Error 8007 encountered when attempting to scale at 100% proficiency. Transformation unsuccessful

Wondering if this could be a bug in Photoshop. When scaling a layer and entering values of 100%, an error message pops up:

var srcDoc = app.activeDocument;
var numOfLayers = srcDoc.layers.length;

// main loop
for (var i = numOfLayers -1; i >= 0  ; i--)
{
  var thisLayer = srcDoc.layers[i];

   //select that layer as you go along
   srcDoc.activeLayer = srcDoc.artLayers[i];
}

The error displayed is: Error 8007: user cancelled the operation

Interestingly, scale values of 100.000001 work fine.

On a more crucial note, even when displayDialogs is switched off:

 displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO; // OFF

The user still needs to confirm the transform by pressing enter or the tick button. Is there any way to prevent this?

Answer №1

It's too lengthy to fit in a comment, so I'll post it as an answer instead. The error message User cancelled the operation can provide useful information at times: for instance, when you need to display a UI but are unsure whether the user clicked OK, Cancel, or encountered an error. Personally, I believe that setting a global variable like displayDialogs is excessive in this scenario – if something goes awry, the user will be stuck with your predefined option rather than the actual choice they made. Instead, consider checking the error number:

try
{
  // some code
}
catch (e)
{
  if (e.number == 8007)
  {
    // take action or ignore
  }
  else
  {
    // handle the real error
    alert(e);
  }
}
