the TJP-MakeTags script and press play

That's it!!

If you have any problems or errors please feel free

to e-mail me a screenshot of the script output and

I'll take a look. You can also comment here with any issues.

Good luck and happy scripting!
