Just one thing: there are async double quotes!

After first substitution of outer quotes the rest will be:
"$photoshop "<curitem>"
I don't think this is intended?

Thanks for your reply, i needed to open a Jpeg file three times here i need to know how many times i have used or worked in the Jpeg file, whether it is twice or once or thrice

Thank you

I think it's impossible. How can you discern if a file has been modified once or twice or thrice?
Maybe storing the modified date in a database, but seems impractical and not fully reliable.

Sure it can be done.

Just read the tags before you set one.

No tags = never opened
Only red = opened once
Red & blue = opened twice
Red & blue & green = three times

Set the tags accordingly.

He just asked for "opened", not modified
As an alternative, the comment could be modified...

Assuming he always uses the script to load/open such files, right?

You are right brother, how to do that in user defined commands open with photoshop using the same script.

Thank you

Labels are exclusive, so you can't colorize a file with more than one color.

So:

Code: Select all

    $photoshop = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Photoshop.exe";
    run """$photoshop"" ""<curitem>""";
    $label = report("{Label}", "<curitem>");
    if($label == "") {
        tag "Green";
    } elseif($label == "Green") {
        tag "Orange";
    } elseif($label == "Orange") {
        tag "Red";
    }

Depending on how often you've executed that script on a specific file, it will set the label to green, orange and on the third time, red.

Missing double quotes fixed.
