Prompt limit is 255 characters, otherwise Photoshop crashes! Is there a better way?

Hi Brian,

try using this customized version:

function longPrompt(myText, myCitation) {
    var winRes = "dialog { \
        preferredSize: [250,150], \
        alignChildren: ['fill', 'top'], \
        orientation: 'column', \
        text: 'Confirm', \
        titleText: StaticText {}, \
        citationText: EditText { preferredSize: [200, 100], properties: {multiline: true, scrolling: true } }, \
        buttonsGroup: Group { \
            orientation: 'row', \
            alignChildren: ['center', 'top'], \
            cancelButton: Button { text: 'Cancel' }, \
            confirmButton: Button { text: 'Ok' } \
        } \
    }"
    var w = new Window(winRes);
    w.titleText.graphics.font = "dialog:18-Bold"; 
    w.titleText.text = myText;
    w.citationText.text = myCitation || "Enter your text"
    var result = w.show();
    return (result === 1) ? w.citationText.text : false
}

var textString = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem. Nulla consequat massa quis enim. Donec pede justo, fringilla vel, aliquet nec, vulputate eget, arcu. In enim justo, rhoncus ut, imperdiet a, venenatis vitae, justo. Nullam dictum felis eu pede mollis pretium. Integer tincidunt. Cras dapibus. Vivamus."

var result = longPrompt("Enter citation", textString);
$.writeln(result);

Hope this helps.
