Description
The ImportOptions object provides the ability to create, change, and access options for the importFile()
method. You can create ImportOptions using one of two constructors, one of which takes arguments, the
other which does not.
Constructors
If importFile() is set without arguments, it has a "file" that does not exist unless it is set in another statement:
n e w Imp o r tO p t i o n s ( ) . fi l e = n e w F i l e ( " my fil e . p s d " ) ;
Otherwise importFile can be set with a single argument, which is a File object:
v a r my _ i o = n e w Imp o r tO p t i o n s ( n e w F i l e ( " my fil e . p s d " ) ) ;
