the script is lock in to the way it was recorded. There's no options for making adjustments as it runs.
With Scripting you can create those options and adjustment automatically.
I'm sharing my Basic Starter script for anyone who learning how to edit their scripts for the first time, so they
can get the most out of their work. There just some things that a scripts needs, to make them better.
Here I have done all the basic work for you, collecting the most useful information you'll need to get started
editing your scripts. I use this script to help me get the most out of my ideas.
What does this script do for you....
1. Clear script window out put.
2. Check to see if you have an open image to work with.
3. Display a copy right window.
4. Make sure the open image is on a single layer.
5. Gets image size in Pixels
6. Gets image size in Inches
7. Calculates the center locations for each size of image
8. Has a Paint-shop Pro Version checker
All the basic numbers you'll need to get started.
At the end of the script are Paint Shop Pro Environmental Run commands that return
all information about an open image (EXIF) and the syntax command (the keys) that calls them out. To use them,
just remove the "#" comment syntax from each line and run script. Make sure you have the script
output window open to see what's available to use.
You may use this script freely with any of your script. Do not sell it, but share it as is.
Your welcome to change any of the information to meet your needs including the Copyright on line 63.
And happy scripting
