Option to use input filename as the output filename

[joonaspaakko]

After this question (#5) I thought about it some more and came to the conclusion that it could be done in all situations and batch renaming the output files afterwards is a bit too cumbersome given how easy it would be to add in the script.

The working idea and caveats:

• The input filenames will come from a target with the most input files.
  • ...because that is what dictates how many files the script will output
• If the target with most input files uses an array of folders as input: input: [ 'path-1', 'path-2'], there can't be any duplicate filenames between these folders.
  • Same "no duplicates" rule applies to any subfolders when you use the option: inputNested: true

Output filename keyword @input has now been added. The input filename is taken from whichever smart object that has the most input files.

Example where I added comments to all the important parts:

#include "Batch Mockup Smart Object Replacement.jsx" 

var output = {
  path: '$/_OUTPUT', 
  format: 'jpg', 
  folders: true, 
  // If you add incremental numbers using the dollar symbol ($), you don't have to worry
  // about input files with duplicate filenames getting overwritten... But it's not necessary...
  filename: '@input - $', 
};

mockups([

  {
    output: output,
    mockupPath: '$/Mug PSD MockUp 2/Mug PSD MockUp 2.psd',
    noRepeats: true, 
    smartObjects: [
      {
        target: '@black-mug', 
        // If you use an array of input files, you can easily end up with duplicate filenames without realizing...
        // In this scenario the script would use input filenames from this "@black-mug" smartobject since it has more input files than '@white-mug'
        input: [
          './_input files/black-mug', 
          './_input files/white-mug' 
        ], 
        // This setting can also cause accidental duplicates...
        inputNested: true,
        trimTransparency: false,
        resize: false,
      },
      {
        target: '@white-mug', 
        input: './_input files/white-mug',
        nestedTarget: 'Placeholder',
        resize: 'fit', 
        align: 'center bottom', 
      }
    ]
  },

]);
