Description

New Script
(Command-N or Control-N)

Deletes all nodes currently in the Node View. (You can also press
Command-A or Control-A in the Node View to select all nodes and
then press Del.)

Open Script

(Command-O or Control-O)

Opens the Load Script window. The script selected in the Browser
replaces what is already in the Node View. You can also use the
Load button in the title bar.

Import Photoshop File

Imports a Photoshop file. If the Photoshop file contains multiple
layers, you can import the layers as separate FileIn nodes that are
fed into a MultiLayer node, or as a single, composited image by
using a normal FileIn node.

Reload Script

Reloads the script listed in the title bar.

Add Script

Opens the Load Script window. Adds a second set of nodes to
those currently in the Node View. The added nodes are renamed if
a naming conflict arises. (For example, FileIn1 becomes FileIn2 if
FileIn1 already exists.) Global settings are taken from the added
script, as is the new script name.

Save Script
(Command-S or Control-S)

Saves the script without prompting you for a script name (if you
have already saved). You can also use the Save button in the title
bar.

S or Shift-Control-S)

Opens the Save Script window. Enter the new script name, and
click OK to save the script.

Save Selection As Script
