Hey All.I have had this issue before, and I think it was fixed, but in fairness I did not pursue the problem.My issue is I have a script that draws a window using ScriptUI, with the window type of Palette.In ESTK it works fine, but using the same code in VSCode, my window doesn't show up.Changing a dialog type works OK.I need a palette type as the window needs to be non modal.Here is a video hopefully showing the issue.Interestingly, with the script in debug mode, and putting a breakpoint in, I can issue the command to show the window, and it DOES show, but as soon as the script exits, so does the window.I know it must be a simple thing i need to change, but cannot find any solutions anywhere else.Here is a link to the videoVSCode Extendscript Issue - YouTube Many ThanksRoyston

Hi,I recently started creating CEP extensions and a client said that one of my extensions doesn't work in Photoshop CC 2017.He said the panel is simply blank / empty after opening.I develop on PS 2019 and everything is working fine for me. I'm quite sure that I didn't include any newer photoshop functions, so it should also work with lower versions.Here's the manifest.xml:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><ExtensionManifest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ExtensionBundleId="shadowify" ExtensionBundleName="Shadowify" ExtensionBundleVersion="1.0.0" Version="6.0">  <ExtensionList>   <Extension Id="shadowify" Version="1.0.0"/>  </ExtensionList>  <ExecutionEnvironment>   <HostList>   <Host Name="PHXS" Version="16.0" />   <Host Name="PHSP" Version="16.0" />   </HostList>   <LocaleList>   <Locale Cod

Hi,Any idea what can be wrong here?I packed my panel and it installs as it should on a PC using ExtensionManager_win.The same install manager on a mac gives me this:Am i missing something, perhaps in my manifest file?I tried to unzip it under: Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensionsBut when i try to run it i got a message that it was not properly signed.The same zxp file was installed and reported no suck errors on Win10.when i set :defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.8 PlayerDebugMode 1I can opens and run as it shouldI attached the relevant parts from it:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><ExtensionManifest ExtensionBundleId="com.myextention" ExtensionBundleName="myextention" ExtensionBundleVersion="0.0.3" Version="7.0">  <Author>Dan Lieberman</Author>  <Contact mailto="info@xx.yyy"/>  <Abstract href="http://www.addrtoweb"></Abstract>  <ExtensionList>    <Extension Id="co

I am attempting to print a file from my panel before closing it.Here is the print script:function Print () {if(app.documents.length > 0){var opts = new PrintOptions();opts.printerName = 'Art Laserjet';opts.printPreset = '[Default]'app.activeDocument.print(opts);  }}This works fine when I run from the ExtendScript Debugger in VSCode. When I attempt to run this from my panel, I get an error alert from Illustrator, "Can't Print the illustration. The Color Management settings are inconsistent."I've attempted to add PrinterColorMangementOptions to the PrintOptions var, but they didn't seem to make a difference. Maybe I just did it wrong? Anyone have any experience with this? I can provide more code if needed.EDIT my console is feeding me: "Error: an Illustrator error occurred: 300 ('')" . Hopefully this helps get me an answer

Hi,I intend to publish my first 2 panels for PS on The Developer Portal.I want to offer free versions and paid ones.I guess for this I need to upload 2 different version of the panels, correct? That means 4 versions so far (2 panels)If, e.g. I offer each panel for $10, and I want to offer 2 panels together for $15, is that possible or will that cause too many duplication since in this case i would have to upload:2 free version, 2 payed version1 payed version for 2 panels together.What I want to know is whether this is acceptable since I am uploading the same panels only packed differently and priced differently.Thanks,

Hello,I have two versions of Adobe InDesign installed on my computer (CC 2017 and CC2018).I am creating an extension for both versions.I use grunt-cep for building and launching my extension (in release or debug mode).Debugger tools worked well on InDesign CC2017 when I had only this one installed.Now that I have both, if I run in debug mode my extension on InDesign CC2018, debugger tools work as expected.But if I run my extension in debug mode on CC2017, debugger tools doesn't work properly :- Sometimes, I have my panel listed, but not linked to debug window (cannot access it)- Sometimes, I can access to it but :- elements panel is empty ; I have to switch to another, close debug, and go back to have them. But I cannot see CSS ... (this is my main problem)- console panel as no scrollbar .. I cannot access to all logs- some panels are just "broken" ; i can see only a part of themDon't know what I can do to solve that ... My register key for PlayerDebugMode seems Ok ...Thanks in advance

Hi,I am trying to include the file myFunc.jsx which has local functions I created.It contains e.g:function getDocName() {    return app.documents.length ? app.activeDocument.name : "No docs open!";}getDocName is used in my main.js file:function f_DocName() {var csInterface = new CSInterface();$("#btnDocName").click(function () {csInterface.evalScript('getDocName()', function (result) {$("#folderName").val(result);});});}I tried to load the jsx in my main.js file like this:function loadJSX() {var csInterface = new CSInterface();var extensionRoot = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION) + "/host/include/";csInterface.evalScript('$._ext.evalFiles("' + extensionRoot + '")');  }And of course I call loadJSX() in my init function.But getDocName() was not recognized, not unless i defined it in my main.jsx fileWhat is the right way to include jsx files with local function to be accessed from within main.js ?Thank you

I run an online store that aims to provide fun, creative AE tools - https://davey.studio/ - I'm interested in the idea of partnering with an experienced extension developer to pump out new tools and share in the profits. Contact me through my site if you are interested in furthering the conversation. Also, if you know someone that may be interested, I would be very grateful if you were to pass on the message.Hopefully this is within the guidelines of the forum Thanks!

Hi,I create a panel and I noticed that since it does some calculation after I press my main "Run" button:The user can mistakenly think it is not running and press the "Run" button again which may cause the main function to run several times.How can I allow only a single press of this button?The relative functions are:in the main.js i use:csInterface.evalScript('createSplitExportWrapper(' + JSON.stringify(panelData) + ')');in jsx i use:function createSplitExportWrapper(panelData) {    var scriptFile = "/wrappers/createSplitExportWrapper.jsx";    var runScript = File(scriptDir + scriptFile);    // alert("scriptDir:\n" + runScript);    $.evalFile (runScript); }

I have a CEP plugin panel for Adobe Premiere which allows the user to search for assets in a remote system and add them to the project using drag & drop.  Specifically it is populating the "com.adobe.cep.dnd.file" property in the dataTransfer event property on the dragStart event.  I have been adapting the plugin to work with After Effects but this particular feature is not working.  I have checked the documentation and code samples for CEP 8 and CEP 9 and nothing seems to address whether the API doesn't work and/or uses a different property for messaging.  Is anyone aware if there is an API / event model for drag & drop from a CEP panel in After Effects?  Thanks!

I'm working on a Photoshop CES extension and attempting to encrypt data using CryptoJS. This works, except when I convert the encrypted data to a string and then try to decrypt it.Here's a link to a JS Fiddle that works:https://jsfiddle.net/davevsdave/atwpbmr5/3/This same code in ExtendScript Toolkit or running in Photoshop does not return the correct finalResult var. Here's the code I'm running in extendscript, identical to what is in the above JSFiddle (except $.println instead of console.log and an extra line showing that decrypting the obj works)://JSON from PaneljsonStr = '{"date":"1563662582633","email":"email@email.com","password":"1234324","uniqueID1":"12345","uniqueID2":"asfdsa-asdfsa-adsfas-sadfsdf-asfsaf\n"}';//Encrypt Datavar encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(jsonStr, 'secret_passcode');//Convert OBJ to String so I can save itvar encryptedString  = encrypted.toString();$.writeln('encryptedString is ' + encryptedString);//Decrypt string - DOES NOT WORK IN EXTENDSCRIPTvar

Hi guys, I know FastSpring is a separate partner business, but they've been ignoring my emails for over a week and I can't proceed with publishing my Adobe Exchange paid plugin without the key they have to provide. Does anyone know of typical estimates and delays when waiting for my FastSpring partner account request to be approved? I just need some guidance here to be sure I'm doing things in a right way. Thanks!
