Script to copy and paste guides in Photoshop

Thanks for the script. The thing is I am only getting Copy option so I can't paste them to another image :)

I have both the copy and paste scripts, however Photoshop 2024 appears to have broken the scripts.

The copy appears to work, the guide co-ordinates are correctly reported in an alert.

No guides are pasted with the paste script though.

r-bin @ the Adobe forums has fixed the issue for 2024:

Changing the value from 0 to 1:

desc2.putString(1, currentGuides.toSource());

var layerGuides = eval(desc1.getString(1));
