smart object is not changing after making change on linkedFiles.

[hihabib]

const newPSD = { ...oldPSD, linkedFiles: [ ...newLinkFile ], } const final = writePsdBuffer(newPSD , {generateThumbnail: true}); fs.writeFileSync('my-file.psd', final);

here smart object (linked psb) file is changing. but the change is not showing on the main "my-file.psd" file. May the cause is "my-file.psd" children has its own canvas and after changing the linked file canvas, "my-file.psd" children canvas is not updating. How can I update or generate the "my-file.psd" children canvas with the smart object canvas by ag-psd library?

Photoshop will still use pre-generated bitmap stored in the layer, until you edit smart object in the PSD file. So if you want to update linked file, you also need to update layer canvas.

How can I update the layer canvas with the ag-psd library without opening with photoshop. Because I have to convert the psd which is generated with ag-psd to png.

That's not possible, ag-psd only gives you a way to read file data, it doesn't replicate entire photoshop renderer, and can't generate new bitmap data based on layer information, sorry.

[hihabib]

is it possible to do the stuff with another library? with php, nodejs or python?

[Agamnentzar]

It might be, I don't know any library that does that.

Okay thank you for your time 😊
