"Isolation Mode" and Javascript.

$

Hi All,

 

Does anyone know of a way to get out of IsolationMode using Javascript?

 

I am trying to create a Duplicate of a Selection on a Tempory Layer.

The selection is often quickest to get to by Isolating.

Then running script.

 

I'm getting this error:

 

Error 9034: Cannot add a new layer as sibling to 'Isolation Mode' synthetic layer.

->  tempLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.add();

 

I also have this issue with another Script I use to Save Artwork.

If Isolation Mode is active when script is run, file is saved with non-isolated sections "Dimmed"

Would be nice to "Idiot Proof" the code a little more by getting out of Isolation mode if need be before saving.

 

Snippet of save code below:

saveName = new File(FilePathAndName);
saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
saveOpts.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT5;
saveOpts.generateThumbnails = true;
saveOpts.preserveEditability = true;
app.activeDocument.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts );

 

Fingers Crossed there is a way to access "Isolation Mode" using Javascript.

Both scripts are too much for an action.

I can't run action from Javascript... can I? (boo)

and I realy don't want to go down the path of running JS from an Action, then calling VB to call a different action bla bla.

 

am using CS6 with CC coming soon...

 

Thanks in advance...
