Question

Sharing scripts across multiple computers

Hi,
I'm currently working on customizing Bridge (ie. custom file info panel, start-up scripts), but I would like to share the changes I make with a group of users.

So far, what I've been doing is modifying a start-up script or custom panel, and then sending it to each person, and telling them where on their system to put the file. It would be much easier to have a shared instance of the file, so I could just modify that file directly. Is this possible? (We all have access to a shared drive, but I can't figure out how to get something on that drive to be detected by Bridge)

Wayne,

I'm pretty sure there is no way to redirect Bridge and File Info to look elsewhere for custom panels.

One thing you might consider doing is publishing the shared panels on a web or FTP server on your intranet or on the internet. You could then use the JavaScript web and ftp access tools to write a script that would synchronize the panels in the local folder with panels on the server.

What about in the case of the custom panel?
Normally Bridge checks (for the mac I'm using)
'Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/'
Is there a way to also point at a shared directory?

You can use an external script by including, something like:

#include c:/myScript.jsx
#include "x:/My Scripts/myOtherScript.jsx"

But I don't know how multiple apps accessing the same script will work out.

Cheers.
