This follows on from previous thread but thought it should get it's own thread. Previous thread:

Script to edit actual text in type layer with number generation?

That JS code would make a great basis for this script

Wondering how hard it would be to make a script that creates an image by concatenating a series of images into a horizontal strip. I'm new to JS so it's a bit of a leap for me on my own. Algorithm might be something like this:

start with base image file "numbers" with a text layer on top text layer has contents "01",
image size is160px x 90px;
make a new file "filmstrip " same size as "numbers"
paste "numbers" in as pixels only (flattened/merged)
loop for n instances; 

      enlarge "filmstrip" canvas width by image width + spacer width (image
      anchored on the RHS, same height) make text number in "numbers" ++ copy
      "numbers" paste into "filmstrip" on LHS as pixels (flattened/merged) end
      loop





Just writing that tells me I don't know enough JS to do this!

that's great, accept would like an option to add space b/w images of x pixels, either in script or user input.

Thanks for that link there's a few scripts there that are fodder.

Thanks heaps Paul R.

Great enhancement. May I ask for one more minor enhancement?

These images are like placeholders that get replaced one by one over time. It would be stupendous to have the script make guides on the boarders of the images. In my case, as I'm using Right to Left direction with 23 px spacing, i would like vertical guides on the left and right edges of each image.

Thanks again for an excellent script.
