Question

getCustomOptions, putCustomOptions

I have a Photoshop CS5 panel that I want to have the functionality to save/load preset values.

I used a Local Shared Object in Photoshop CS4. Worked fine. WOuld not work with Photoshop CS5. Compiles but does not work. So, I rewrote the code to use getCustomOptions and putCustomOptions. Again, compiles without a warning or error, but the code does nothing.

It acts like the functions are unimplemented code stubs.

Does anyone have a suggestion for saving/loading runtime values with Photoshop CS5.

I'm using Flex4 Standard. Code samples follow.

Thanks,

Mitch

For panels you should use the CSXSInterface to store and retrieve settings.

import com.adobe.csxs.core.CSXSInterface;

import com.adobe.csxs.events.*;

import com.adobe.csxs.types.*;

....

csxs = CSXSInterface.getInstance();

.....

// Getting

result = csxs.retrievePreference("rbUseLogoFile");

if (SyncRequestResult.COMPLETE == result.status && result.data) {

rbUseLogoFile.selected = result.data.toString() == "true";

}

// Storing

csxs.storePreference("rbUseLogoFile", rbUseLogoFile.selected.toString());

Thanks, Tom. I was hoping very much to hear from you about this. I'll make the changes and give this a try!

You're the best!
