add action: layer name and group color

[furushil]

Hello,

I want to make a button which does the following:

1. duplicate selected layers
2. merge selected layers
3. rename layer to "merged"
4. set first group color (or a specific group color)

So far I have found "duplicate selected layers" and "merge selected" but I cannot find the last two functions.
Could someone tell me how I can add them?

It's in "Layer > Rename"

It's in "Layer > Rename"

Thank you Elodie but if I choose that, I have to type in "merged" every time. Is there a way to have it named "merged" automatically.
It is probably very simple but I don't know anything about george script. I will try to look through the manual.

Oh ! ok. In that case, yes, you must use a script (but I cannot help :s)

You can use this code for the two last

Choose "Embedded George Script" in the action and paste the following code

Code: Select all

tv_LayerRename 0 "merge"
tv_layercolor "set" 0 1

read about the two george functions here
