Apply a selected layer to all layer comps

ah, got it.

what about running a script listener based on position and appearance update for the layer comp, see what code you comeback with and make adjustments that way to make it workable?

Just reposting this and hoping someone can really help with this......I know scripting layer comps are hard but what about using script listener to control not only visibilty but positioning and appearance too.

This is the biggest problem and pain of layer comps where if you have 10-40+ comps, it's very painful and tedious to update any global elements....

If anyone can help, truly would be the biggest help of all time......

This is the workaround I use:

1. Duplicate the selected Layers or Layer Groups.
2. Delete the original selected Layers or Layer Groups.
3. Select the newly created Layer or Layer Groups
4. Run the above script to update visibility across all (selected) Layer Comps.

This works. Would be even better if we could script step 1-2-3 as well. Anyone else?
