A Newbie Question -- Need Reference of Some Kind

Hi all,

I am not new to Python, but am new to PSP X use of python. Please bear with
me.
I am looking for a reference of some kind that might, for example, give me a
way to know how many images are currently open. PSP X must know that
somehow, but I have not yet figured out where to look for it.

The application (for now) is just a simple script that closes and saves all
open images. I recorded a version to look at, but of course, it just
iterated through each open file. I would put that into a loop once I knew
how many were open OR had some way to know that I had reached the last one.

The more general question is how does one find these details about what PSP
X knows about its session?

Help please?
--Vic

Found by going to the Corel web site, clicking the support link,
and typing "scripting api" into the search feature while specifying
PSP as a product.

You may have recorded the wrong thing. Did you record Window >
Close All?

JascUtils.RequireADoc( Environment ) == App.Constants.Boolean.false:

will be the case when there is no active document. It is probably
PspUtils now that Corel bought Jasc.

One searches the Corel web site for documentation. They don't seem
to have updated it for PSP X. Suz Shook has some good scripting
stuff too http://users.adelphia.net/~suzshook/

To get the number of open documents, Vic, use len(App.Documents).
App.Documents is a list of open documents, so extracting the length of that
list will give you the number of open documents. Suz
