Here's a quick hack job script http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3580711/StepBackwardSmart.jsx All it does is store the current active layer, do a step backward, then restore the old active layer. It doesn't seem like there's a standard script function for Step Backward, so I had to use the script recorder. I'm not totally sure this…
For the script to show up in the script list, you have to put it in the Program Files\[photoshop folder]\Presets\Scripts folder. Actually, yeah you can also assign whatever hotkey you like to the script through the Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts interface, even replacing the Step Backward shortcut. This is only available in PS…
PixelApocalypse: Use the Keyboard Shortcuts panel(Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts...) - once you've installed your script in the right folder(something like C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Presets\Scripts) it will appear in your File > Scripts menu, so in the Keyboard Shortcuts panel choose Application Menus and it'll…
This script works fine in CS4 if a I run it through the scripts menu but when I assign it to a hotkey it brings up some java debugger thing, I'm not planning to use it assigned to an F key kind of defeats the purpose of the script. Any help?
Okay I was playing around with another script today and noticed the stepbackward script in my file menu/scripts...totally forgot about this due to the previous error. So I select it from the menu and it works fine, but if I assign it to a keyboard shortcut that's when the error comes up...
Hello all ! Thanks for that simple and nice hack ! But am I the only one whose display flickers (showing briefly the same checkers PS uses to show transparency) when the script is called ? I'm using CS6. That is inconvenient, especially I can't easily see what I'm un-doing !! The flicker doesn't appear if history/back is…
Hi i'm very new to scripts. Never used it actually. I get how to assign it with an action now. But this only allows the f2-f12 keys. Is there a way to have the script bound to ctrl z?
sinistergfx, cool, is there a way to replace ctrl-z with it though? I can only assign (ctrl/shift+)Function key shortcuts to photoshop actions, and I can't seem to get the script to appear in the script list (have to browse to it to run it).
Yea I would chalk it up to something wacky on your system rather than something wonky with the script, it seems pretty simple if you look at it... genius but simple. Thanks for the script its running great in CS3 and CS4 for a few days now. I passed it onto a few friends (credit to you of course) and they love it.
It works! User error. I think I dropped the newer version you made into my 86x version scripts folder rather than the 64 bit folder. I keep doing that. Fucking future computers. "Of course there are two version of the same program lulz, have fun!" ;) Thanks again for the script!
