AP - grouping layers while recording macro

[gkulka]

Hi,

Is there way to select layers[with different names] and group them while recording macro ?

Best regards,

Greg

Hi @gkulka,

You cannot select layers when using a macro. Sorry.

Thanks,

Gabe.

Hi @HVDB Photography

Thanks, but this is not exactly what I need. To see the issue, you need to create 3 pixel layers and try to select two of them and group while recording macro.

I have just tried @HVDB Photography's procedure, recording a macro in the 1.7 beta and it works OK. However, you should be aware that the Select all Layers command selects only  visible  layers.  So if you want to exclude one or more layers, simply turn off their visibility before selecting all layers. Or, you could lock the excluded layer.
