Questions

FYI ... I posted this in the InDesign forum and it was suggested that I post here.I just upgraded to CC 2019 and I have an extension that I inherited and was working fine until I upgraded to CC 2019.  Now when I open the extension Window > Extensions > My Extension the window pops up, but nothing shows in it like it used to.I deleted the files from the AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEP\extensions folder and re-published them, but it still does the same thing.I tried accessing the debugging console at http://localhost:8090 (worked in CC 2018) and it just fails.I don't know where to start troubleshooting, but any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,I am trying to open an extension in Ai 2018 (22.1), but the extensions panel is missing. The extension panel and my extensions shows up in Ai 2017 (22.1).Any idea how to make the extensions panel show?Screenshots below - my extension TACTIC Connect shows in 22.1, but no extensions panel is 22.1.Thanks!

Hey everyone, I am developing my first CEP extension panel for Photoshop. I would like a way to store arbitrary data with the PSD file so that the extension state matches the file. What is the best way to achieve this? Using document.info? Using xmpMetadata?Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

hi我在使用Adobe XD的过程中，遇到一个问题：在win 10系统（简体中文版）中操作xd（版本：12.0.12.10入门版；简体中文版）后，拷贝到mac air中的xd上继续打开编辑时，提示我的mac版简体中文XD版本低，无法打开新版的xd文件。于是我开始升级mac上的xd，提示已经为最新版本的mac版xd（11.0.22.10入门版）。所以，我的问题是：1、我将如何把在win上编辑的xd文档在mac上用xd打开。2、是否是版本不一致导致不同操作系统间文档的打不开。3、我也尝试在adobe官网上查找有关mac版的12.0.12.10入门版xd，一直都没有找到。如果有，能否提供一下下载方法或者下载链接？4、同时也尝试寻找win版的11.0.22.10入门版xd，也是未能找到。如果有，能否提供一下下载方法或者下载链接？以上问题，希望能够得到答复！谢谢！补充：所有操作系统及相关软件均为简体中文版。

I'm using the next code:function onLoaded() {    var csInterface = new CSInterface();        csInterface.addEventListener("documentAfterActivate", onDocActivatedChanged);  }function onDocActivatedChanged(event) {          new CSInterface().evalScript("$il._ext.callFunction()");}I have two questions:- What other events can I use in illustrator?- How can I use the event return var in the function onDocActivatedChanged?Best Regards,  vgcouso

Am I missing something?What is *supposed* to happen when I click Install on a plugin in Adobe Exchange? It says "Installed" and now offers the "Uninstall" button.What I expect to see: either the plugin to be ready installed in Lightroom Classic *or* shown in a list in Plugin Manager.What appears to happen: a zip file is dumped in my Download folder by the Adobe CC Desktop app.Is there really no automation between "Installing" a plugin from Exchange? The only action is to get CC Desktop to just download the zip file? Or is something not working on my system whereby the downloaded zip files are supposed to be unpacked and installed into Lightroom Classic?

Hi,I created a custom extension panel that I installed in the following directory, for instance myPanel is the extension folder:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\myPanelWhen I open Photoshop, the extension does show up in the Window->Extensions menu and the panel works well.For installing custom scripts that I developed, I created a shortcut in the Photoshop Scripts directory that basically points to a specific folder in which I put those scripts, for instance custom_scripts is the shortcut:C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\Presets\Scripts\custom_scriptsWhen opening Photoshop, the application will get all the scripts that are linked to the shortcut. I use the same method for reading custom actions, brushes, file formats and plug-ins, and this works fine.As such, I was thinking to install my custom extensions the same way, but the panel I created is no longer listed in the Window->Extensions menu when being linked to a shortcut, for instance custom_ex

I've been tasked with creating a script that can call an API through https from inside InDesign CC.So I installed an extension called ExtendExtendScript / GetURL (https://coppieters.nz/?p=220​) that enables https-calls.The problem is that it only supports GET, not POST, which the API requires. So I thought I'd alter the extension to add that functionality myself.So I started editing the .js and .jsx files in the installation dir (C:\Users\USER_XXX\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEP\extensions\com.rorohiko.extendextendscript\node_modules\GetURL). But as soon as I do, it stops working. Even just adding "var a = 1;" will cause it to stop working.Is there some form of validation or version handling that makes InDesign refuse to load an extension if it has been altered?In that case, do you have any information about how to cirumvent that protection so I can extend an existing extension?

I recently got a factory reset 2009 iMac fully updated and running smoothly with Photoshop CC 2017. I am trying to download literally any add-on at this point; I started with the Animator's Toolbar, but after not getting anywhere with that install, I have started to attempt just any ol' extension in hopes to get something to show up. Here's my walkthrough process:I download and install the add-on from the exchange (it says acquired), but I get absolutely no response with my Creative Cloud Desktop app. No fail message, no errors, no updates, no notifications, just nothing. When I open photoshop the add-on is no where to be found.I have tried uninstalling the application, desktop app, and add-ons over and over and over. I've signed out of everything and back in. - My file sync in the desktop app is turned on- Nothing is paused or queued - Internet is stable- No firewalls or ungranted permissions- Photoshop is closed at the time of attempted installsI just want a direction that isn't "uni

If you're building extensions, plugins, or add-ons for Creative Cloud apps, please take our survey about CEP 9.Did you know CEP 9 is available now in prereleases?We need more extension developers to try it out and tell us about the experience.Thanks everyone!

Hi,I've got error messages on an extension who works well on InDesign CC2018.Here is user's CEP8-IDSN.log file :2018-09-21 09:34:06:637 : INFO  PlugPlug version : 8.0.0.552018-09-21 09:34:06:642 : INFO  LogLevel : 12018-09-21 09:34:06:649 : ERROR Headlights service fails to log extension data.2018-09-21 09:34:07:754 : ERROR getCurrentImsUserId: Unknown Exception occured2018-09-21 10:20:03:044 : ERROR SetIsLoaded: Failed to dispose scripting engine <my_extension.myPanel_Engine_Id>.

Hi,I'm referring to these ones:com.adobe.PhotoshopWorkspaceSetcom.adobe.PhotoshopWorkspaceGetcom.adobe.PhotoshopWorkspaceAwarecom.adobe.PhotoshopWorkspaceDatacom.adobe.PhotoshopWorkspaceRequestcom.adobe.PhotoshopQueryDockingStateHas someone been able to find a way to use them?I've naively tried: var csInterface = new CSInterface(); var event = new CSEvent(); event.type = "com.adobe.PhotoshopWorkspaceSet"; event.scope = "APPLICATION"; event.appId = csInterface.getApplicationID(); // "PHXS" event.extensionId = csInterface.getExtensionID() csInterface.dispatchEvent(event); var PhotoshopCallback = function(evt) {     console.log("Fired!", evt); } csInterface.addEventListener("com.adobe.PhotoshopWorkspaceSet", PhotoshopCallback); but I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to only dispatch the Event in order to make something happen (like the com.adobe.PhotoshopLoseFocus, returning focus from the panel back to PS), or the addEventListener is needed too. Hints? 😉Thanks,Davi

Hi there,Open Illustrator, create a path with two points and run the jsx-script:function test() {  for(var i=0, x; i<20000; i++)    x = app.activeDocument.pathItems[0].pathPoints[0].anchor[0];}test();alert($.summary());You will get "... PathPoint: 20000 ..." and lose 100Mb of memory just for reading of data. The memory will be freed when the jsx-script will be stopped.When I try to call the function from HTML Extension the memory is never freed. PathPoint: 20000, 40000, 60000 and so on.Do you have any suggestions how to solve the problem?Thanks

We are working on building a Premiere extension using Kendo UI (a JavaScript front-end framework). So far, everything is working except elements that should be drag/droppable as implemented here: Demo for Drag & Drop Component in Kendo UI jQuery frameworkThese drag/drop items work fine when loaded in a browser, but attempting to drag from within Premiere does nothing.If anyone has any insight about why this might be happening or workarounds it would be much appreciated!Moved from Premiere Pro SDK to Extensions / Add-ons Development by Mod

Hello everybody.I'm actually working on an opensource Toolbox for building Adobe CC extensions with CEP. I'd really like to discuss it and have feedbacks from the community but I don't really know where to start Here is the project:https://github.com/bigarobas/plugincc/And here is a more in depth article about the main concepts:https://github.com/bigarobas/plugincc/wiki/Mixed-context-in-Adobe-CC-extensions-with-CEPIs this a good place for this kind of discussion ?Thanks.

I've seen there are demos about how to D&D from within the extension and from extension to host app, but not about how to do it from the host app. Is it possible to do? I'm using ondragover, ondragend and ondrop on the body and it only fires ondragover when I'm dragging something from the host. It is not even working with onmouseup.Using CEP8 with Illustrator.

Hi,I followed the "Getting Started with CEP Extensions" guide and was able to set up a custom panel with buttons that are linked to a jsx file with click event callbacks.Everything works fine so far but I had to import some functions from a lib directory I installed in the extension folder structure with the following command and proper location - #include "../lib/file.jsx"- and this is where the problem comes.Basically, when I include a file this way, the extension is broken as the function from the file in the lib directory doesn't seem to be called, also if I remove the include command, nothing happens and I'm not getting an error about the missing called function that doesn't exist in the main jsx file.As such, I'm a bit confused and I was wondering if anyone has already experimented that issue?Thanks,Jeremy

Someone could be kind to create a small panel with only one slider that changes opacity to the level with the name test.Thanks to those who help me

Hi, i'm following this README => GitHub - Adobe-CEP/Getting-Started-guides: Getting Started guides and samples for CEP extensions And i'm stuck in the very early stages cause i don't see my Extension at all on InDesign ( i do changed the host in my manifest.xml file, adding this => <Host Name="IDSN" Version="[10.0,10.9,13.1]" />in the <HostList>I'm working on windows, and i did added the register key => PlayerDebugMode = 1  in HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Adobe / CSXS.5 ( and CSXS.4 and CSXS.8,... ), and my IndesignVersion is the 13.1 x64,...I don't even know where i should start looking to troubleshoot my problem, i'm just trying to follow the first tutorial >___<"I'm lost here, if anyone could give me any hints, i would be really grateful !Thanks o/PS : it might be the wrong place to ask, i wasn't really sure, if so, please excuse me and tell me so, i'll go ask to the right place !

I have a question about CEP signing.Now I have a certificate cantocode.jks, I conversion the .jks to .p12 and successfully.and I packaged the code by .p12. but it errors:I don't understand how it happens. Does anyone know it and please help me, thanks very much.

Hello,I'm building a very simple panel with literally one button that activates some action and i would like to add a tooltip, so when user hovers above that button he would be able to read what the button does. Similar as to how it is with some buttons in photoshop (see picture).Unfortunately I don't know how to go about it. I tried adding 'title' attribute to the button, and it obviously works in browser, but fails in PS itself.Would appreciate any help! Thank you.

Hello! While I can see all console logs in the debugger (Chrome), the log file just contains this data (Illustrator on Windows). CEPHtmlEngine8-ILST-22.1.0-com.ciclosoftware.myextension.log[0815/104744.558:ERROR:child_thread_impl.cc(762)] Request for unknown Channel-associated interface: ui::mojom::GpuMainOn my Mac it seems fine, I don't understand. It's important to me to be able to analyse this file on my user's computers.Best regards,Stefan

Good day dear audience!Sorry for my bad English. I ask for help in writing a script for the extension panel.There is a script button and a slider:<button class="tool" id="gb_3b"><div class="inst">Start</div></button><b>Middle radius: <span style="font-size: 1.2em" id="gb3rval"></span></b><div id="gblur3rad"></div>Running the script and initializing the slider in JS:$("#gb_3b").button().click(function(a) {    csInterface.evalScript('$._ext.evalFile("' + extensionRoot + 'work/Smart_Frequency_3_Band_GB.jsxbin")')});$(function() {            $('#gblur3rad').slider({                    min: 0.1,                max: 20,              

It seems this would be a common requirement, but other than this brief mention:CEP-Resources/CEP 8.0 HTML Extension Cookbook.md at master · Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources · GitHubI find no information about if (and how!) to change the cursor in the host application from my CEP extension.Use case: User drags & drops content from my extension into InDesign layout.This triggers a long running action (e.g. a download of said content)I would like to have the UI indicate that this could time a while (e.g. hour glass cursor or similar).Otherwise, the impression is that the action did not work (it did, but it takes a moment!)Thanks for any advice.
