A long shot ... in the dark .... for a "quick select" tool enhancement
I should not bother anyone with this that is just my problem, but here I am.
As I am using CS6 and it seems that there is no way to highlight the selection while selecting it.
I have hard time to see the "marching ants" and being that I need to work on pencil sketches that are B&W and not line art or something , lots of gray tones and dots and lines it frustrates me a lot.
None of the visualizing feature of selections/masks are dynamic , they are done in multiple steps. .
I know the script that I would like to create and I have already downloaded the guide and the references and I will try on my own.
In the mean time I would like to show you guys from where way,way out in the boonies I am starting ... here is the Idea:
10 trigger is = quick select selected '...........script should start when the tool is selected or used
20 my script = start
30 if quick select released '.........................when the tool is not used (mouse up)
40 starting layer selected = false'....................... deselect selected layer
50 mock layer selected = true '..........................select preset layer
70 mock layer selection fill = opacity 50% – color blue '.................fill the selection in the preset-selected layer
90 end if
100 starting layer selected=true '....................... select original layer
I know that this will not highlight the selection as I select it ( or maybe it could if set on a timer function or detecting the mouse_move),
Anyway any help or ..... advice to desist will be both appreciate.
If you know how to execute even one line of my ridiculous pseudo code please don't hesitate .... Thank you.

To me it seems like you are describing quick mask edit mode where you change Adobe default red overlay color and opacity to a blue color.

Re: Help with UI: Script execution order when selecting Radio and Checkbox options
You would put in after line 53. Line 52 checks to see if the okay button pressed and runs code accordingly.

Re: Getting average rgb value of an image on photoshop with javascript?
Using scriptListener, you could create a merged stamp visible layer ctrl-alt-shift-e for win. Then apply the average filter. You can then use the colorsampler to get what the average rgb value is and adjust the text layer accordingly. You can then delete the merged layer.

Re: Export layers and Save as
What my overall plan is will be adding this to the bottom of another script that will watch a hot folder and open a .pdf (Single or Multi Page) then jump to this script and save each layer as a flattened .tif... When I'm running the script by itself from the script editor it stops and those lines turn orange. I'll attach both scripts below so you can see what the ultimate plan is...

Re: Export layers and Save as
There is your problem, I guess – a file that has been created by converting a pdf is new, it has no suffix yet.
What happens when you remove the line
var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
?

Re: A long shot ... in the dark .... for a "quick select" tool enhancement
Yes and no, the quick mask mode does not have the "smartness" that the magnetic or quick select tool have.
It is the closest thing to what I need, but (as far as I know ) it uses the brush to create the selection.
Could the quick mask mode be somewhat integrated with the magnetic or quick select tool ?
Thank you
Addendum:
Is it possible to change with a script the default b&w dots of the marching ants to a neon color an thicker then 1px ?
(Believe it or not the right side has a "visible" marching ants selection.)

Bug: Logical && and || operator precedence is broken
Not sure if this is the right place to report this.
In Boolean algebra, the logical AND operator has higher order-of-operations precedence than logical OR. Therefore, the following two expressions should be equivalent:
(true && true) || (true && false) // Result: true true && true || true && false // Result: false in JSX (should be true)
In JSX, their results vary as indicated. The second expression is equivalent to this:
((true && true) || true) && false
This does not follow logical order of operations. I confirmed that the two expressions both evaluate to true in other JavaScript engines.
Workaround: Always use parens, but now I can't run my code through a minifier or obfuscator because it removes the extra parens to make the code smaller.

Breaking Selection into different layers
If i had a segmented selection, is there a way to identify that the selection is not one concave shape?
i could then identify them and put each of them into different layers.
All these different shapes are in one layer, and I've selected the active pixels in the layer.
Is there a way to identify that they are separate them objects into separate them into different layers?

Re: Open Multi Page pdf Script - Sized to Media Box
OK.. quick question I'm working on this trying to finish my process... I can get your script to work great opening the multi page .pdf, but what I'm wanting to do is change it from opening a dialog box to choose the file to grab all the files in a particular folder... I've got a script I use in illustrator to do this, but it's obviously not transferring well to Photoshop... Any suggestions...???
Another difference in this case... I'm not trying to paste into a currently open document, so I know the verbiage will need to change but not sure how to make it happen
Thanks

app.open(Zundtmpfile); /// Not Needed
//Place New Image
var fo = Folder ( '~/Desktop/Test/IN' );
var files = fo.getFiles ( /* you may want to use a filter function here. See doc */ );

Re: A long shot ... in the dark .... for a "quick select" tool enhancement
Adobe Marching Ants only outline Pixels the are mor than 50% selected. A script can not chant that or change how the marching ants are displayed. A script could add a work layer on top and fill the selection with a color and stroke the layer with a neon color so many pixels wide so you can see what the selection looks like better. But if you alter the selection the work layer would need to be deleted and re-created.
