I opened a topic on Actions 4 days ago, which makes it ancient, so I am starting a new one.
I cannot understand the "insert Menu" process to run a command to use an otherwise unrecordable command.
I want to call up the scanner with an action. I cannot do this normally and Tony suggested this: "Use Insert Menu Item from the actions palette flyout menu and THEN do File|Import|Epson 3200"
It doesn’t work. If I open Actions and go to "Insert Menu Item" I get a message "No Menu item selected" Ok. So I go to file>Import>Scanner, the scanner dialog opens, I go to Create a New Action, nothing. It’s frozen out.
So, I try File>New and generate a canvas. If I go now to Actions new, again I get No menu item selected. So while the new canvas is on the screen, I go to File>Import etc I get the scanner dialog box, but again, the Actions dialog box is unresponsive.
So, if one hasn’t picked a menu it won’t work, and if you do select a Menu, you are locked out.
So, if this can actually work, what are the steps staring from the beginning?
I have referred to the manual and help as well.
