How to disable the warning " No pixel is highlighted by more than 50%"?

[SerezhaB]

Hello everyone.

Tell me how I can disable the warning " Attention: No pixel is highlighted by more than 50%. The borders of the selected area will not be visible."during the execution of my script?

I tried to write at the beginning of the script 

app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;

but it did not help.

Try not to make a selection from the path, but turn on the QuickMask mode, fill the path with the desired feather with black (or white depending on the QuickMask mode), turn the QuickMask into a selection.

Bingo! )

UPD. It doesn't seem to work, I was wrong. 

UPD2. Although I checked it manually and not with a script. In the script, it might work

That's good trick to retrieve original selection. I have for you another puzzle 😄

Fill new created document with 50% grey, then run your 4 steps script.

Enable QuickMask mode, and quit it. What warning do you see? 😛

Ps. you can do it by creating 1x1 pixel selection, enabling QM, filling with 50% opacity to quit it.

[r-bin]

Try this setting for QuickMask.

In this case, even in manual mode, there are no messages (the 1x1 path must be filled with black and feather 2). 

In another mode, there will be a message (if done in manual mode) 

Now it is not possible to check different modes using a script.

[Kukurykus]

Yes, now it works. But I don't know in what another mode(s) you're talking?

This errors with >

This is insane that in 2022 this is still not fixed ;[[[[ !!!!!

[Kukurykus]

No problem for me in 23.3 when using this snippet (also with whole code). Attach your file.

[Dariusz1989]

Hmmm, just tweaked my code now and it started to run. Looks like I had to merge all layers together and then run the routine rather on them splitteed.

Yay!

Also ehhh, this will have a problem when I max out alpha channels count where I won't be able to make any more of them. How will I make my mask then? :- (((( 

[Kukurykus]

Maybe post some screenshots to let others easier understand what you mean 😉

[Dariusz1989]

Hey,
@Kukurykus I mean that when user max out alpha channel count > 

This script will fail. Thus adobe should fix that warning error :[[[[

Report it in: Bugs conversation type with SDK & Actions and scripting labels

[r-bin]

Finally I managed to add a message. The solution is in the last message.

[Kukurykus]

Perhaps you know how to read whether Masked / Selected Areas are checked in Quick Mask Options?

[r-bin]

if (!app.activeDocument.quickMaskMode) app.activeDocument.quickMaskMode = true;

select_quick_mask();
alert(channel_color_indicates())

function select_quick_mask()
    {
    try { 
        var d = new ActionDescriptor();
        var r = new ActionReference();

        r.putName(stringIDToTypeID("channel"), "Quick Mask");
        d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
        executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("select"), d, DialogModes.NO);

        var d = new ActionDescriptor();
        var r = new ActionReference();
        r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("RGB"));
        d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
        executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("show"), d, DialogModes.NO);
        }
    catch (e) { throw(e); } 
    }

function channel_color_indicates()
    {
    try {
        var r = new ActionReference();
        r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID( "alphaChannelOptions" ) );
        r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));

        var ret = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("alphaChannelOptions")).getEnumerationValue(stringIDToTypeID("colorIndicates"));

        if (ret == stringIDToTypeID("selectedAreas")) return true;

        return false;
        }
    catch (e) { throw(e); } 
    }

'alphaChannelOptions', so that was the property I was looking for, thx!
