Does anyone have, or know if it's possible to remove all layer effects with a script? (On every layer in the document)

Here is the example

This PSD is converted from SVG by affinity designer, unfortunately all layer have hidden effects. Currently I delete this effect one by one, it would be great if there is a script that can delete all layer effect on document at once.

Actions and scripting

we made a Photoshop plug-in that can do this. The unlimited version is 12$.

Full Version (12$):
https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/c36e02fb/swift

Trial Version (Limited to 5 Actions):
https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/412c1dcd/swift-trial-version

Its also a big help with getting the layers selected.

This will apply all effects (if you need it of course)

runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("selectAllLayers"));
var d = new ActionDescriptor();
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
d.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("what"), stringIDToTypeID("rasterizeItem"), stringIDToTypeID("layerStyle"));
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("rasterizeLayer"), d, DialogModes.NO);
runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("selectNoLayers"));

upd.

You can also insert a command "hide effects" before rasterization

var d = new ActionDescriptor();

var r = new ActionReference();

r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("layerFXVisible"));

r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("document"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));

d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);

var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();

d1.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("layerFXVisible"), false);

d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("to"), stringIDToTypeID("layerFXVisible"), d1);

executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);

Make an adjustment


try{
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    var applicationDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
    var theNumber = applicationDesc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("numberOfLayers"));
    for (var m = 0; m <= theNumber; m++) 
    {
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putIndex( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), m);
        var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
        var isBackground = layerDesc.getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("background"));
        var ID = layerDesc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('layerID'));
        SelectLayer(ID);
        if ( isBackground != true &&  haslayerEffects()) 
                { 
                    disableLayerStyle();
                 }
    }
}catch(e){alert(e)}
function haslayerEffects()
    {
    try {
        var d = new ActionDescriptor();
        var r = new ActionReference();
        r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
       var options = executeActionGet(r);  
        return options.hasKey(stringIDToTypeID("layerEffects"))
        }
    catch (e) {alert(e) }
    }
function disableLayerStyle()

                r.putIdentifier(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), ID);
                //   r.putIndex(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), "0");
                 d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
                 executeAction(  charIDToTypeID( "slct" ), d, DialogModes.NO );
             }
        catch(e){ alert(e); }

It is better to use "disableLayerFX" instead "disableLayerStyle"

to not change layer blending mode and opacity.

i have a stupid idea


try{
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    var applicationDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
    var theNumber = applicationDesc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("numberOfLayers"));
    for (var m = 0; m <= theNumber; m++) 
    {
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putIndex( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), m);
        var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
        var isBackground = layerDesc.getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("background"));
         var theName = layerDesc.getString(stringIDToTypeID('name'));
         SelectLayer(theName,m);
        if ( isBackground != true &&  haslayerEffects()) 
                { 
                    disableLayerStyle();
                 }
    }
}catch(e){alert(e)}
function haslayerEffects()
    {
    try {
        var d = new ActionDescriptor();
        var r = new ActionReference();
        r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
       var options = executeActionGet(r);  
        return options.hasKey(stringIDToTypeID("layerEffects"))
        }
    catch (e) {alert(e) }
    }
function disableLayerStyle()
    {
    try {
        var d = new ActionDescriptor();
        var r = new ActionReference();
        r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
        d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
        executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("disableLayerStyle"), d, DialogModes.NO);
        }
    catch (e) {alert(e) }
    }
function SelectLayer(Layername,ID)
   {
        try{
                 var r = new ActionReference();  
                 var l = new ActionList();
                 var d = new ActionDescriptor();
                 r.putName(charIDToTypeID("Lyr "),Layername);
                 d.putReference(  charIDToTypeID( "null" ), r );
                 l.putInteger(ID);
                 d.putList(  charIDToTypeID( "LyrI" ), l );
                 executeAction(  charIDToTypeID( "slct" ), d, DialogModes.NO );
             }
        catch(e){ alert(e); }
