Thank you for your efforts, but it doesn't work

Same behavior

Ctrl + v works, using script no ...

try to change

$.setenv("myFolder_doc_env", encodeURI(SetPath2));

to

$.setenv("myFolder_doc_env", encodeURI(SetPath).replace(/\%0A$/,''));

* originally I thought we were talking about copying plain text. When you specified that we are talking about file paths, I did not take into account that when we read a file, we get a line feed character at the end of the line. In Windows this is not critical for local paths, but is important for network paths

Windows:

var f = new File(Folder.temp + '/script.vbs'),
    s = 'Set o = CreateObject("htmlfile"):t = o.ParentWindow.ClipboardData.GetData("text"):f=CreateObject("WScript.Shell").ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%TEMP%") & "\\clipboard.txt":set c = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(f, 2, True):c.WriteLine(t):c.Close';
f.open("w");
f.encoding = "TEXT";
f.write(s);
f.close()
f.execute()
$.sleep(500)
var c = new File(Folder.temp + '/clipboard.txt'),
    s = '';
if (c.exists) {
    c.open("r");
    s = c.read();
    c.close()
}
f.remove()
c.remove()
if (s != '') {
    var layers = app.activeDocument.artLayers;
    var layer = layers.add();
    layer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
    var textItem = layer.textItem;
    textItem.kind = TextType.PARAGRAPHTEXT;
    textItem.size = 30;
    textItem.position = [10, 10];
    textItem.contents = s
}
