i'm currently working on an extends script which is the technology that we can use to create extension for adobe softwares, its a javascript similar script language Im working on a script to automate some boring and repetitive tasks
Here is my problem i've to wait the creation of a bin before use a variable which call this bin but i can't, i tried
.then( Promise => { //Some Code }) ; setTimeout(Function(), time); nothing is working
Can someone help me please ? Here is my code
root = app.project.rootItem
newFilesPath = "Path"
newFilesBin = root.children[0]
app.project.importFiles(newFilesPath, true, newFilesBin, false)
app.project.save()
for(i=0; i<newFilesBin.children.numItems; i++){ //here is the problem it tells me that
newFile = newFilesBin.children[i] //newFilesBin is null, i think he has not the
//time to create the file and then to put it
//in the variable
name = newFile.name
newTiktokBin = root.createBin(name)
root.children[i].children[0].moveBin(newTiktokBin)
}
You can simply send your program to sleep for any amount of milliseconds by using the $.sleep()
method.
$.sleep(1000); // sends the program to sleep for a second
There is no such thing as .then()
or promises in ExtendScript, as it is basically an ancient version of JavaScript.
