photoshop path operations read only?


  • Subject: photoshop path operations read only?

I am not able to change some settings on paths in photoshop. Ie. I want to change the path direction of a subpath to 'shape xor'.

When I look at Photoshops dictionary for 'sub path info' it lists 'operation' as a get/set value:

sub path info:
operation    |    get/set    |    sub path info operation

The choices given for 'sub path info operation' are: shape add, shape intersect, shape subtract, shape xor

I can *read* the operations value OK, but I am not able to change it.
I get no errors, PS just ignores me. Am I doing something wrong or is Photoshop treating this as a read-only value?

This has been so in CS3, CS4 and CS5. I have not tested CS5.5

Is there another way of doing this?

Thanks,
Håvard


Dummy code:

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
	tell document 1
		set x to (count path items)
		if x > 0 then
			repeat with y from 1 to x
				set pathitems to (every item of entire path of path item y)
				repeat with enPathItem in pathitems
					log (get operation of enPathItem)
--> 	(*shape intersect*)
					set operation of enPathItem to shape xor
--> nothing happens here!
				end repeat
			end repeat
		end if
	end tell
end tell
