Check if Web Access library is loaded.

Hi All,

We have released a new version of Adobe Bridge (CC 2018) on 18 Oct 2017. The new version build number is 8.0.0.262. This version is available to install via Adobe Creative Cloud application.

This Bridge update contains the fix for WebAccessLib issue, and other new features.

You may need to update the Creative Cloud application and restart your computer to see the updated installer.

Thanks,

Deepak Gupta

This may help.

// Load the webaccess library

    if( webaccesslib == undefined )

    {

        if( Folder.fs == "Windows" ) {

            var pathToLib = Folder.startup.fsName + "/webaccesslib.dll";

        } else {

            var pathToLib = Folder.startup.fsName + "/webaccesslib.bundle";

            // verify that the path is valid

        }

        var libfile = new File( pathToLib );

        var webaccesslib = new ExternalObject("lib:" + pathToLib );

    }

    $.writeln("Loaded webaccess library...");

What are you actually trying to check…? That the external library loaded OK or that the mac is infact connected to the web…? I suppose you could put the loading inside a try/catch… You could perform a get or put to test it… Or you could use the app.system(); method and test connection status…

#target bridge
loadExternalObject();
function loadExternalObject() {
     if ( !ExternalObject.webaccesslib ) {
  
          try {
  
               ExternalObject.webaccesslib = new ExternalObject( 'lib:webaccesslib' );
  
               return true;
               } catch(e) { return false; };
  
     };
};
