Here are sample PSD file and simple script that iterates through all top layers and make them invisible. In case there is a LayerSet script call merge() to it before making it invisible. The problem is after calling merge() to LayerSet_1 already processed and invisible Layer_1 become visible again. The issue is only occur if Layer_1 is selected when script is launched. If LayerSet_1 is selected - there are no issues.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the sample image/script, I can reproduce this and will investigate further. One workaround is to set the active layer with the current loop layer:

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; ++i) {           
                var layer = doc.layers[i];
                app.activeDocument.activeLayer = layer;
    ...

    Thanks for the report!

    Eric
