target specific version of psd from bridge talk.

[bagonterman]

I am trying this but its not working.

var bt = new BridgeTalk;
 bt.target = "photoshop-12.0";
 var crud="try{doAction('2012 Design BW','Design' );}catch(e){}";
 bt.body =crud;
 bt.send();

photoshop works but when I try and version it. Nothing happens.

Ok. Found it already. This works.

bt.target = "photoshop","13";

Yes you can target which every versions of the apps are installed as you have found… What I would add is you have wrapped your script in an unhandled try/catch… I would prefer to NOT do this and handle the error with the bridgetalk message onError()

[bagonterman]

Would you wrap it in a function?

I am also now wondering if this really works. I may have made a mistake and run this from the CS6 STK. Because when I run this now it keeps opening Photoshop CS5 when it should target 6. ??

var bt = new BridgeTalk;
bt.target = "photoshop","13";
var crud="try{doAction('2012 Design BW','Design' );}catch(e){}";
 bt.body =crud;
 bt.send();

This worked. I am not sure the variable that has changed. But now its not working? It keeps opening Photoshop CS5. Ugg.

So I open a file and its in CS6 and then it trys to run this action in 5.

I am also no longer getting a result of true. It is now false.

var bt = new BridgeTalk;
bt.target = "photoshop-60.032";
var crud=try{doAction('2012 Design BW','Design' );}catch(e){};
 bt.body =crud;
 bt.send();

Ok so I thought it worked before. I think it works now. I will have to keep my fingers crossed. I changed the target to photoshop-60.032
