Hello, i am trying to figure out how to automatically name a clipping path the name of the file. currently i click duplicate image then i copy the name, hit cancel, and then paste it as the path name before i save the file. Unfortunatley i can't set up an ATN for this method. So, i was wondering how to apply the file name to the path automatically if possible. You help and guidance is appreciated 🙂

    Run this script. The launch of the script can be recorded in the Action.
     
    var doc = app.activeDocument;

var nm = doc.name;

var n = nm.lastIndexOf(".");
if (n > 0) nm = nm.substr(0, n);

for (var i = 0; i < doc.pathItems.length; i++)
    if (doc.pathItems[i].kind == PathKind.CLIPPINGPATH) { doc.pathItems[i].name = nm; break; }
