This should do the job...
| Code: |
main();
function main(){
var Name = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
var Ext = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).replace(/^.*\./,'');
if(Ext.toLowerCase() != 'psd') return;
var Path = app.activeDocument.path;
var saveFile = File(Path + "/" + Name +".png");
if(saveFile.exists) saveFile.remove();
SavePNG(saveFile);
}
function SavePNG(saveFile){
pngSaveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
}
|
save the code as a fileName.jsx and place it into
application presets/scripts/Events Scripts Only folder
Now, in Photoshop
File - Scripts -Scripts Event Manager
Tick Enable Events to Run Scripts/Actions
Select Photoshop Event "Save Document"
In the next dropdown box select your new script and click add.
Now every time you do a save, the script will check if it is a "psd" document, if it is it will save a png with the same name to the same location. |
