Key Features of the Script Pilot Manager
✔️ Advanced Library & File Organization
Navigate your JSX and PSJS scripts like a pro. With a clear, collapsible tree-view, Script Pilot lets you connect your default or custom script folders effortlessly.
Intuitively drag & drop files, mark your top tools as Favorites (⭐), and automatically track your “Most Used” scripts (❤️). Can’t find something? The lightning-fast real-time search brings it up instantly.
✔️ Visual Color Tagging
Bring visual logic to your workflow. Easily assign one of 7 vibrant color labels to your scripts and folders via the right-click context menu. Instantly distinguish your export scripts from your retouching scripts at a single glance.
✔️ Multi-Format Support & Instant Execution
Whether you are using classic ExtendScript (.jsx) or building tools with the modern UXP architecture (.psjs), Script Pilot handles both seamlessly.
Right-click in any empty space to instantly create new files from scratch, or rename, delete, and import scripts directly from the panel. Want to run a script quickly? Just double-click any file in your list to instantly execute it on your active document.
✔️ Integrated Code Editor & Live-Testing
Say goodbye to external code editors. Script Pilot features a native webview editor complete with reliable syntax highlighting and smart indentation.
Made a tweak? Hit the “Test Script” button to instantly execute code changes right inside Photoshop without closing the editor window.
✔️ Advanced Folder Batch Processing
Turn any script into a mass-automation tool. Add multiple scripts to your custom queue using simple checkboxes and arrange their execution order via drag & drop.
Run the queue on your active document, or use Folder Automation Mode to fully process entire folders. Script Pilot will automatically open the images, run your scripts, and save the results into a designated export folder (JPG, PNG, TIFF, or PSD).
Popular Workflows You Can Build in Minutes
Script Pilot is designed to adapt to your specific needs, saving you hours of tedious manual work. Here is how our users utilize it every day:
✔️ The “Library Cleanup” (Ultimate Organization)
Connect your messy downloads folder, create custom categories, and drag & drop your scripts into place. Tag all your resizing scripts in blue, mark your daily retouching scripts as favorites, and never waste a second searching for a tool again.
✔️ The “Developer Fast-Track” (Live Editing)
You are writing a new script but the coordinates are slightly off. Instead of jumping between VS Code and Photoshop, just right-click the script in Script Pilot, open the integrated editor, change the variable, hit “Test Script”, and see the result instantly. If you mess up, just hit “Cancel” to revert to your safe backup.
✔️ The “Heavy-Duty Batch Automator”
You have a custom watermark script and 500 images. Check the box next to your script to add it to the Script Pilot Batch Queue. Select your source folder, choose an export folder, pick “JPG” as your format, and hit Run. The plugin processes the entire folder automatically and even stops safely if an image throws an error.
