How to automatically include file name text into a Photoshop text layer?

[steve_bright1]

I have about 500 images which I need to print out as proofs for a

client. I would like to incorporate the filename or part of the

filename as a text layer within the image to be printed. How can I

automate the generation of the text layer with the right text in it?

I'd preferably like to only include the part of the filename before

the dot - I don't really want the '.psd/.jpg' in the text.

 

Thanks for your help... I really don't fancy having to type in 500

labels!

Thanks Emre for the pointer, and thanks also to Anil Mungal for writing the original script. It works like a charm. That is going to save me so much time - I am over the moon. I really must get into this scripting stuff. Thanks again!
