@MrTeferi I will fix this soon.
There are many functions that may be inconsistent with the Photoshop javascript API after binding through COM, we need to patch them manually, I will create a new MR to fix this, thank you for your report.

@MrTeferi

cheers.

I'll look into this using latest version when I get the chance. In the meantime, please post full code snippet. BTW, if I'm not mistaken you can now also get layers using dict key notation like this:

layer = doc.artLayers['Layer Name']

Also keep in mind that accessing a layer via artLayers only works for layers, not layer groups. For layer groups you have to use layerSets like so:

layer = doc.layerSets['Layer Group Name']
