The Photoshop UI script has a checkbox group, radio button group, and text field group. The script remembers the last used settings for the checkbox and radio buttons. But does not remember the last used text filed string.
I have an idea of what needs to happen for the script to remember the text field string but don’t know how to implement the functionality into the script.
The text field string needs to be converted to a numerical value and then reconverted to a string for the script to retain the last used text field input.
Can someone please help me set up the string to number and number to string conversion?
