Its a shame that Adobe chooses not to fix reported bugs.

I figured out how to make it work, at least for the fill path part, but never posted back.

After you record the initial action for fill path, just go back and double click on the fill path action to record again and it works.

Though the set selection still doesn't record the settings.

Thanks for verifying.

Yes, that's certainly good advice about using an older pre cs4 version for actions as the glitches seem to get more plentiful with each new version.

Seems to be just an other Adobe bug introduce some time ago. CS6 and CS5 on Windows 7 record the same way Fill current path with whole path nothing else. Same with set selection CS5 and CS6 work the same both 64bit and 32bit. If you want to use Photoshop Automation I would suggest you use CS3 it has fewer bugs then Cs4, CS5 and CS6 when it comes to automation.

I was recording some actions for photoshop elements using paths and noticed something strange in photoshop cs6 13.01 on windows 8.

Recording an action of filling a path or making a selection from a path, didn't seem to record the settings.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select the Rectangle Tool and set the option to paths in the tool options bar.

2. Draw out a rectangle.

3. Save the workpath in the paths panel by double clicking on the path thumbnail in the paths panel.

4. Make a new action and hit the record button.

5. Try using the Fill Path (from the flyout menu in the paths panel) with dialog and set to whatever option you want.

(i used 50% Gray in my test)

6. Try using the Make Selection with dialog from the flyout menu in the paths panel.

Neither action seems to record the parameters (settings).

Playing back the action uses whatever the last settings were.

I expected the settings to be recored as photoshop 7 does (second action in the screenshot below)

Photoshop cs6 13.01 is the first action shown.

Does anybody else see this on their machines with photoshop cs6?
