IOW, selecting an object as the target for a command & executing a command on a targeted object are two different things. I believe that is why in a macro the layer has to be selected first, & also why selecting a layer opens the Select Layer window with its choices even if a layer is selected (highlighted) in the GUI or the Cannot record 'Set current selection' notice appears if no layer is selected. That is one of the characteristics of a GUI that is often overlooked - clicking on some object selects it in addition to whatever else the click might be programmed to do, which may or may not leave that item selected afterwards. I realize that in the Layers panel, you can click on a lock icon on an unselected (not highlighted) locked layer to unlock it, but by clicking on that icon you are explicitly selecting that specific layer as the target object of the unlock command. If not, if you supply a new version of your original macro with unique layer names I can add the rest of the commands to do the grouping and see if we run into any more bugs.īut you can unlock layers which are not selected - which is what I was doing when recording the macroīut I don't think you really can unlock any specific layer without selecting it in some way first, even though in the GUI it can look as if you can. If you understand the above you should be able to alter your macro (use unique layer names) add the grouping commands and test it to completion. S Isolation & V Isolation) so I can't test it properly with the macro you have currently supplied. Unfortunately, you have named some of your layers with the same name (i.e. In a quick test if you select the layer you want to unlock by its layer name then it appears to work no matter how many background layers you have. Unfortunately, it only works correctly when you have just the one background layer, if you have more than one background layer it does not select the correct layers for grouping (possibly another bug!) I have attached the revised edited macro where I have simply unticked certain 'wrong' commands then added the correct ones below them.

To correct for the above 'bug' I altered the macro to simply select the top layer then Layer > Unlock and repeated for the next 4 layers (down from the top one) (Possibly a bug - but definitely confusing & undesired behavior)

It appears that when unlocking a layer in a macro the layer has to be selected first, which is not the case when just using the program normally. Ok, it looks like the problem is with the macro command 'unlock'ĭespite the fact that the macro records the command correctly, when replayed it does not unlock the layer. Which is why i think my only option is to record the macro without grouping and then group the 5 layers after running the macro, unless someone know a better way. As i noted on my original comment, if I record the command this way and run it on a new document with many layers, all layers not locked get placed inside the group the macro creates, which is something i do not want. Its number 6 that's giving me the issue, the only way I've been able to select all the layers while recording the macro is by going to the Select, Select All Layers.
