Return Crop Tool Position

[Dave_SMR]

I have a script that starts from a user set crop area, applies the crop and adds some borders. I'd like to know the offset of the defined crop area when it first runs. Is this possible?

Yes and no. Mostly no. xD Yet more fun with PSP scripting. PSP rarely has any access to current at the moment information about the state of the program. The active location of a tool for example is not known.

Now, if they have applied the crop before then you can grab the previously used settings and use those. But that's about it.

So, if you tell your user to set the crop, apply it and then undo the crop you can find out what that value was.

That could be useful. How do I grab those previously used values?

This is taken the AddBordersAndSelect Script.

Code: Select all

    # now call GetCommandInfo to extract the last used parameters.
    Info = App.Do(Environment,  'GetCommandInfo', {
                'TargetCmd': 'AddBorders',
                'ParamInfo': App.Constants.ParamInfo.LastUsed
                } )
    
    # command parameters are stored in a key consisting of library name and command name
    CmdParam = Info[ 'Library' ] + '\\' + Info['Name']
    Params = Info[CmdParam] # get a simpler dictionary to work with

Just change the 'TargetCmd' parameter to the command you want to get the last settings of. And Params will hold a dictionary of all of the parameters.
