And I'd like to also add that if you set the "Make" action (new
document) to have a Modal dialog pop-up so you can set the dimensions
manually during that step of the action, the option in the drop-down to
choose "Clipboard" is disabled. That's right, the default Photoshop
behavior is disabled! For no reason! WTF???

So I upgraded to CS3 and Flash development workflow is broken.
Photoshop CS3 actions do not work like all previous versions of
Photoshop.
I have an action I've used in Photoshop for YEARS which I call
"Breakup". All this action does is
1. Copy Merged
2. Create New Document
3. Paste
The default behavior in Photoshop when you copy and then create a new
document is to use the size of the clipboard to determine the
dimensions of the new file.
In Photoshop CS2 and prior, if you record an action with these three
steps, it does not hard-code the dimensions of the new document and
instead INTELLIGENTLY defers to Photoshop's DEFAULT BEHAVIOR of using
the clipboard to determine dimensions.
In Photoshop CS3, it records the specific dimensions of the clipboard
when you recorded the copy merged action and you cannot alter this AT
ALL! As far as I'm concerned, this is BROKEN. The reason it is
BROKEN is because ALL VERSIONS BEFORE CS3 did not behave this way.
The reason it is BROKEN is because it stupidly overrides Photoshop's
INTELLIGENT DEFAULT BEHAVIOR for no reason.
I am now forced to uninstall Photoshop CS3 and use CS2 until this is
fixed. Who do I complain to? This action is critical for me to do
breakup for Flash without wanting to quit and join a monestary. The
Photoshop import in Flash CS3 is not good enough to make up for this
kind of broken behavior and now I can't use Photoshop CS3 which means
I wasted money on a product I can't use.
