Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

One approach to do what you want to do, which is essentially to flatten to a new layer while retaining the old layers is to first make a new layer, then un-click the checkbox associate with it in the layer window so it does not display in view all layers mode. Then make your muted new layer the current layer. Then run the canvas : layer commands : capture to current layer menu. This will capture a flattened snapshot of the current view all display into your new layer.
Option clicking the little layer memory button on the left side of the layer in the layer windows would actually do the same thing as running the menu command, so that's the shortcut way to do it. like all memory buttons in studio artist option clicking records (records the current view into the layer in this case), which clicking on the button switches that layer (plays back the contents of the layer into the current view).
The history sequence does record which layer you did each step in. But you would need to have the paint action sequence configuration preference called 'layer track' turned on if you wanted the layers to adjust themselves accordingly when you played back the history sequence. The history sequence is really just a second paseq that is handy to record your session history while still allowing you to use with the main paseq window in your work. So the paseq configuration settings apply to it as well. Layer Track is defaulted turned off since many people want to be able to choose a given paseq preset and then run it on whatever is their current layer. If a paseq always played back the layer info recorded in it you would not be able to do that.
What am I missing?

When you first start playing the paseq in layer track the initial layer settings (# of layers and initial control settings) should adjust accordingly but any changes you made to things like view or composite or mute while recoding the paseq will not play back.
In general, layer menu commands do not playback in a paseq. so anything you do with the layer command menus will not be recorded in your session history. the whole point of paseqs and the history is that they can be played back into c different size layers, so they don't deal with commands that do things like resize layers.
the option click on the layer memory button does record as the 'capture to layer' command in a paseq. that's because often it is useful to be able to move layer contents around in a paseq script.
