For example, I have several paths on an image, if I want to copy them to another project, is there a script to avoid copying paths 1 by 1?

Copying a single path is as easy as dragging it from the paths list dialog to the canvas of the target. So that remains an easy/fast solution even for a dozen paths

If there is one stroke per path, merge them, copy the result, and split the result into single-path strokes with my ofn-path-edits script.

You can also look at the problem in the other direction. Duplicate the image, remove layers and channels in the copy, and copy layers/channels from the image where you want to add the paths.

When I make paths that I want to re-use, I just export them as .svg to use for future projects. Simple and effective.

I do that too. ;)
But sometimes I open another project next to the one that contains paths and I would like to quickly move them through the latter.
