Re: Script for deleting a pattern by name

This might suffice to get an Array of the Patterns’ names.

// get array of patterns’ names;

// based on code by michael l hale;

// 2014, use it at your own risk;

#target "photoshop-70.032"

var ref = new ActionReference();

ref.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID ("property"), stringIDToTypeID("presetManager") );

ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );

var applicationDesc = executeActionGet(ref);

var presetManager = applicationDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID("presetManager"));

var patternNames = presetManager.getObjectValue(4).getList(stringIDToTypeID("name"));

var theNames = new Array;

for (m = 0; m < patternNames.count; m++) {

theNames.push(patternNames.getString(m))

};

alert (theNames.join("\n"));
