One of the files in the tutorial is the package.json file for managing dependencies in the (absolutely lovely) package manager npm. When I wrote the data structure out in CoffeeScript, however, the compiled data structure wasn't valid JSON according to JSONLint (it was nested between parentheses, had unquoted keys, and a trailing semi-colon, as you can see in the code snippet.) (more...)
If you're as lazy as I am, you might want to write out your static data structures in CoffeeScript instead of JSON. This little script lets you convert a file containing a CoffeeScript data structure to valid JSON.
If you're Google, you decide to go it alone, implement what you want to anyway, and then tell the world that it is going to replace JavaScript.
Introducing Dart, Google's second shot at ECMAScript 4.
Under Snow Leopard, the following code would work (you'll find variants of this code floating around the Internets):
The File object behaves differently in ExtendScript under OS X Lion.
I initially thought I could record an action to do this, but the Photoshop file I have for the graphics has dozens of layers. I thought I could use the Layer comps to files… script that ships with Photoshop but – while it let me export layer comps to files – it wouldn't let me add custom actions in the middle of the process (in this case to unsharp mask the image once it was resized).
Using ExtendScript and Photoshop to make it easier to build multi-resolution images for web sites.
Update: sorry everyone, the event sold out in under 24 hours but there is a waiting list you can sign up to in case anyone drops out. Thank-you all for your overwhelming interest and here's looking forward to seeing a bunch of you there in March!
