HI
How to delete a group in Photoshop CC without deleting the contain of this group ?
I understand the Reference class is Layer set for a group.
How to do, using applescript ?
Thanks for your help
regards
Christophe

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2017"
  activate
  set typeOfLayer to get properties of every layer of current document
  tell current document
  delete layer 1 -- it should be the layer group
  end tell
end tell

Can you first clarify what you want?

Is “contain” supposed to be “contents,” (probably) or “container?”

I’m a little unclear if you want to move everything that was in the group out to the location of the current group, and then delete the group, or if you’re trying to delete a single subgroup without deleting the parent group?

Either should be possible, just trying to clarify before coding.

Hi
Sorry if it wasn’t clear.
In a group, i have two layers.
I want to move them outside the group (above this one) and after delete the group which is now empty.

This is working for me:

tell application "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Adobe Photoshop CS6.app"
	set currentDoc to the current document
	tell currentDoc
		set layerSet to layer set "Group 1" --the layer set you want to delete
		set layerSetElements to every layer of layerSet
		move layerSetElements to after layerSet
		delete layerSet
	end tell
end tell

I don’t think Macscripter has a way to mark posts as resolved.

Glad it’s working.
