How do u use this script in Photoshop?

I came across this which is very useful especially for texturing:

Does anyone know how u activate the script in Photoshop? How do I save it to  work in Photoshop?
Wish this was a built in feature? Hoping Krita adds something like this as well.

I'd love to know this as well. Would be a very useful feature but I have no idea how to import that script.

Is your question about that one script in particular ? (for instance : you ran it, but it doesn't work as expected ?)

Or, is it about "how to install .jsx photoshop scripts" in general ?

If your question is actually the second one : .jsx files have to be put in the Presets/Scripts folder, and they then show up under File>Scripts.

@pior Thanks for the help, mate. Where do I paste the copied script text from that thread to and then save as a .jsx file?

Notepad, or any plain text editor.

@Eric Chadwick Thanks. Tried it. It works. But it works only for red colored layers.  How do I specify another layer's colour?
EDIT: Found this:

It toggles layer by name. All u need to do is change the name in the script and it would select or disable the layers with that name. It would be nice if there is a tab where u can place this script for easy access in the window instead of File> scripts everything u want to toggle layers.

Have you tried the built-in Generator tool? I've been using it to spit out PBR layer groups for our glTF tests, works great. No need to press any buttons, it just works in the background, saving the textures as soon as I make any edits. Not sure if that's what you're after.

I need to display textures in the canvas with respect to how they are layered in groups. Has nothing to do with exporting them.
