merge all layers does not work with only 1 layer

[danl42831687]

Hi,

I have several actions which I recorder, in which the first action is to merge all layers.

The problem I am facing is that whne there is only 1 layer in the "merge all layers" (CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E) command is not working. Nor does it work when there are several layers but only one is visible while all the others are hidden.

I tried to use teh Actions Condition option but there is no way to check if the documnet has 1 layer.

Is there a way to make sure tha action duplicate the current layer, in case there is opnly one latyer in the doc, otherwise it "merge all layers"?

I can oof course add a simple command which does this to my UXP plugin but the action approach is simpler now.

To use the combination (CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E)
you need to create a blank layer above the background layer.

then create a blank layer and then use the key combination
(CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E)

The action can simply add a new blank layer and then merge visible. This way a single layer image will not cause the action to fail. There is still an issue with hidden layers though.
