Select first (top) path with a shortcut or a script

[TrimMark]

Is it possible to select the first (top) path, regardless of its name, with a shortcut or a script?

Note: Not making a selection of the path but select the path it self in the path menu. (So that I can rename it with a shortcut.)

I like to know how.

Selecting the topmost Path in the Paths Panel is not the same as double-clicking its name field, though.

// 2017, use it at your own risk;

#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length > 0) { 

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

if (myDocument.pathItems.length > 0) {

myDocument.pathItems[0].select()

}

};

Is it always to be the same name or do you intend to manually enter the new name?

Always the same name: Path 1

(I rename it with an action.)

Thanks 4 your help!

Then try this:

// 2017, use it at your own risk;

#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length > 0) { 

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

if (myDocument.pathItems.length > 0) {

myDocument.pathItems[0].name = "Path 1"

}

};
