So, did you guys know what you think might solve this problem?

Hi, Moving to Animate CC should help. Will let you know if we get any workaround for CS6 on High Sierra.

Thanks!

Mohan


I heard back about whether it would be possible for someone on the team to check into my crash log, and it seems everyone is busy on new features. That's good for Animate, but not so good for CS6 users. CS6 is still needed to support AS2 projects, and ones that use TLF, Animate can't do either of those things.

One idea I'll try later is to put CS6 onto an external HFS+ drive, that might be enough to stop the crashing. I'll also ask around to see if anyone can help me to look at the crash log.

My suspicion is that there is going to be some sort of file permissions issue, that could be worked around with a change in High Sierra, without needing a fix in CS6.

This crashing is known about. It happens with any action that invokes the importers, including drag to stage, import to stage, or import to library. Completely reinstalling after wiping preferences doesn't help.

I have shown crash logs to the Animate team. I don't know if they are going to look into it in order to make suggestions on how to work around the issue, other than to go back to macOS Sierra.

    Hey guys! Could you PLS! anyone tell me, if it is possible to run (import graphics to Flash CS6 Library) in High Sierra? Or should I stay on Sierra/El Capitan? Thanks! (Animate is not an option for me).

    I did found a solution to my original post. If you have your internal drive as APFS format, and Flash pro CS6 runs from there, the import problem happens. If you put Flash Pro CS6 onto an externally connected HFS+, or other format that is earlier than APFS, then the crash doesn't happen.

    import to your library.

    if that doesn't help and that crash happens with all bitmaps:

    reset your preferences -

    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/re-create-preferences-flash-professional.html

        (or remove Win:  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate CC 2017\ and

                                      C\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Animate\2017\

                            Mac:   /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Animate CC 2017/ and

                                        /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Animate/2017/)

    if that fails,

    after securing your serial number, use the uninstaller to properly uninstall cs6

    clean per Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

    restart your computer

    reinstall cs6

    By the way, the crash happens regardless of what it was you were trying to import. Just typing Command-R, where you haven't even selected a file to import, is enough to cause the crash. It's while initializing the importers that the crash happens.
