Interactive selection using photoshop script

How to make a script pause till the user makes a selection and continue again using photoshop script?

You can use two Scripts or one Script that, depending on some predetermined factor, performs two different tasks.

So you could for example write something into the metadata, a channel, a txt file, … when a Script is run and that information is absent, and if it isn’t have the Script perform something else and remove that again.

Edit: You probably could also set up the Script Events Manager to check for something on any Selection change and have it run a Script depending on that but I doubt that’s a good idea.

Found this searching and had a chuckle with Adobe staff (maybe that happened later?) asking forums how to do things
