Clear guides in Photoshop CS4 JS

[Yuliaart]

Hi, I couldn't find anything in OMV or in the forum on how to remove existing guides in Photoshop. The help is highly appreciated.

You have to use scriptlistner to clear the guides

function clearAllGuides() {
     var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Gd  " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Al  " ) );
     desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref );
     executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Dlt " ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
}

this doesn't work in photoshp cs6 64bit w7

That Action Manager function does work in CS6. I don't know why it is not working for you unless you did not add the function call.

Here is a DOM version.

app.activeDocument.guides.removeAll();

The code in that thread to remove guides is the same as the code I posted. The only difference is I wrapped mine in a function. The function will not work unless called using

clearAllGuides();
