How to select multiple layers in photoshop via a script

Is there a way to select multiple Photoshop layers via a script without using the listener script? I am

looking everywhere in the API, but I'm not able to find anything. Maybe im just not true, please help!

Select more than one layer requires the action handler code. the DOM can not do and is slower anyway. If you use scriptlistener works, here's what you should go with.

  • Photoshop CS6 - how to select multiple non-consecutive layers folders?

    Hi, as the title asks, how to select multiple non-consecutive layers folders? I find myself needing to move folders from a psd doc to another. Currently I have to move the folders of layers together, so I can select them and move them. I would like to save this step and just do something like ctrl + click on layer folders anywhere on the stacking order, as you can with regular layers. Possible? Thanks for any help!

  • How to move multiple layers of one file to another?

    I used to have Photoshop CS4 and displacement of the layers between files was so easy - as long as I had chosen, I could drag all or in the menu layer or image and drop them in the other file. Now, I have Photoshop elements 14, and no matter what I do, it doesn't seem like I can move several layers at the same time. Just one at a time. And the layer must be visible to move - I didn't used to have to do it in CS4. It's extremely frustrating because I have more than 50 PSDs premade, I use for editing photos, and I would like to be able to move each individual each PSD layer in each file of the photo, so I can test most / all of them to see what works best with the photo. If I can only move one layer at a time, which makes the slow work to a crawl. I really need to be able to simply select all the PSD files and pass at once - and they should not have to be visible in order to move them. Can someone tell me how to proceed? I'm new so the use of the elements, and it seems so different from CS4, I'm having a lot of trouble with this transition

    SHIFT select the layers that you want to copy/move with the right button of the mouse and choose Duplicate Layer (or the menu Layer/Duplicate layer...). A dialog box asking where you want to copy them to appear. Under the 'document' option, choose a new document or an existing PSD that you opened.

  • How to select multiple duplicates to remove

    I show multiple copies of the same songs in my itunes. It is probably because I have a few external drives with backups attached to my main PC. I want to store the Itunes library, and I know how to remove the duplicates, but can do for simple songs. I want to be able to select all duplicates and remove it at once. Does anyone know how I could do this?

    You can select a range of songs by selecting one, and then shift-click on another, you can add or remove individual tracks with ctrl + click and ctrl + shift + click can add a new group to the selection. However, I would recommend the following...

    iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning toback up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

  • How to select multiple audio outputs

    Outputs audio multiples?

    Hello.

    After a lot of fiddling around with audio drivers on my PC I have given up and need help. Basically, what I want to do is to e able to connect my headset to my computer, and have his fate by a request to be played through my helmet, while at the same time have the music to say that iTunes paid through my speakers so you can listen to something deep and have my speakers on at the time of Sam. After failing using the windows mixer thing, I downloaded the Realtek audio drivers, which I can't seem to understand how to use it in this way.
    If it helps, my motherboard has integrated audio card, so no sound.
    Thank you

    Hello

    This is possible, but the application needs to have the ability to choose what output device to use. For Windows Media Player, it is under Tools > Options > Devices tab > speakers and then click Properties. Then in the drop-down list, you should see all the features available on your machine. I don't know if iTunes has such an option. But what you might therefore open the audio Panel and some device you want by default for iTunes use the value. Change the option of Windows Media Player to use your headphones.

    Thank you

  • How to select multiple lines of text?

    I need to "BOLD" certain positions and instead of choosing one, then formatting, and then by selecting another, formatting, etc... is there a way to select/highlight several lines of text and apply formatting to each of them at the same time? The sections are separated by other lines of text, they are not continuous.

    Thank you for your help. I use Dreamweaver CS5.5.

    I can not properly explained. How can I physically select several strings of text with the cursor? Some applications allow you to hold the CTRL key, for example. DW offers a similar feature?

    You have to wait for one of the next versions of Dreamweaver when media becomes an integral part of the tools of coding or do as Nancy and I do, use brackets to the sides of Dreamweaver.

  • How to select random pixels in photoshop

  • How to export multiple layers to separate PDF files?

    I just upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite and all my CC Adobe until 2015. So far I love it, but I have a nagging problem: export layers to separate PDF files.

    My file has 38 layers, each of them must be separated in PDF format, so I use the script that is embedded in SaveDocsAsPDFs. The first time I run it, it ends up split on most files, but not all, so I thought I'd run it once again: no chance. Whenever I run the present, he eventually put all the active layers in a pdf from single page instead of save them as individual PDF files. I've spent the better part of two hours online hunting and are all I can find third-party scripts that actually do what I need, rather than use the builtin scripts.

    Is there a way someone can help me with this problem? I'll have much, much more files like that and I would use the original if possible script. It is everything on a Mac. Specs below.

    Mac Pro

    Quad-Core Intel Xeon

    3.2 GHz

    32 GB

    The SaveDocsAsPDFs allows to save multiple documents open simultaneously in artificial intelligence to separate files. He doesn't have layers in separate documents. You can use one of the scripts that you got to do what you want.
