Suspend History States

is there way stop steps in script showing in history.

 

i have seen other posts talking suspendhistory `i not familiar how use call

say need run following code:

 

var doc = app.activedocument; var lay = doc.activelayer; var dup = lay.duplicate(); dup.name = "friday"; dup.applygaussianblur (20); alert("too wine"); 

 

this leaves 3 steps in history palette.

the suspendhistory() method accepts 2 params: string going appear in history palette in lieu of 3 "normal" steps; , 6 lines of extendscript i've written above. e.g.

 

app.activedocument.suspendhistory('swing', 'var doc = app.activedocument; var lay = doc.activelayer; var dup = lay.duplicate(); dup.name = "friday"; dup.applygaussianblur (20); alert("too wine");' 

usually won't stick code string, following usual pattern:

 

function main() {   var doc = app.activedocument;   var lay = doc.activelayer;   var dup = lay.duplicate();   dup.name = "friday";   dup.applygaussianblur (20);   alert("too wine"); }  app.activedocument.suspendhistory ("swing", "main()"); 

 

hope helps,
