Could anyone please help me...

[_wanasako_]

i would like to have a batch processing script or action for copying some clipping paths from pictures(have paths inside) to pictures(don't have). they are in the same name but difference location.

Folder A (Pic's name 1,2,3,4,...) ---- copy paths to-----> Folder B (Pic's name 1,2,3,4,...)

Thanks

First: The headline to Your query is not very informative, a more specific definition of topic would seem a better choice.
Secondly: I havent tested it extensively and Im not very experienced with Scripting, but You could give this a try:

// this script tries to copy the clipping paths of files in one folder into files of the same name in another folder;



// use it at your own risk;



#target photoshop



var withPath = Folder.selectDialog("select the folder containing the images with paths");



var withoutPath = Folder.selectDialog("select the folder containing the images without paths");



if (!withPath ||  !withoutPath) {}



else {



var theOnesWith = withPath.getFiles();



var theOnesWithout = withoutPath.getFiles();



var notFound = new Array;



for (var m = 0; m < theOnesWith.length; m++) {



   var checksOut = false;



   theOne = theOnesWith;



   for (var n = 0; n < theOnesWithout.length; n++) {



      theOtherOne = theOnesWithout;



// compare file-names;



      if (theOne.name.slice(theOne.name.lastIndexOf("/")+1,-4) == theOtherOne.name.slice(theOtherOne.name.lastIndexOf("/")+1,-4)) {



         checksOut = true;



         photoshop.open(theOtherOne);



         var theUnpathed = app.activeDocument;



         photoshop.open(theOne);



         var thePathed = app.activeDocument;



         for (var o = 0; o < thePathed.pathItems.length; o++) {



            app.activeDocument = thePathed;



            var aPath = thePathed.pathItems;



// look for clipping path;



            if (aPath.kind == PathKind.CLIPPINGPATH) {



               aPath.select();



               copyPath (thePathed, theUnpathed, aPath.name);



               app.activeDocument = theUnpathed;



               theUnpathed.pathItems[theUnpathed.pathItems.length-1].makeClippingPath(1)



               }



            else {}



            }



         }



      else {};



      try {



      thePathed.close(SaveOptions.PROMPTTOSAVECHANGES);



      theUnpathed.close(SaveOptions.PROMPTTOSAVECHANGES);



// for automatic saving clear previous line and remove the two slashes in the following line;



//      theUnpathed.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);



         }



      catch (e) {};



      }



   if (checksOut == false) {



      notFound = notFound.concat(theOne.name.slice(theOne.name.lastIndexOf("/")+1,-4))



      }



   else {}



   };



if (notFound.length > 0) {



   alert ("no corresponding file/s in the second folder found for \n" + notFound.join("\n"))



   }



};

// This is Photoshop, so just call our DOM routine with the files
var fileArray = photoshop10.ExtractFileArray (files);

for (index = 0; index < fileArray.length; ++index)
{
var file = fileArray[index];

app.open (file); <<<<<< Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect.

}

Regard ^.^ and thank you very muchhhhhhhhh
