  Hi arteangelus,

  Try this Code...

  #target photoshop
  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var layName = docRef.activeLayer.name
  var l = Number(docRef.layers.length)+1;
  while(--l){
      if(docRef.layers[l-1].name!=layName && docRef.layers[l-1].name!="Background"){
          docRef.layers[l-1].remove();

• 2015.1 Auto Select tool from Photoshop brush broken

  Hello everyone.

  Since the last update a few hours back, automatic selection no longer works as before.

  At first I thought that it was simply does not work. I made sure that the "auto select Layers" has been checked in the move tool, I went to the Brush tool, which held the key CTRL pressed to activate temporarily move and... Nothing.

  The move tool on his own photo works perfectly well and as expected.

  Here's the kicker: uncheck "auto select Layers" and selects automatically-move tool temporary anything and everything new.

  Now, maybe you weren't around the last time this happened, so here's an update:Re: PS CC 2014 move tool Bug?

  The last time it was changed back. I guess it was just a misstep, I realize the selection Auto is a complex code and all, but please fix it. This time less than 3 months time, if possible.

  It has been fixed in 2015.1.1. Available now.

  My apologies for the inconvenience.

• I miss "automatic selection: layer '"

  I understand that design space, you're supposed to do double click and go down in layers. But this means that I have to click like 10 times to achieve a text on a button in a subfolder. With the function of "standard photoshop" Auto Select, I'm here in 1 click. How is it an improvement? Why the automatic selection cannot be there as a tool too?

  Try the command (on mac) clicking on an object you roll over it... that works for me with nested objects.

• Can I move all the objects again selected layer without clicking hundreds of layer bars?

  I'm working on a complex illustrator file generated by GIS software. He gave me all kinds of groups of clip & road clip - what I really need, it's just to put all the same coloured polygons on the layer of a high level (unfortunately I can't draw all of my polygons in a group because illustrator doesn't pull these objects out of their existing clipping groups, and the card gets screwed completely upward if I release the clipping masks. With simple cards I have no problem Direct by selecting all of the polygons, I want, selecting their layers in the layers panel, then moving them to a new layer. This card is too complex, because there are hundreds of objects and hundreds of corresponding layers (they are not contiguous, or else I could simply click can be done with it).

  
  

  I used select > same > fill type to select all the polygons, I want that on a single layer, but I really hope that I don't have to select all the layers for each item one by one before I can move them to a new higher level layer. Does anyone know if there is a way to moving all the objects in a new layer selected without having to actually click all the layers in the Panel? Completely open to the alternative routes to my desired result!

  
  

  Thank you very much.
  
  

  Of course, after making the selection drag selection (to the right of the layer) icon on the desired layer. This will move any selected layer to the new layer.

  

• keyboard shortcut. (period) disable the classification in the selected layer

  I can't get my keyboard shortcut to disable the selected layer of ranking to work. Windows has the same Mac keyboard shortcut and I'm Windows.

  I use full screen and want to turn off a layer classification but cannot. I have to go back to the main panels and turn off the eyeball for the selected layer.

  Is it me who can not get this keyboard shortcut from. (period) to work?

  If I go on my pad and think that the. (period) is there, I find myself remove the selected layer using what, in my view, could be the. (period) there.

  This keyboard shortcut was reassigned and I use a pdf of Speedgrade obsolete reference? But this one is 10/12/2014.

  Everything could find your question! Re-entered Sg, played with touches of 'standard' period and paved num. Then tried to turn the NumLock... then, rather than being a temp power gimbal, the period key just to delete the layer selected. Not like a rocker... just delete the layer. Had to go back to history (Ctrl/Com - H) back on my bed.

  Then... you can check the status of your caps lock...

• Help, please! I can't select the shape I drew with the pentool again... I have the selected layer, but there is no sign of my new shape in my path Panel?  I have been sitting here for days literally and simply cannot make it appear the race that I created

  HI - can help I'm going crazy! !

  I drew a shape with the tool pen (which took me Age..) and I go back an image that I imported, I cannot select once again it.  I can see it in red, but I'm not able to select once again it.  I have the selected layer, but there is no sign of it in my Panel of traces at all.  I tried clicking on the direct Selection tool (about 100 times), I tried the Brush tool.  I've tried everything.  The same thing happened to me the other day...    Please can someone help!  Tania

  It's the plug technique on the subject:

  Using Photoshop | Manage paths

  It contains this point under manage paths:

  When using a shape or pen tool to create a work path, the new path appears as the work path in the tracks Panel. The work path is temporary; You must save it to avoid losing its contents.

  OK, the red, you mentioned is a Stoke you added. Then quick mask is not involved.

• Problem with 'Create new Extrusion of the selected layer' CC 2014

  Hello, I am experienced with Photoshop but I'm new to 3D text in Photoshop.  I type the text and convert it to a form.  When I choose to create new Extrusion of the selected layer I get the dialog, I don't see in tutorials.  It says "you are about to create a 3D layer.  You want to switch to the 3D workspace?  Yes/No, do not display again. "Which one should I use for the 3D text?

  If I choose Yes, all the panels disappear and the content in the tool options bar (Ribbon?) just under the menu bar disappears.  I have to restart Photoshop to get back on the tool options.  What could I do it wrong?

  Thanks - Dave

  I just chose 'No' and don't look at back.  I love my workspace, just as it is and doesn't prefer Photoshop to change for me in this case especially.

  You bring up the 3D Panel yourself via the window - 3D.  I think it's a good alternative for the Actions Panel, because I don't have any currently working in the 3D world.

  You'll want to see easily if you are working on 3D are 3D Panel and panel properties, among a few others.

  Regarding return your workspace as you like it...  Note the small switch near the upper right of the main window of Photoshop.  That can be used to select a workspace.  I suggest that you experiment and familiarize yourself with the concept of workspaces.  You can set your own and save it with a name, and that can really be useful.

• (Layers palette) When selected, layer is highlighted in gray, not blue.

  When I select a layer, it's highlighted in gray (in the layers palette) and I can't change it. My current process to make an editable layer is as follows:

  • Select Layer (shown in gray)
  • Double-click the layer (opens the dialog "Layer Styles")
  • Dialog box close "Layer Styles"
  • Layer is now highlighted in blue and can be edited.

  I am currently running Photoshop CS5.1 on a windows machine that uses Windows 7.

  Any thoughts?

  I just found out the problem. Somehow, I had entered in "Quick mask" mode Everything works normally now.

  Thank you.

• Moves other than the selected layer layers

  After you select a layer by dragging in the image box and move other layers above this layer or folder of the group. The first selected layer is more selected, the affected layer is even if I was just dragging inside the picture of my initial layer box. CS4 Windows

  Two things to check for

  (1) see if the layer is locked.

  (2) If you were moving to the origin of this layer and the latter it does not move, look in the toolbar above and if the automatic selection box is checked.

  When this box is checked, you can select a layer on the image it self. This can be difficult if there is not a lot of clearance between the two layers as a small image on one of the layers. It would be possible to accidentally select the wrong layer when you try to drag. With the box unchecked, then you have to select the layer in the layer panel.

• Full Auto Select false e-mail address length Windows

  In my Windows mail (under Vista Business), seized semiautomatic acts weird, as described below:

  AutoComplete works normally except she always select only part of the email address, it highlights. For example,.

  If I have two entries by e-mail I their name as "fr.femail.vicky" (whose e-mail address, say is * address email is removed from the privacy *) & fr.femail.pamela (whose e-mail address, say is * address email is removed from the privacy *).

  A few days ago I sent an email to vicky.

  Today, I want to write to pamela, if I type "en" in textbox recipient & autocomplete brings out ""fr.femail.vicky * address email is removed from the privacy *> "."

  I continue to type something (cause I want pamela this time), the content of the recipient text box becomes 'fr.m > '.

  The reason is that, when first semi-automatic entered time brings out the address of e-mail from vicky, he selects only the part of the character 3 to the 3rd character, i.e.

  He selects any address (which is fr.femail.vicky * address email is removed from the privacy *>) but select ". Femail.Vicky * address email is removed from the privacy *, " instead."

  Which; s wrong with my Windows Mail?

• Auto selection Multiple artist help

  Hi all

  I'm trying to contain an auto playlist in windows media player on Windows 8.1, which contains songs from specific artists, but I fight so he can work.

  Basically, I create auto playlist and set options so that 'Contains' 'artist' and then choose the name of the artist I want. I have then rinse and repeat for the other artists that I also want to include.

  Unfortunately, when I click to create the list is empty, if I did what an "artist" picked then it works fine. It's as if she does not want to create a playlist with artists that I choose.

  A receipt of suggestions how to make this work, or is this not possible?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi ianoel,

  When you add, remove, or edit items in the Player library, automatically change the content of an automatic selection according to criteria that you specified. For example, you can create a selection automatic of all songs in the Player library of your favorite singer that you rated four stars or higher. The content of this automatic selection would change automatically if you never change the side of one of the songs from this artist, or if you have added or removed a song of this artist.

  You can see this Microsoft article and check if it helps:

  Create or change an auto playlist in Windows Media Player

  Note: Steps in this article also applies to Windows 8, Media player.

  I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.
