The following 1.1 updated version of my previous script will retain the Clipping Path setting from the JPEG file to the PSD (however the flatness value isn't known and is blank).
[CODE=javascript]/*
Batch Copy All Paths from JPEG to PSD Files - 2 Input Folders.jsx
v1.0 - 21st April 2024: Stephen Marsh
v1.1 - 28th April 2024: Fixed the issue of the nominated clipping path being lost when pasted
Batch processing added to the following base script:
