[Script] Object/Selection - Size and Position

Post by LeviFiction »

Script Name: ObjectPositionAndSize, EditObjectPositionAndSize
Download Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1J_OuLA_fmJNZznH4EXZcmlsFFNKCZsI6/view?usp=sharing
Compatibility: 9 - 2013 (tested in 2023)
Requirements: Place in Scripts-Trusted Folder

This Zip file includes 2 scripts. One that simply reports the current location and size of any selected layer or object, and the Edit script which lets you specify an exact location and size for any object. The design mimics the Object Properties dialog in PhotoImpact.

Version History:
V2.1 - Fixed 2 aspect ratio bugs, added support for selections in "Edit Selection" mode.
V2.0 - Added the Dialog to scale and move selected items by exact values
V1.0 - Initial Script released

I tested both scripts and found that width of object is in one script set as 300 and in second read as 299 px.

There will be rounding errors, and part of that is returned directly by PSP. I eventually just decided to let it go.

UPDATE: Fixed 2 bugs related to aspect ratio. First it was using an aspect ratio of the image not the individual layers or selected items. Second I made a typo in the function to keep the aspect ratio when the height textbox was edited.
Added the ability to resize Selections in the "Edit Selection" mode.
