Bridge: Contextual "Batch" command
I run Batch operations from Bridge to Photoshop all day long. Photoshop installs scripts which create the Tools->Photoshop submenu but its much easier to right-click a selection in the Bridge browser window than to keep diving into the submenu.
If you add this little script to Bridge, it creates a contextual menu item and calls the same routine as the Tools->Photoshop->Batch menu command, to send a group of files to Photoshop.
Save as a ".jsx" file from a text editor, select Preferences->Startup Scripts in bridge and click the Reveal button. Drag the .jsx file into that folder and relaunch Bridge.
-----------------------------
#target bridge
if(BridgeTalk.appName == 'bridge'){
var openCommand = new MenuElement('command', 'Batch...', 'after Thumbnail/Open', this.menuID);
}
openCommand.function(){
openBatch();
}
function openBatch(){
try{
if(app.document.selections.length > 0){
photoshop.batchFromBridge();
}
else{
alert('No files chosen.');
}
return;
}
catch(e){
}
}
