[Script] WhiteSpaceCtxMenu

[highend]

I was originally informed to put the full path of Ps

Put it where?

I get is a dubious error

Which is?

Seriously, is this some kind of game show?

I after going back and forth quite a bit I lost rack that you were using the variable (via heredoc) in this case. When you want to open a menu especially when you have multiple menu items to select from, you want to use the variable created using heredoc, $psd. So you use the load statement to load the script hence load statement of: [CASE1 - using variable created using heredoc]

Code: Select all

elseif($selext LikeI "psd") {load "$psd", , s; end (1)}

Whereas,when you simply want to open the selected psd type file in Photoshop with no menu (i.e., menu not necessary since all you want to do is run the selected file with only one program, Photoshop - no other choices). This is what I did for the XYS files and AHK file in the example script. You don't see variables/heredoc statements for these because there's no need. There's no menu - the specified program will open the the selected file immediately.[CASE 2 - no variable created using heredoc]

Code: Select all

elseif($selext LikeI "psd") {openwith "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Photoshop.exe"; end(1);} 

The first case works like the second case in this situation (showing no menu) because you only have one menu item. XY will run the one menu item immediately as I've already stated. Does that help clarify?

Highend, I'm really trying to be good but I'm close...

When you say the first case and second case, what code are you referring too, so we can refresh this thread for clarity ?

You say both snippets of code should work; in practice only one is working, that one being this; which I don't understand the syntax.

Code: Select all

elseif($selext LikeI "psd") {load "$psd", , s; end (1)}

It should be irrelevant regardless what snippet of code I use, as from my perception we both know all PSD files should strictly open in Ps, with no menu, as I said previously, I will be adding a menu but that is in progress, that is not happening as stated.

Don't know why you're still trying

I know about being precise; you want a screenshot !

Look at the first post CookieMonster. What you posted is nothing like that. I had a heredoc to create $txt variable. You are butchering the script and expecting it to work. You can't pick and choose lines of code and through them together. As highend stated, coding has to be exact. The smallest mistake results in the script failing. I know, I've been learning from scratch with no computer background.

Edit: So in looking at the above you must have left lines out of the posted code. I don't have PhotoShop, but I tested the elseif's similar to the 'psd' code line with other programs and they ran fine.
@highend could it be quoting in this case (needing triple in lieu of single quotes)...it does run for CookieMonster using the $psd variable created with heredoc with "load $psd, ,s"

[CookieMonster]

This was the code in the original post, considering, I didn't need all of this code, it was reduced, you posted a reduced version of the code with only the heredoc for text files and I created the heredoc for psd files.

I've never touched the code besides juggling with quotation marks. Look at this post http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 75#p126058, the only difference in the code is you did not declare an absolute path for Ps; declaring an absolute path should work, no ?

I don't see any dubious error warnings when executing that code, regardless if Syntax Checking is on or off... and it works fine when a .psd is selected...

Your link leads exactly to the code that I'm commenting on...

Why, when I have a PSD selected, then right-click on white space do I get the error I posted here http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 90#p126081 ?
