Hi Brian!

The syntax error is most likely caused by the inverse double-quotes, they should both be normal double-quotes:

Line 212 should be:
var file = new File(targetFolder.toString() + "/" + name);

WordPress attempts to style the comments and a copy-and-paste from the comment would have retained the inverse quote.

Cheers & HTH,
Tal

Excited to see the pdf version above from Gabriel Walt.

Unfortunately, I’m getting this error when I try to use it.

“Error 8: Syntax Error
Line: 212
- > var file = new File(targetFolder.toString() + “/” + name);

Any Ideas?

This script has become an integral part of my daily workflow. Thanks Again.

Tal -

I love this script! Can you help me make it export each layer to an illustrator eps?
I would also like to adjust it to export out a higher resoulution JPEG file.

Thanks for your help!

You may find this post interesting as a design technique / exercise to try, as it gets you to think differently: http://jamesladdcode.com/?p=12
Trying the ‘East’ approach forces you to use the Hollywood Principle and the Law Of Demeter. I’d also be interested in your experience with applying the approach as an exercise.

Nick is a great bloke and an incredible developer — I’ve worked with him at White Pages @ Sensis. I’ll definitely have a read of his blog post.

Good point – I think one of if not the most important parts of OOP is the law of demeter. So many times we just use ‘objects’ as data containers and completely miss the chance to create nice abstractions with behaviour.

My colleague Nick Drew has written a cool post on refactoring code to Tell Don’t Ask – http://pilchardfriendly.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/refactoring-to-law-of-demeter/
