Hi!

I'm trying to get a script to execute each time photoshop cs6 is started. I've tried to put it in that folder ( Photoshop-CS6-Scripting-Guide.pdf page 10) C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS6\Adobe Photoshop but it doesn't start ... If I put it in there C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6\Startup Scripts it loads when I start BridgeCS6 but it fails as it's a script done for photoshop. So I try to put it in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop CS6\Startup Scripts but didn't work as I was expecting ;o) .

I don' think it matters but my OS is in french but photoshop is in english.

So where is the proper place ?

cheers

My Startup Scripts folder is empty and, even though I have "import from other applications" ticked off, Photoshop will not import the graphic I'm trying to import from Deep Paint. This works in all other versions of Photoshop. But not CS6? Where is cross-app support script?????

OK, nevermind, problem solved. I opened Bridge while working and tried importing. It works! Then I closed Bridge, tried again, and was able to import. I have no idea what's going on but am just really glad it works. My main reason for upgrading was to use the new tool changes for my Deep Paint textures. Happy day.

Yes Startup Scripts is a Bridge thing. If you open Bridge and use menu Edit>Preferences you will see Startup Scripts in the left pane if highlight that the right pane will contain a check box list of startup scripts you can enable.

Photoshop has a script event manager. Script and action can be start automatically when an event occurs. They will not start if a a started event process has not finished nesting will not happen. So on an event like start application, new document, open document a script or action can be set to run.

I never tried setting one up for start application but Photoshop ships with one named clean listener which could be useful. Find it in:

presete\scripys\Event Scripts Only. And menu>File>Scripts>Scripts Event Manager

Photoshop also has startup script support. In fact there should already be one startup script in that folder for cross-app support of Photoshop.

But I agree with JJMack that an event manager script would be a better way to go if you only want the script to run once when Photoshop opens. A scriptup script stays in memory until the app closes.

We need to do that on a lot of PC ... is there a registry or a pref file that store those event manager so I will need to only modify the registry or pref file?
