Re: Move specific path to the top of path palette

It checks if Path name exists and if so, select it and move it to top

executeAction will not send error.

myPathNameToTop('Shine');

function myPathNameToTop(name) {

    $.level =0; // only if you are using this from ESTK (it can be removed when running from photoshop)

    try {

        var myPath = app.activeDocument.pathItems.getByName (name);

    } catch(e) {}

    $.level =1;

    if (String(myPath) != "undefined") { // if exists move to top

        myPath.select();

        var desc25 = new ActionDescriptor();

        var ref23 = new ActionReference();

        ref23.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Path" ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) );

        desc25.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref23 );

        var ref24 = new ActionReference();

        ref24.putIndex( charIDToTypeID( "indx" ), 0 );

        desc25.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "T   " ), ref24 );

        executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "move" ), desc25, DialogModes.NO );

    }

}
