How to find Nested text Frames / text frames inside regular frames

Hi @Mauro Acciarri 

I don't know of any clean method to remove a nested PageItem from its container. The code below is just a stopgap solution based on Select/Cut/PasteInPlace.

(function(  doc,a,t,z)
{
   doc = app.properties.activeDocument;
   if( !doc ) return;
   
   const REPL = +SelectionOptions.REPLACE_WITH;

   app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = false;
   // ---
   for( z=0, a=doc.allPageItems ; t=a.pop() ; )
   {
      if( 'TextFrame' != t.constructor.name ) continue;
      if( !t.parent.hasOwnProperty('paths') ) continue;
      
      t.select(REPL); // May fail due to locked items, etc
      app.selection.length && ( app.cut(), app.pasteInPlace(), ++z );
   }
   // ---
   app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = true;

   alert( z + ' text frames have been removed from hierarchy.')
})();

We obviously need a better approach… Maybe others will find it.

Best,

Marc
