Action playback.... actions expand when played.

[_scott__]

Illustrator 29.3.1/MacOS 15.3.2

When playing an action, it expands.... so that it visibly "walks" through every step.

I have the Playback Options set to "Accelerated", so the walking is rapid, yet the action expands and I see the panel highlight every single step of the walk through.

Am I missing something?

I want to click play, and the action run while it stays collapsed. Is this not possible?

I do not need to see the steps as they are performed, nor do I want "Button Mode" - Button mode lists ALL actions in ALL sets as a button, not a specifc set. With even the default set loaded, that's a lot of panel-filling buttons. If Button Mode honored sets, where I could collaps a set, then Button Mode would be okay - but that's not how it's ever worked.

Sure thing, Anubav

Okay.. not sure why Uservoice needs yet another adobe account (that's 3 Adobe-related accounts - apps, forums, uservoice - I think)... but here it is...
