vScriptListener v1.1
What it does

Gives additional control over the ScriptListener plugin from within Photoshop. If you don't know what the ScriptListener plugin is for you probably don't need to use this script.

Getting Started

Run the script from Photoshop's File/Scripts menu. You can also set up a keyboard shortcut for the script through the Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts... menu.

Installing the ScriptListener plugin

If the ScriptListener plugin is already installed as a plugin the script will find it automatically - you can proceed to the Options part of the help. If the plugin was not found the script will walk you through making it useable if the file was installed with Photoshop (it should be part of the default installation, but not as a plugin). Once installed you will need to restart Photoshop for it to recognise the plugin.

Options

When the options open you will see two almost identical columns - each representing an ouput log from ScriptListener. The one labled JS is the log for Javascript/Extendscript, the one labled VB is the log for VBScript. When the word "Locked" is beside the Label it means the logfile cannot be written to - when both logfiles are locked Script Listener is effectively disabled and will not write any information tot eh log files. The following options are identical for both Log files

Lock/Unlock Output
Allows Script Listener to write information to the log file. Every recordable action in Photoshop is written to the log file when it is unlocked. Clicking the button toggles the file between locked and unlocked.

Clear Logfile
Only available when the logfile is unlocked. Does exactly what it says - erases all the data from the Log after verifying you really want to do so.

Open Logfile
Opens the logfile in your default Plain Text editor for easy access to its output.

Log Size
Simply reports the current size of the Log File in MB. Smaller Logfiles will show up as 0MB if they are less than 0.1MB in size.

Done
Exits the options leaving the changes made intact.
