Question

What is the method to perform "Add/Subtract Tool of the selected type" using the SDK

I am trying to figure out the method to method to perform "Add/Subtract Tool of the selected type" using the SDK.

The current KBSC assigned to those commands are not good anymore to me and so I would rather create equivalent scripts myself to which assign my own KBSC.

 

I would also like to create my own "Intersect Tool of the selected type" script because that command is missing.

 

I tried to use LrDevelopController.getSelectedMaskTool ()  but it doesn't' seem to be the right choice.

 

Can anyone enlighten me?

    [Catching up on SDK issues...]

     

    See these three methods:

     

    LrDevelopController.addToCurrentMask()

    LrDevelopController.subtractFromCurrentMask()

    LrDevelopController.intersectWithCurrentMask()

    If I write the following but it doens't work.

     

    local LrDevelopController = import "LrDevelopController"

LrDevelopController.getSelectedMaskTool ()
LrDevelopController.intersectWithCurrentMask ()

     

     

    I was expecting the maskTool provided by the LrDevelopController.getSelectedMaskTool  to be used but I still need to specify the maskType maskSubtype to intersect myself.

     

    Several weeks ago I already have created all Intersections, with all tools, but what I need is a "Intersect Tool of the selected type".

     

    I am just a bit lost here.

    Looking at the description in the API Reference, intersectWithCurrentMask() applies to the currently selected mask in the user interface:

     

    So for example:

    LrDevelopController.intersectWithCurrentMask ("aiSelection", "sky")
