SCRIPT
This JavaScript (AddFileName20pt.jsx) adds the name of the document as a type layer within the document (without the extension). Just place the script in your Photoshop CS3/Presets/Scripts folder. A word of caution, it is doubtful that the script will add the type layer at the exact size and in the exact position that you will want it. In order to make changes to the type style (size, font, color etc.), it is CRITICAL (especially if you are recording the script as part of an action) that you double click on the "Filename" type layer in the Layers palette and make changes with the options bar. Do NOT swipe the text in the image area or it will record that file's name as part of the action and all of the following images will be named the same as the first one that you recorded! Special thanks to Thomas Ruark at Adobe for creating this script. 01-24-2012 Updated script corrects error dialogs when run from Bridge.
