Create action

[lacogada]

I'm very familiar with creating actions in Photoshop.

Cannot get an action to work in PL.
Read the help file and follwed the steps.

Looks like you managed to create an action.
To play it:

• Double click on it
• Press the play button

I know how to use actions ... PL is not creating the action . Look at image I uploaded.

The action I created does not have the arrow to the left of the name as all other actions do.
Like its not accepting my commands or keystrokes.

Here are the steps I've tried to create the action

1. New action
2. Name action
3. Edit - Options - Display - Grid
4. Set my grid size - Ok.
5. Stop recording

Hit the play button and nothing happens ... action is dead.

Could someone please try the steps above to create a grid action and see if it works for you.

NOTE : I can create actions that work when using adjustment layers ( curves, channel mixer, etc )

Guess changes in "Options" just can't be recorded to actions. And this is logical.

[Gerhard Huber]

What you name "play button" is no play button, but a triangle to show the recorded steps inside an action.

Single settings of the options dialog can't be recorded to an action.

Ok guys

Thanks for the replies

I agree it could come in handy to be able to change grid settings in a more convenient manner.

I often change the grid settings depending on the project context, and I would love to have a separate panel with grid settings and presets. The only way I discovered to speed things up slightly is by displaying the grid buttons in a toolbar, and double-clicking that icon to open the grid settings instead of having to open the preferences first.

And other things I miss are isometric/perspective grids/any axionomic or oblique grid setups with full customization.

I agree with all ... thanks
