Question

Auto-divide Slice Tool problem

Hello,

A helpful user recommended to post about my issue on this sub-forum, since a scripting solution might be possible.

I have a problem with the newest version of Photoshop. It seems this version's Slice Tool works in a slightly different way.

In Photoshop CC 2015 that I've been using till now, when I made a slice and then right clicked and chose "Divide slice", the divided slices were all selected (orange) afterwards and I could move/adjust them as I liked without having to select them with the Slice Select Tool.

It seems this is no longer how the tool behaves, because in the 2019 version, after clicking "OK" in the "Divide slice" panel, the slices are all unselected (blue) and I cannot adjust them. The only way to do it is to select them with the other tool. This takes a large amount of time though, because even with using Shift I have to manually select each singular slice.

I would appreciate any help you might offer.

Cheers

If you do a search on Slice in the Photoshop Scripting forum you will see the not much support like no DOM interfaces and with Action  manager code  It not even easy to find slices.  PSD Script and slices

https://forums.adobe.com/search.jspa?place=%2Fplaces%2F1383833&q=Slice

Can you even code a Photoshop Script?

After slicing you can use STRG+Shift to select your slices by clicking the little numbers on the left top corners of your slices without changing to the Slice select tool.

Hello, thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I am already aware of this method, and it is too time consuming, since I still have to manually pick every single slice (unless I misunderstood your proposed solution). I would like to be able to have all the slices selected from the beginning, as it was in PS 2015, or something similiar to that option.
