Re: Get Source Filename

Thanks Dan! I never knew about unescape either. I thought I was going to have to write a replacement function to decode all of the special characters. Thanks!!

Closing Layers

Whenever I generate a shape layer and add a dashed stroke to it, it expands all of the contents of that layer. Is there a way to "close" a layer back up so that it looks a little neater at the completion of the script? Thanks!

Thanks! var fileName = new Array(); var fileFrameRate = new Array(); var fileDuration = new Array(); var displayList = new Array(); for (var i = 0; i < selectedFiles.length; i++) {...

Display Dialog with List

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out how to display a dialog that pops up with information about selected footage items. Basically you'd select all your footage in the project panel, run the script and a window pops up showing you a spreadsheet like display with properties like name, framerate, duratio...
