How to run the settings script
Easiest way to launch scripts
Just drag & drop the settings script .jsx
file into Photoshop's icon in either the Dock on Mac or the Taskbar on Windows. It's the same way you can open image files, but PS knows that it's a script file and runs it as such. When the batch process ends a dialog will pop up to inform you about that.
On Windows you have to hold Shift
when you drop it to the taskbar icon.
Photoshop may ask you if you're sure you want to run the script. When you click "Ok" or "Yes" or whatever the dialog button say, it'll run the script.
Alternative methods to launch scripts
Launch the script from the Photoshop menu
File > Scripts > Browse...
You can also make Photoshop
Actions
where you record launching a script using the drag and drop method orFile > Scripts > Browse...
This last method is probably not something you'd want to do with this script, but Photoshop has a
scripts
folder wherever Photoshop is installed in, like (on Mac):/Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2021/Presets/Scripts
. If you install a script this way it will appear in theFile > Scripts > ...
menu and if you want, you can give it a shortcut inPhotoshop at Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts...
