Make action(folder) from "new actions panel" stickyOpen for Voting

Photoshop 27.7 / Windows 11 / x64First of all, I like the new actions panel, especially the option to “attach” an icon to any action for clear identification (would be nice to open/set your own icon(package), but I’m fine with how it works right now). But there is one, or actually two, things I don't like.Let's start with the easiest thing;Why can't I delete the predefined actions? It's called “essentials”, but they are not essential at all and take up my screen estate. Would be nice to delete those actions, their groups or the compete “tab” representing them. My other feature request is maybe an edge case, but for me it's really annoying;Please see the screen recording attached.I am a heavily (?) actions user. And I use Photoshop since version 2.0 from 1992 or so.I created a workflow with some “complex and dedicated” actions (see group “app” in the recording). Those are nested actions, custom scripts, etc… that do lot's of things within one single action.And I have lots of simple actions, like "F6 - change image size” or "F4 - flip horizontal / SHIFT + F4 - flip vertical”. Those are placed in the group "basic actions” in the recording (below the “app” actions).Now the problem / issue;I need my “app” actions always to be on the screen. Because I use them 99,99% of the time. Period.But when I simply flip a layer, or change the size of an image (F6 / F4), the actionpanel does “jump” to that particular action, does open the group were they are nested in and (worse of all) when I ‘cancel’ one of those simple shortcut-actions, it does not return to the main overview of all the actions.So every time I check the size of an image (F6 - resize / view size) and do nothing (cancel), my whole workflow is stuck on a useless panel inside the actions panel. It show the current action (image size), with noting else.And every time I see that, I have to press “back” (using the chevron in the UI), close the “basic actions” folder, scroll up to the “app” group and order my panel again.Every - single - time.I would be nice to have an option / toggle to make the UI “fixed” (or whatever you want to call it), so my main actions are always visible and not disturbed whenever I press a shortcut that triggers a complete other interface for that same panel.(hopefully you can understand what I mean) - the .gif is converted to grayscale, to make it smaller in bytes -

Seed consistency and variations of Firefly video outputReleased

I would like Firefly video to allow subsequent output of content to be consistent in look and feel with, so new content with clearly specified (by the user) variations. This is possible to a degree but has limitations as I'll cover. Examples of what I've tried to do with limited success.* Create a powerful looking character by the camera angle and the expression in the character. Then have the same character looking vulnerable. * Create character in video doing one thing for a few seconds, then the same character doing something different for a few seconds.   In the current beta version, changing the prompt slightly can give significantly different looking results.You can use a reference image but it is restrictive. As mentioned in my post Firefly Video 'Shot size' and 'Camera angle' with reference image, if you use a reference image, you can't change the camera angle by the settings or in the prompt.   Firefly Video has a seed number setting. My understanding of a seed is that if you use the same seed, prompt and settings, you would get the same image every time. This has not been the case with me. I'm not sure if this is a technical issue or me not understanding the nature of the Firefly video seeed setting. See the images below with the exact same prompt, same seed, a different looking results.Elephant example (short prompt)   Example 2 (long prompt) My experience, which I believe is a challenge with any Gen AI image/video tool, is that the more complex and longer the prompt, the less consistent, as illustrated above.   I have had some success with the same prompt but different camera angles, as in the images below. The main subject looks very similar. There are slight differences in the background. Firefly is in need of much more settings to allow you to decide what to lock in, what you'd like to be changed, and when to go new vs variation.
