P: Ability to delete multiple paths

Which script on this site is the "delete all paths" script? I read through all of them and there didn't appear to be anything for deleting paths.

Thanks for moving me into this thread!

Me too! I'm doing the same kind of work as Josh W. It's probably my single most biggest gripe about PS.

I had hoped that we'd be able to add this for CS6.

As Paul points out, the workaround is a one line script to delete all paths:

activeDocument.pathItems.removeAll();

I've been waiting for years, decades, eons, to be able to DELETE SELECTED PATHS in one click as you can with layers and finally now, channels as well. Does no one else have an issue with this? I sometimes have 15 to 20 paths which have to be deleted every time I send the client an updated file ( 5 to 10 versions) and "control/click/delete each one at a time cursing under my breath and feeling like I'm back in the 90's. I had a third party action that worked OK for awhile but lost it a few upgrades ago. But why should I have to get a third party app to do such a stupid, basic thing that PS should have been able to do years ago. I was so hopeful when I tried CS6 beta thinking someone at Adobe must have finally added this long over due feature—but no.

yes, i've got the same issue ... deleting one by one is wasting production time.

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 mockup:

You can currently delete more than one Alpha channel at a time in Photoshop CS5.

JDI suggestion: I would like to be able to select and delete multiple paths and alpha channels.

There are also options for deleting all paths and alphas, and a bunch more bells and whistles in Paul's Picture Processor Script here, which is great for batching-
