    Hi all.

    Does anyone have a script that would move all images(in their frames) in a document, to a layer named Images?

    Or Help me with the obviously wrong script here.

    I’m trying to select all graphics. Or is it all graphic frames. I have no hair left!

    Ideas appreciated

    L = app.activeDocument.layers.item (‘Images’);
    app.activeDocument.allGraphics.everyItem().itemLayer = L;

    Hi William

    You must move the parent of the graphic and not the graphic itself. The parent is the frame containing the graphic.
    And then I believe you need to loop through each of them to do so. (Maybe there is a smarter way than looping.)

    var theDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var theGraphics = theDoc.allGraphics;

    if(!theDoc.layers.item (“images”).isValid){
    var imgLayer = theDoc.layers.add({name:”images”}); //adding layer if it is not present
    }
    else {
    var imgLayer = theDoc.layers.item(“images”);
    }

    for (var i = 0; i < theGraphics.length; i++) {
    theGraphics[i].parent.itemLayer = imgLayer;
    }

    Hi William,

    It seems, you forgot that you already have the script. Check this:

    Script to move images to seperate layer

    @David/@Mike, can you check with your database since it’s a same post with different urls.

    Script to move images to seperate layer

    Script to move images to seperate layer

    …and

    
    @Michel Allio for FRIdNGE, you were same on both urls.
