“Get Equivalent ID Code” is a code utility script using the JSON Action Manager scripting library.
This stand-alone script written in JavaScript opens a dialog box with an input text field expecting the text string of a call to app.charIDToTypeID (), pasted from code copied from the ScriptingListenerJS.log file, for instance. Provided it does exist, the equivalent call to app.stringIDToTypeID () is then automatically displayed in real-time in another output text field (read-only); in some cases, more than one call (up to four) will be listed, when several (colliding/conflicting) equivalent StringIDs are available.
The output field format is kept identical to the input field format, including extra whitespace and optional elements: leading app. (Application root object) and trailing ; (JavaScript statement delimiter).
For the sake of completeness, the script works also the other way around, but it is less useful for code copied from the ScriptingListenerJS.log file, since the ScriptingListener plug-in only generates calls to app.stringIDToTypeID () for StringIDs which have no equivalent CharID.
This script can be used in Adobe Photoshop CS3 or later. It has been successfully tested in CS4 on Mac OS X, but should be platform agnostic.
