ArtboardsFromCSV

The script creates artboards vertically in the document using information from CSV tables. The size of the artboards is calculated in units from Preferences → Units & Rulers.
Based on Kristian Andersen's script, 2017.

ClearLayer

Simple script to clear layers content.

ExportPathsToAi

Exports all visible vector layers from .psd to a .ai file in the same folder as the original file. Known Photoshop restrictions:

• paths are exported unfilled
• reverse paths order. To fix this, select the paths in Illustrator and click Reverse Order in the Layers panel

GeneratePreview

Generate JPG preview image from active document. Supports multiple saving with auto-numbering. If you want to change JPG size, edit number in script file var jpegSizeMax = 1200.

MultiEditText

Multi-editing of selected text layers. The script allows you to enter the same text, replace the current text layer content or add the entered text to the current one.

• Edit Separately - edit contents of frames separately, contents are separated by @@@@ symbols.
• List by XY - sort the order of texts by their position, otherwise they will be displayed in order in layers
• Reverse Apply - replace contents in reverse order

Tip

If you want to change the size of the text area, open the script file with a text editor and change the CFG width: 300 and height: 210 to another value. The key to displaying different content is ph: '<text>' and the text divider divider: '\n@@@@@\n', where \n is a line break. softBreak: '@#' — soft line break char.
For a line break (new paragraph), use Ctrl + Enter on a PC or Enter on Mac OS. To insert a soft line break chat (no paragraph indent), press Shift + Enter.
