Deleting multiple layers at a time.

dovezea

Hi everyone. I'm trying to find a way to remove multiple layers at a time. I wanted to write a script, but the Fontparts help doesn't tell me how to remove a layer.

The most basic functionality I want is to remove all layers except the foreground (top) layer. An advanced functionality could be to have a window where I can select which ones to delete.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks so much Frederik!
That's exactly what I was missing!

and for more examples see everything with a ‘vanilla’ tag

see RFont.removeLayer

font = CurrentFont()

# use these to send to a vanilla List object
print(font.layerOrder)

for layer in font.layerOrder:
    # don't remove the default layer (or top layer)
    if font.defaultLayer.name != layer:    
        font.removeLayer("background")

to build a simple UI see Introduction to vanilla.

good luck!
