Hi -- I have a sample panel extension and it's running in Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 (22.1v) and I try to resize/extend the panel extension (dragging the panel extension) but it is not extending in Mac OS X 10.13. Any suggestions?My panel extension geometry is below. <Geometry>     <Size>        <Height>400</Height>        <Width>600</Width>   </Size>   <MaxSize>        <Height>1920</Height>        <Width>1920</Width>   </MaxSize>   <MinSize>        <Height>50</Height>        <Width>50</Width>   </MinSize> </Geometry>

Hello,I am trying to add a dialog windows but I keep getting: var _dlg = app.dialogs.add({ name: "single line" });this is the code and I tried several approaches with code from the internet in both InDesign and Illustrator.

I am trying to enable persisted state in the latest version of photoshop with the following code: var csInterface = new CSInterface();var event = new CSEvent();event.type = "com.adobe.PhotoshopPersistent";event.scope = "APPLICATION";event.appId = csInterface.getApplicationID();event.extensionId = csInterface.getExtensionID();   csInterface.dispatchEvent(event);either I don't know what to expect from this code or it doesn't work. I try to keep the state of an input field that gets populated from jsx, but no state whatsoever gets to be persisted. I am using VueJs and Vuex to build my app.

ExtendScript does not update its internal Scripting Dictionary files (which provide type information, etc. to the Object Model Viewer) except when a new Major version is encountered.This is an issue because new APIs are (frequently) added in Minor and (occasionally) Patch releases. (I'm using in Semver parlance to refer to Major.Minor.Patch...)The only workaround I know of is to locate the Scripting Dictionaries (~/Library/Preferences/ExtendScript Toolkit/4.0/ on macOS) and delete the major version for which you are attempting to get an updated Scripting Dictionary.

Is there any tool to debug .jsfl files in which you can set breakpoints, inspect variables, etc ..., something similar to the Extendscript Toolkit or the vscode debugger?. I come from extendscript and I'm new to jsfl, so what I'm doing is launching my jsfl script through a button on a CEP extension. The only way I have found to know what is happening is an.trace, but it is a pain debug like that. I've searched the internet but I could not find anything about properly debug on Animate.

Hi all,In 2014, I developed a set of InDesign Extensions for InDesign CC 2014, using Extension Builder 3 in Eclipse. This was always problematic because I know nothing about Eclipse (I'm a Microsoft kind of guy - VisualStudio, c#, AzureDevOps/TFS for source control etc.); but it worked. The Extension Builder 3 environment did have the clear advantage that at the press of a button you had a working Extension prototype you could start expanding on.We have not changed many features since then and only added a few minor Extensions to our offering. I just simply kept on changing the InDesign Version and CSXS versions in the manifest.xml, do an Eclipse "Clean/Build", praying, and I was good to go. This means of course that I am not benefitting from any new features in later releases of CSXS/CEP, etc. Also, I am totally ignorant of any improvements/changes in the CEP Extensions world since 2014...There was always a danger in this: if something happened to my laptop. Since there's no dependabl

In the browser, when you drag&drop a file onto an area , you get some info about the file, but not the filepath, it just returns 'undefined'. I've tried this in my Premiere Pro panel, and here it DOES result in returning the correct filepath.I was/am planning on using this to drag&drop files onto my panel, then upload them, but is this OK to do? Is this something that may be changed or deprecated in future releases? Is there simply a better way to do this?

Hi,   Using the Visual Studio Code ExtendScript Debugger plugin, I'm not able to run a script which targets Photoshop. An error is thrown. Scripts targeting Indesign work well. I'm targeting Photoshop 2019, which is installed on my machine.       Thanks   Tim

Noob question: is there a step-by-step getting started guide for developing an extension somewhere?I use a DAM from http://daminion.net that has a web interface and want to create a CC panel that imports digital assets to CC apps.

Hi everyone, this is Erin Finnegan, Community Engineer on the CC Developer Ecosystem team.Many ExtendScript developers are reporting the following error when running ESTK:Cannot execute script in target engine 'main'!(#1116) Can't start debug session.We're aware of this problem and are investigating it now, including the possibility that an expired certificate is the culprit.For now, the temporary workaround is setting your system clock back to 11/19/2018 or before.We’ll update you as we make progress on a fix or a workaround.

Hi to all!I packaged a ZXP extension with ZXPSignCmd (self-signed certificate).All works well on macOS, when I install the extension with zxpInstaller.But when I try to install on Windows 10 I get this message:After lots of digging, I found that the same signature works great when I package a different extension (one of the Adobe samples on GitHub), just throws this error with my extension - on Win 10.Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am working on an extension and I've hit a dead end. Looks like when the panel's icon is clicked, a window.loaded event type is fired. But what type of event is fired when you collapse the panel back into icon form ?I want to link serialization to the window.unload or window.close event , but nothing of the like seems to be working, which means that such a event is not fired.Any ideeas ?

Scenario:In Photoshop.jsx, I place all my code for which I want photoshop to performFor example:I have a function that performs the zoom in and zoom out commandsZoom In:function zoomin(){        var d = new ActionDescriptor();        var r = new ActionReference();        r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("menuItemClass"), stringIDToTypeID("menuItemType"), stringIDToTypeID("zoomIn"));        d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);        executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("select"), d, DialogModes.NO);}Zoom Out:function zoomout(){    var d = new ActionDescriptor();    var r = new ActionReference();    r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("menuItemClass"), stringIDToTypeID("menuItemType"), stringIDToTypeID("zoomOut"));    d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null")

Hey Everyone,Hoping someone can help.So I have a button, the button is coloured based on an array. When that button is pushed my layer has a fill added with that colour.Now, if I launch a script UI from the CEP panel. My script UI has the button etc.But I want my buttons to be in the CEP panel instead of loads of Script UI's being opened. So I've built it into the panel instead.Sometimes it works, sometimes it breaks and tells me I have errors, even though I've not changed anything. So, can someone suggest a better way to write the following so it doesn't bug all the time.I've included the other bits, just incase you thought I might be missing them or there is something you might spot. Because I'm not fluent in javascript, I've had to do some bits in JQuery. This was all working yesterday, but now it's flagging back errors.var csInterface = new CSInterface;function hexToColor(theHex){    theHex = parseInt(theHex,16);    var r = theHex >> 16; &nb

Hi,With this post, I would to report a bug.When trying to stop the debug mode, it takes between 1-3 seconds after you press the stop button, to stop the debug process.This is very frustrating. Could you please fix this?Thank youTim

Hi All,Can someone point me to resources on how to start developing Generator plugins for Photoshop. I am not able to get any good results in Google search.-Manan

Hi All,I am not experienced with web development and nodejs so excuse me if this sounds very basic. I looked at the article that mentions that we can create a nodejs server in a panel. I was wondering in what practical use cases would this be helpful. I know and have used node packages in my extensions, what advantages would creating a node server give? Also can a node server app access the native application api's as well as we do using csinterface, i suppose not.Thanks,-Manan

I'm writing a panel where it's possible to download files/clips/media from a service, and I want to have the option of downloading those files directly into your Premiere project's project panel or timeline.Do you need to specify where the files need to be downloaded to be placed in Premiere Pro, or can they be placed directly in your project folder?Are there any handy guides or examples that can help me? This post moved from Premiere Pro SDK to Extensions / Add-ons Development. [Moderator]

We have extensions which work when we load them using our DMG; in order to create an Exchange listing we created a zxp for one of the extensions. When I create my listing and download the zxp during "preview" nothing happens; does preview actually install the extension or does the listing require publication first? If so how do I test my zxp since there is no longer a private option?

Downloaded Configurator 4  from labs, tried to install, but get a message that "iinstaller failed to initialize".  Mac Os Sierra 10.12.3. MacBook Pro.Photoshop CC ver. 2017.0.1 (x64)I have Adobe Flash Player, Java Runtime Environment  and Adobe Application Manager , using it fine with related applications, so that shouldnot be an issue. There is no log-file in library/logs/adobe/installers which included text "adobe configurator".And i can't install Adobe Support Advisor, because Extension Manager does not work . Any ideas?
