Another way for Question #1 without using groups or smart objects to protect the existing clipping relationship:   1) Select/target the clipping base layer   2) Ctrl/Cmd + J to dupe the layer   3) Select the previous original clipped layer Alt/Opt + [   4) Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + ] to move the layer to the top of the stack ...

Question #1:     I am not sure if this needs to happen every time the mockup script is run, or if you only need to set up the layers correctly beforehand.   If it only needs to happen once to the template before it is used to populate mockups, then just dupe the layer move it and then reset the clipped layers back as they were.   If this needs to happen each time the script is run, then you will need to automate the steps.   There might be a way to script this using the internal layers structures that mark the beginning and end of clipped layers, however, that is beyond my scripting abilities.   Although the following can be scripted or possibly put into an action, I will detail the manual steps:   1) Copy the base layer to the clipboard   2) The base layer of the clipping mask and the clipped layers need to be protected, encapsulated in either a group or as a smart  object.   3) Paste in place the copied base layer so that it is placed at the top of the layer stack.   Optionally, you can ungroup or convert the smart object back to a layer group and then ungroup if you wish to have the clipped ayers back as they were.   It's also possible to duplicate the base layer to a new document, then duplicate the layer back to the original document rather than copy/paste in place.     Question #2:   Smart object sizing uses the PPI resolution value of the smart object image vs. the parent containing document's PPI value. So start by comparing the PPI resolution values of the parent document and the edited smart object document. At the same time, compare the height in pixels of the parent containing document's layer compared to the edited smart object height in pixels. ... View more

Maybe one could have a script that would get the locations of the recent files and put them in a list, where they could then be opened in Windows Explorer to be renamed or deleted. By @Semaphoric   That is certainly possible via scripting, but keep in mind that is editing the originals, not the alias/shortcut/pointers to the images that Photoshop stores in an unknown location and format.     This script will create a text report on the desktop containing the paths and filenames of the files in the recent files menu. Note that all files are returned until the menu is cleared, regardless of the value set to display N number of recent files.

By @Semaphoric   I don't believe that Adobe made this possible via scripting, and AFAIK, Adobe has never divulged where this information is stored or whether it can be accessed.   Users have asked for the ability to remove items selectively and to pin items for years now. We can't pin and there are only hacks to selectively remove individual files by moving or renaming them outside of Photoshop, before going back to Photoshop and attempting to access the now invalid entry in order to clear it.   Another option is to just clear the list of all recent items and then set it to show zer0 recent files and be done with it.   A script can be used to open files without populating the recent menu or home screen:   /* Open Files Without Populating the Open Recent list.jsx Stephen Marsh */ #target photoshop var selectFile = File.openDialog("Please select the file/s:", Multiselect = true); for (var i = 0; i < selectFile.length; i++) { var openFiles = app.open(File(selectFile[i])); }   Another option could be to use my "Photoshop Session Manager" script to save & restore Photoshop open document sessions, which isn't thumbnail view based, but text based and is intended for multiple open images, not opening single ad-hoc images:       ...

I am suspecting the issue is related to the open command...does the droplet open 1 image, then runs the action, and after action has run, opens the next image and so on?  By @thomash46409394     Yes, however, it depends on whether you have a close step in the action as to whether the processed images remain open or not.   Droplets are closely related to the Batch command, they are both designed to open and process one image at a time. Other documents can already be opened and used as the source for other operations, however, depending on the operations performed. batch actions may sometimes get confused as to which document is which.   Batch: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/processing-batch-files.html#process_a_batch_of_files Droplets: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/processing-batch-files.html#create_a_droplet_from_an_action   It sounds like you need a script, not an action.   Are the sets of two files in the same folder, or two different folders?   What criteria should Photoshop use to open each set of two images?
