identifying Photoshop or Illustrator layers in Project
Posted: May 25th, 2014, 12:24 pm
Hello!
I am working on a re-linking script that is working very well so far. The only blind spot of this script is that I am unable to correctly change the linking of a project item that is an unmerged photoshop or Illustrator layer. Linking the item to a different yet identical PSD via scripting just connects it to the merged PSD. For that matter, is there any way to accurately identify a project item as an unmerged psd or ai layer? Currently my script identifies them by their file extensions and by identifying the '/' in the item name, and skips them leaving the re-linking up to the user. Certainly not airtight for those who like to rename items in their project window.
The goal of my script is to take a collected aep and re-link all footage items back to their original assets. Any help is appreciated!
