Batch Clear Smart Filters from Selected Layers – Photoshop Script

Have you ever tried clearing smart filters from multiple selected layers? Unfortunately there is no command for that so I decided to write a script…

Batch Clear Smart Filters from Selected Layers – Photoshop Script

// Batch Clear Smart Filters 
// This script clears all smart filters from selected layers.
// Mehmet Sensoy
#target photoshop  

var scriptName = "Batch Clear Smart Filters from Selected Layers by Mehmet Sensoy";  
var scriptVersion = "001";  

var docRef = app.activeDocument;

cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
sTID = function(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };

function newGroupFromLayers(doc) {
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putClass( sTID('layerSection') );
    desc.putReference( cTID('null'), ref );
    var lref = new ActionReference();
    lref.putEnumerated( cTID('Lyr '), cTID('Ordn'), cTID('Trgt') );
    desc.putReference( cTID('From'), lref);
    executeAction( cTID('Mk  '), desc, DialogModes.NO );
};

function undo() {
   executeAction(cTID("undo", undefined, DialogModes.NO));
};

function getSelectedLayers(doc) {
  var selLayers = [];
  newGroupFromLayers();

  var group = doc.activeLayer;
  var layers = group.layers;

  for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
    selLayers.push(layers[i]);
  }

  undo();

  return selLayers;
};

function deleteeffects() {
     try {
      var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var ref1 = new ActionReference();
    ref1.putClass(sTID("filterFX"));
    ref1.putEnumerated(cTID('Lyr '), cTID('Ordn'), cTID('Trgt'));
    desc1.putReference(cTID('null'), ref1);
    executeAction(cTID('Dlt '), desc1, DialogModes.NO);
    }
    catch(err) {
        // Handle error(s) here
    }
    }


var selectedLayers = getSelectedLayers(app.activeDocument);


for( i = 0; i < selectedLayers.length; i++) {
    selectedLayers[i].selected = true;
    docRef.activeLayer = selectedLayers[i];
    //alert(docRef.activeLayer.name)
 deleteeffects();
 }

// Batch Clear Smart Filters
