      I don't use nor pay much attention to Extensions myself, so I probably shouldn't even post, but...

      Don't I recall Flash-based Extensions are deprecated?  Only HTML5-based extensions will work?

      Please don't quote me on this; I'm only throwing it out so you might have different keywords to use for your internet searches...

      That's what I remember as well.

      So who has got what working?  I eventually managed to get CC 2014 to appear in the Manage Extensions list after reinstalling the Extension manager, and you can see several Extensions are listed.  Dmonzon tools is there twice because I installed v2 to see if it would work with 2014.  It doesn't.  In fact the only one that appears in 2014 > Window > Extensions is Kuler.

      Does anyone have anything else working?

      Hi Dperuho,

      Hmm... Have you tried installing any of the Addons via Help > Addons?

      What about restarting the Creative Cloud Desktop Application?

      Another thought would be to reset preferences (last resort): blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issues.html#Preferences

      You should reinstall Extension Manager

        Im very disappointed to see that none of my extensions works with Photoshop cc 2014. ANd from what I understand the extensions needs to be reprogrammed to work. I guess there´s a good reason for this, but its very hard now to choose between using cc 2014 new features or stay with the old since there´s a lot of useful extension that is useful for working. bummer!

          It Adobe ever version of Photoshop seem to need its own version of the Extension manager and new Configurator. I stopped even considering building configuratior panels. Just install scripts the normal way. The way you do not need to create an installer every time  Adobe updates Photoshop version....
