Hi! I have two files with JSX scripts, but instead of choosing file manually, I want Plugin/panel with two clickable buttons which activate each script. Its possible? I try to use chatgpt to make it but no success.

As another option: You can call a script from within an action, and there's panels out there with buttons that you can connect to an action.

@Jakub25857702e4sw – You are going to need to know and understand the difference between an ExtendScript/JavaScript ScriptUI "palette (or window)" vs a "dialog" – vs. a CEP or UXP panel.

are you talking about dialogs? Palette leave it alone put the scripts on the post so we can help you why call external scripts and not put them inside the whole script dialog?

but the panel is uxp or cep? if it's uxp you can't, because adobe has restricted this. If it's a cep panel can you load the panel with the 2 jsx's as I have some time to see where the problem is.
