    Path folder and Clear Path

    vaclavfous Community Member

      Hello Adobe,

      I've got ideas, how to do better Paths control in PS CS6.

       

      1) Path folder.

      If there is lots of the Paths, it would be easier to control it with Folders ...

       

       

       

       

      2) Clear Path.

      It would be easy way to delete all of Paths in the file, and it will by helpful when run Automate / Batch

       

       

      what are you thinking about?

      See my Idea screenshot

          Hello, and welcome to PsCS6 beta.

          Very good suggestions. While suggestions are welcomed, the focus of this forum is mainly to gather feedback about existing features, and to find bugs in the beta.

          You would be very welcome to post those suggestions (2threads) on the http://feedback.photoshop.com site (and do search if there is not already the same suggestion, you could cast your vote for it, and bring more information, like your nice mockup.)

          That site will be there after the beta, and people will still be able to vote and comment after the beta.

            I second those path ideas. In fact, I've been requesting them since the CS3 betas. Being a heavy user of paths to create scalable art, the paths can get really out of control in a short time. The ability to group paths like layers has been one of my biggest wishes for a very long time. I'm glad to see that I'm not alone!

              If you want to remove all paths this Script should work

              // use it at your own risk;
              #target photoshop
              if (app.documents.length > 0) {
              var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
              if (myDocument.pathItems.length > 0) {
              myDocument.pathItems.removeAll();
              }
              };
              

               

              If you want to give it a try paste the text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.

              But be aware that it would also remove the Vector Mask if a Layer with one were selected when invoking the Script.
