Hello,

do you feel that the use of many Action Sets is cumbersome?

I have always felt so. And therefore I have had all my Actions in one big clump in one single Action Set. Resulting that my Actions Palette was eating about 1/3 of the real estate of the screen. Because I want to avoid that lengthy task of pinpointing the mouse on to that very very small round spot in the Actions Palette, then ClearAllActions …and oh Yes I really do want to clear them all, once again back to that small spot and then Load Action, clickety clickety click.

But no more. I wrote a small CS2 script, the ActionSetChanger. It changes an Action Set that is loaded to the Action Palette, just by two mouse click. Is easily configurable, and fast. Does not affect other Action Sets that possibly are loaded to the Action Palette, just operates within its own group of Action Sets.

Now I have many nicely organized/categorized Action Sets (on the network drive so they are available for all the CS2 computers at the lab). And the ActionSetChanger swaps between them in a fraction of a second by just two mouse clicks that are less than 1 inch apart.

Ahh, first I forgot to add this ng group to the ng list, then I copy/pasted wrong tag to the subject list. Now the subject is correct. I’m sorry the mess. /Timo Autiokari
