Scrub All
deletes all expressions in every color of shape layer fills/strokes in your comp, also deletes the Null generated onCollect All
. This doesn't discriminate -- known to break DUIK structure control colors and any third party expressions.
Known Bugs
- Attempting to launch the extension with a comp highlighted in the Project panel that's different than the one currently in viewer throws a scripting error. To fix, deselect comp in Project panel and refresh.
-
Scrub All
- Layer crawling is strictly typed for assignment but not for deletion. Custom elements injected by other scripts (DUIK, Ouroboros, third-party panels that have expressions linking to colors) aren't safe from having their color expressions deleted on theScrub
command, but aren't written to in return.
