P: Actions do not work properly, while "Open Documents as Tabs" are not selected

I also have this issue - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/44215... for more details.

Thank you, guys! But I have a lot of Actions that been created in the PS CS5.1, that do not work now. Hope this bug will be covered in a future updates. Best regards!

Hi Sergei,

Another thing to try is moving your 'Make' step from the top down to be in-between the 'Close' and 'Paste' steps.

Hi Sergei,

Thanks for the downloadable action. That helped us see where the problem lies.
I've been able to reproduce the issue in CS6 in Windows (not on Mac), but not in CS5. Seems it's a new bug, I'll make sure it gets looked at.

It looks like the "Paste" command is happening too fast, and before the first image really comes to focus to be able to paste in.

As a workaround, here's what you can do.
Record these steps in your action AFTER the Close command.
Select the Close command, and click the "Record" button in Actions Panel.
Click the Panel Flyout and choose "Playback Options"
Click "Step by Step" and click OK
Then click Stop recording
THEN
Select the Paste step, click Record again
Click the Panel Flyout and choose "Playback Options"
Click Accelerated, then click OK.

This will cause Photoshop to slow down a bit between the close and paste command in order to wait for the image to become in focus.

Hope this helps!

Dear Peter! I have uploaded ZIPped ATN-file to my web-server, you can get it here: http://www.lepyokhin.com/misc/testset... The file contains ATN-file and tested PSD file, that should be placed to the C:\ drive, at the root-folder. Then you can try the Action with "Open Documents as Tabs" toggled on and off. Hope this can help to understand the problem. With best regards, Sergei.

I'm able to setup an action to do the following:

My action steps:
Selects all
Copy Merged
Select Next Document
Paste

In my tests in both Win and Mac I'm able to perform this action successfully both with tabbed, and non-tabbed (floating) windows

Could you provide a screenshot of your action steps in the actions panel? or provide some other information that might be causing the issue?

Thanks
