Oh, and I think you should call it “Textport” instead of Textexport

Hey,

This is great! I needed to get the text from 20 PSDs and wasn’t sure how to do it, I had even considered typing up the copy all over again. But this script worked really great.

I updated the script code to kill the alert prompt that the script generates to notify the user that the text export has been completed and set up a batch so now I can extract the text from a whole folder of PSDs and get the machine to do all the work.

Thanks a lot :0)

Text Layers by default have the same name as the text it holds; What would be neat is to add the structure in order to see what group the layer is in. Will bump a 1.3 sometime soon

Very interesting!

It would also be great to add the layer names in the textfile, no?
