Questions

Hi, I have an extension which I have created 3 different versions (greek, german, english) in order to sell to multilingual customers. Is there a possiblily to create a hybrid that triggers the appropreate version according the language of Photoshop that the user uses?Any help or hint will be useful because it gets confusing having 3 different versions of the same extension.

In our currently Flash / Flex extension we can do the follow:var win:Window = new Window();win.type = CSXSWindowType.MODAL_DIALOG;win.open();I can't seem to find an equivilant in the new API.  We simply need to create a new Modal window and set its contents.  Is this possible to do?We use this to display about information, settings menus, etc for the extension.Cheers,Nate

Hey guys,So I've had settings put into the flyout menu of my extension for easily a year or two now and in the latest adobe update it's disappeared which really really breaks the usability of it.Here's a snippet of me setting the menu up.function init() {                // Ugly workaround to keep track of "checked" and "enabled" statusesvar checkableMenuItem_isChecked = true;var targetMenuItem_isEnabled = true;// Flyout menu XML string var flyoutXML = '<Menu> \                            <MenuItem Id="modes" Label="Modes" Enabled="false"/>\                            <MenuItem Label="---" /> \<MenuItem Id="selectedGroupMode" Label=

Hello everybody,for internatinalization of out Panel I need to change the labels of the Flyoutmenu.The updatePanelMenuItem function uses the menuItemLabel as identifier, i think - why not the MenuItem ID?!So my question is:Is it possible to change the FlyoutMenuItem label?Thanks!

I'm wondering if there are APIs which can help to automate/manage a process of submitting and publishing extensions. Currently, I don't see any other way than submit and publish extensions via "Adobe Exchange Program" manually.

Hi,    As a script developer, my main job is develop automation solutions for prepress and marketing professionals. Based in Europe, budgets are tight. Projects are billed by the hour. Every minute is crucial. Using reliable development solutions is a key ingredient in delivering solutions on time, within budget. Previous year, Adobe replaced the long overdue Extendscript by a VS code plugin.Unfortunately, problems significantly increased. Last week I did a small projects on a small budget. Due to serious debugging issues when using the plugin, an 8 hour job became a 36 hour job.24 hours could not be billed. At the end, I had to switch back to Extendscript toolkit to be able to Finnish the task. Some of my issues:   The content of variables are empty or not displayed. Every few minutes, the extention crashes   Array content not visible. Variable is extended. No items are displayed.   The content of the variables are swapped between the local view and the wat

Hello, this was shared some time ago in the Photoshop forum, and it is relevant for other programs, so I'm sharing it here:  https://scriptui.joonas.me/ basically, it is a way to build and see the scriptui panels in a browser.   There is also this very important resource about ScriptUI: https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/scriptui.html

Hey guys, I've released beta of my plugin. I have waiting list on the plugin, but because I am designer and I can't code, I am not able to release full plugin with all needed functionalities. Please reach me out through message.Thanks  

Hi,Is this possible to run a JavaScript script (NodeJs) as a background process from a CEP extension?At the moment, I can run a NodeJs script in the background but only if Node is already installed on the target machine.I would like to be able to spawn the same Node process used by Adobe instead of using an external Node.

Several developers have complained that Chrome 80 breaks debugging for CEP panels, with errors like "document.registerElement is not a function". If you are facing this problem, try @justin2taylor's suggestion:   Use the CEF Client provided with each CEP Version on the Github. For CEP 9, use this one:  https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/tree/master/CEP_9.x

Let me start by sayign that last time I used the debugger was perhaps 4 minths ago and all was working well.Now whne I try to debud my panel, I type http://localhost:8005/ and i see the image below.However, when I click the link to my panle I get a blank screen.This happens with 3 panles I checked, I get this:I havn't changed anything in my scripts since the last time it worked and the only deferences may be the new bersion fo PS and perhaps updates to chrome.Has anything changed recently it the way .debug file works? I use win10, latest version with latest version of PS 

As someone who is used to the early CC versions of Flash/Animate where extensions were easy to create and distribute, the current process is very difficult to understand. It looks like we have to use the Exchange Program. This is fine except there is no way to distibute in private Creating a listing in the "market" does have a private option but is greyed out with "This feature will be available in the future." Question - any eta on this future date when it is possible to distribute privately?    

I'm trying to install this extension: https://exchange.adobe.com/creativecloud.details.103294.html.The "Install" button on that page appears to work, but does not actually install the extension. The "Download Impira Plugin for Adobe Creative Cloud" button on this page does work. I'm the maintainer of this extension and it would be great if users could download directly from that first link. Having users install the Anastasiy's Extension Manager is not ideal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all!   It's been 2 days since I'm stuck in this problem. I'll describe it:   I have a CEP extension inside Adobe InDesign 2020, using CEP 8.0, inside a Windows 10 Oracle virtualbox machine, that is inside a Linux native computer. In this extension, I am using VueJS (that proved itself  (to me) working good inside CEP env) and within that single-page-application I am using the superagent library (can be found here https://www.npmjs.com/package/superagent) to fetch some data from a REST API service hosted inside my linux machine. Thefore, I have:A Linux machine running a REST API service.A Windows inside a virtual machine with Adobe Indesign and an extension trying to access the REST API Service using superagent library. I hope I was clear enough.    And when I hit the button to fire up the request, I get this error in the debugger (google chrome):   Error: Request has been terminated Possible causes: the network is offline, Origin is not all

My company provides a solution that installs, among other things, an Illustrator Extension.  This Extension relies on the AIHostAdapter plug-in to get host events from Illustrator, and so it includes this plug-in as part of our installed files. We are working on getting our software to pass all of Apple's new notarization requirements, and some of the warnings (soon to be errors) are caused by issues with this AIHostAdapter plug-in.  The plug-in we have is the same that was introduced with Illustrator CC 2014.  It still works as of AI 2020, but it will need updates to pass notarization checks.   The biggest issue is that the AIHostAdapter plug-in is built against a pre- macOS 10.9 SDK.  There are also warnings that it is not signed and does not include a timestamp. As a test, I created a zip file of the plug-in and submitted it for notarization. At first, I get these errors about it not being signed:   "issues": [ { "severity": "error", "cod

Hi All,I want to start my extension at staring of the app. As per the documentation, Lifecycle/StartOn/Event in manifest.xml can be used. I have used it like this in my manifest file :<Lifecycle>  <StartOn>      <Event>applicationActivate</Event>  </StartOn>  </Lifecycle>But, I can't see the extension starting automatically.The starting behaviour for like this: If the app is closed with extension open, the extension will load automatically on next start of the app and if the extension is closed or minimized while closing the app, the extension doesn't start.

I am using Extension Builder 3. Created a new Application Extension project. When I tried to run, I get an error. I have set the path to premier pro application in the preferences - /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018/Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Premiere Pro CCI also followed the instructions in Adobe Extension Builder and Creative Cloud 2014 Is there anything else I need to do to get the extension builder to work. ThanksAnand

Hi,   So I have my CEP Html panel working, but discovered in my work place some who install my plugin it goes into a different Library folder.   This works fine if I trigger the jsx file in AE   var thisFile = new File($.fileName);           var basePath = thisFile.path;           var file = new File(basePath + "/test.jsx");           file.open("r");           eval(file.read());           file.close();   However if I do it via the CEP Panel   main.js var csInterface = new CSInterface; var button = window.document.getElementById('btna'); button.onclick = function (){     csInterface.evalScript("myBtnone()");       }   MainScript.jsx function myBtnone(){        &n

Hi All,I have created an extension for AI that includes 2 other extensions as well.I have followed this link in doing so,Re: HTML5 Opening a Modal Dialog from Extension? My manifest looks like this,<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ExtensionManifest Version="5.0" ExtensionBundleId="com.MyExtension" ExtensionBundleVersion="1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">    <ExtensionList>        <Extension Id="com.MyExtension.mainPanel" Version="1.0" />        <Extension Id="com.MyExtension.panel1" Version="1.0" />        <Extension Id="com.MyExtension.panel2" Version="1.0" />    </ExtensionList>    <ExecutionEnvironment>        <HostList>            <Host Name="ILST" Version=

I am currently delving into CEP and Panel creation. I have a button that runs the function below. The event essentially creates a document and names the document to the name stored in the variable in "docName". The code below works:function creteDoc() {  var docName = "MyDocument"  exec = 'documents.add(500, 500, 72, "' + docName +'")';  csInterface.evalScript(exec);}However, I the code doesn't run when I change this line:exec = 'documents.add(500, 500, 72, "' + docName +'")';TOexec = "documents.add(500, 500, 72, " + docName + ")";Why I am asking is because I want to use the button name (this.name) which is "500" to change the size of the document essentially ending up with: exec = "documents.add(" + this.name + "," + this.name + ", 72, " + docName + ")";Writing the code above will not run, unless the docName is a number.exec = "documents.add(" + this.name + "," + this.name + ", 72, " + this.name + ")"; <- works Any insight or help will be appreciated! Thank you!

Hit there, does anybody knows the actual url for the timestamp server accepted by ZXPSignCmd for pakaging CEP extensions for Adobe CC?  Regards. 

Hello. Is it possible in ExtendScript to determine if the script is running by Premiere or AfterEffects?I mean something like:if (app.name == "Premiere") { ... do something in Premiere ... } else if (app.name == "AfterEffects") { ... do something in AE ... }

Hi, I'm doing some tests rendering WebGL stuff inside Illustrator. It works, but everything in the canvas is scaled at 1.25, i.e. everything seems 25% larger. I'm attaching an image that shows the same thing being rendered in Chrome (background) and in Adobe CEP (foreground). Any idea on what's going on? Thanks in advance,Alex
