Delete all image collections

[ojodegato]

I am looking for a way to delete all image collections from the Collections tab. Is this possible with a custom javascript for Br?

Are you wanting to remove just the collections or all the associated files too…?

I need to keep the original files. I just need to delete the Br image collections associated with the original files.

#target bridge
app.bringToFront();
removeAllCollections();
function removeAllCollections() {
  var collects = app.getCollections();
  for ( var i = collects.length-1; i >= 0; i-- ) {
  app.deleteCollection( collects );
  };
};

This should remove all the Non Smart collections… You will need a way to run this. You can do so from the ESTK else you need to add something to Bridge.

A menu and item or a contextual menu option…?

Thank you!

I know how put the script in the BR startup folder. However, I am not sure how to call this Br script once the application is open?

#target bridge
#engine main


app.bringToFront();


if ( BridgeTalk.appName == 'bridge' ) {
  var toolMenu = MenuElement.find( 'Tools' ),
  ojo = new MenuElement( 'command', 'Remove All Collections', '-at the end of toolMenu', 'ojodegato001');
};


ojo.onSelect = function () { removeAllCollections(); }


function removeAllCollections() {
  var collects = app.getCollections();
  for ( var i = collects.length-1; i >= 0; i-- ) {
  app.deleteCollection( collects );
  };
};

OK if you add this one to you user scripts folder… It should give you a NEW custom option at the end of the tools menu… Click n run there…
