Hello,
I am working on a similar problem. I want to use the Image Processor to automatically crop 12000 files and save them as jpg in an identical file tree.
I looked around and found a few scripts. Depending on your needs - this could be a solution, but it only leaves one image open. In my case bigger than 1850 pixels - you would have to adjust that. I have set it to more than half my original canvas, so that only one image stays open. If you can't do that you would have to find a smarter way to close all but one images. I didn't write the routine to look for the biggest image either - I copied it from here:
Please note, that I have not done any scripting before and just have spent my first few hours adjusting this code - but I thought it might help you.
As far as I found out you cannot rename the activeDocument, but only do a saveAs to "rename" it - so I save my files to the trash in minimum quality, but you would have to adjust the path if you are not on OS-X or some Unix derivate. I'm sure there is an OS independent way, but I don't know it yet. I will keep you posted if I find out more.
It is doing what you want I think, but the image processor doesn't want to process the files when I run an action that executes this script, so it doesn't solve my problem.
Hopefully someone can help me correcting this.
Cheers - Robert.
Code:
// crop and straighten - close files below either certain width or height in pixels - rename to original filename;
// use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
app.bringToFront;
var originalRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var theDocument = app.activeDocument;
var origDocName = theDocument.name;
var docCount = app.documents.length;
// crop and straighten;
var idCropPhotosAutozerozerozeroone = stringIDToTypeID( "CropPhotosAuto0001" );
executeAction( idCropPhotosAutozerozerozeroone, undefined, DialogModes.ALL );
// close the original without saving only if cropAndStraughten created new documents
if(app.documents.length > docCount) theDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
// close any open images below sizes;
var theDocs = app.documents;
var originalRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
// iterate through open files;
for (var m = theDocs.length - 1; m >= 0; m--) {
var theDoc = theDocs[m];
app.activeDocument = theDoc;
var theWidth = theDoc.width;
var theHeight = theDoc.height;
// for closing files below certain width and height change || to &&;
if (theWidth < 1850 || theHeight < 1850) {
theDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)
}
else {}
};

Hello,
very Funny Paul - I'm totally on it though. I'm Austrian/Aussie, so it's just a long way from one place to the other :-).
It was really awesome of you to respond so quickly, although I didn't really ask for a solution yet - that's what I call good service. I actually planned on getting a bit better with scripting - then my questions would appear a bit more informed at least.
I tried the script you supplied - and it worked great - did right just what I wanted. I have done 2000 pictures that were somewhat more urgent, but I have 10000 to go and there will be a lot more. I converted a slide projector into a slide copier, so all the family friends want their slides copied now.
So I thought I could make the code better as an exercise. The problem is the following:
If the crop and straighten fails this script either puts in half a picture, or just a thin strip (if it has more than 1850 px on on side) - or even worse - if just saves nothing, as it has closed all images, so I have to manually hunt the missing images.
My plan was to get good enough to multiply height x width, so it actually demands a minimum pictures size and if this is not met go back and open die original image again and save it without cropping - so I don't have to copy them in manually again. Would that be an appropriate/usual method to find the picture size ? First thing for me would be to find out how I let this for loop open the same image again and do a saveAS into the file tree using your function instead of exiting - I think that would be an easy enough task for a beginner... hopefully.
Also I am using dng - so I might have to get my head around the CameraRAWOpenOptions.CameraRAWSize, so that it opens them always in jpg sRGB 8 bit original size (4416x3312 in my case), but the options in the documentation have 6 steps and my raw tool has 7.
EXTRALARGE=5120 x 4096
LARGE=4096 x 2731
MAXIMUM=6144 X 4096
MEDIUM=3072 x 2048
MINIMUM=1536 x 1024
SMALL=2048 x 1365
vs... see attached.
I am a bit confused there, but I am majorly confused about the syntax and scripting in general :-D - so it might take a while until I can come back to you and ask for more help.
I thank you all very much so far - it will be quite an effort for me to get my head around scripting, but with your help I am confident.
Cheers - Rob.
PS: will attach and image that crop and straighten usually fails on, so that you see what I was working on and it gets more tangible.

I changed the code a tiny bit - making my first step. I don't need file numbering, so I commented it out, but I know this is not actually the way it's done. Just so that you can see how bad I am still
I do need some help right now:
I am using the extendScripot toolkit and I can't work out how the console works. I want to do "step into" and see what value my variables have while the code runs from step to step - how can this be done ?
Thanks a lot.
Cheers - Rob.
