Currently I’m trying to restore / use the same opacity number everywhere and I need to drag the mouse precisely on the gauge…
I tried to enter numbers after focusing the gauge but it didn’t work.
EDIT: looking at other popups using a slider gauge like A little love for slices I realise that a universal solution to support both gauge slider and numerical input may be better. In some apps we can click once (without moving the mouse), right-click or double-click on a slider gauge to enter a numerical value, while still able to drag to select an approximate value. I personally like the right-click approach since it doesn’t do anything else at the moment. And if applied to all gauge widgets, this would fix the issue for all gauges, native or from third-party scripts, at once.
I made you a simple script. Put this file in the scripts folder. I hope it helps!
-- Get the active layer
local layer = app.activeLayer
if layer == nil then
return app.alert("There is no active layer, please select a layer and try again.")
end
-- Get the active layer
local layer = app.activeLayer
if layer == nil then
return app.alert("There is no active layer")
end
-- Prompt the user for the new opacity value
local dlg = Dialog("Set Layer Opacity")
dlg:number {
id="opacity",
label="Opacity (0-255):",
value=layer.opacity
}
dlg:button {
text="OK",
onclick=function()
-- Get the opacity value from the dialog
local opacity = dlg.data.opacity
if opacity < 0 then
opacity = 0
end
if opacity > 255 then
opacity = 255
end
-- Set the opacity of the active layer
layer.opacity = opacity
app.refresh()
return
end
}
dlg:button {
text="Cancel",
onclick=function()
-- Close the dialog without changing anything
dlg:close()
end
}
dlg:show{wait=false}
