Weird Deinterlace module non-start

Hi folks,

 

I seem to have a weird bug that keeps popping up.

 

The 'deinterlace' option in the Filter/Video menu won't run/appear.

 

I've tried moving window/palettes out the way to see if it's opened underneath something but there's no sign of it.

 

I need to deinterlace quite a lot as we work from video screen grabs from time to time.

 

There's probably a way of doing it manually with the transfer modes or something but I'm doing it in GIMP for the time being.

 

Anyone heard of this or, even better, know of a solution?

(version is 26.0.0 - running on 2 year old workstation build with plenty RAM and disk space)

 

Thanks

This could be scripted, if the filter is actually loaded and available under installed plugins.

 

var iddeInterlace = stringIDToTypeID( "deInterlace" );
var desc8 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idinterlaceEliminateType = stringIDToTypeID( "interlaceEliminateType" );
var idinterlaceEliminateType = stringIDToTypeID( "interlaceEliminateType" );
var ideliminateOddFields = stringIDToTypeID("eliminateOddFields"); // "eliminateEvenFields"
desc8.putEnumerated( idinterlaceEliminateType, idinterlaceEliminateType, ideliminateOddFields ); // ideliminateEvenFields
var idinterlaceCreateType = stringIDToTypeID( "interlaceCreateType" );
var idinterlaceCreateType = stringIDToTypeID( "interlaceCreateType" );
var idcreateDroplet = stringIDToTypeID( "createDroplet" ); // "createInterpolation"
desc8.putEnumerated( idinterlaceCreateType, idinterlaceCreateType, idcreateDroplet );
executeAction( iddeInterlace, desc8, DialogModes.NO );

 

Let's see what happens with that, if it works more can be done. 

 

For interactivity, you can change the last line's NO to ALL, which should be the same as running the filter with the GUI:

 

executeAction( iddeInterlace, desc8, DialogModes.ALL );

Perhaps a reset of the Photoshop preferences will fix the issue:
