Running saved scripts

You can run a saved script by selecting the script from the Select Script drop-list, or by navigating to the folder where the script is located. You can also add folders containing scripts to the Select Script drop-list.

You can also run multiple scripts in a sequence. If you have a single script with too many operations, you may want to spread the tasks into several scripts that you can run in a specific order. This modularity makes it easier for you to maintain scripts and allows you to work around memory limitations.

When you have scripted actions that involve dialog boxes, you can choose to run the script in Silent mode, so the dialog boxes do not appear as the script runs. Conversely, you can choose to run the script in Interactive mode, so that dialog boxes appear for user interaction. For more information, see To set a playback mode for a script action or command.

You can add any folder to the list of folders that the Select Script drop-list displays by clicking the drop-list and clicking the File Locations button . In the File Locations dialog box, click Add and navigate to the folder that contains the scripts.

You can also run scripts on another open image by dragging the actions from the History palette and dropping them onto the image.

To run the last executed script or multiple scripts on another open image, click the image to make it active, and then press Ctrl + Y.

To toggle between Interactive and Silent script playback mode

Edit workspace 

•	Click the Toggle Execution Mode button on the Script toolbar.

If you’ve edited the script and set part or all of it to run in either Silent or Interactive mode, clicking the Toggle Execution Mode button will not override that setting. If a script is set to Default mode, the state of this button will override the Toggle Execution Mode setting. The Toggle Execution Mode setting affects only those steps and commands set to Default mode within the script.
