IllustratorGc.jsx script error while launching Illustrator 25.3

[sj__]

Updated this morning to Illustrator 25.3 - as soon as the update was done this scripting error began appearing (every 30 seconds). .. Personally went back to 25.2.3 which has solved this issue.

There is no need for a code editor. Just any software that can save plain text files.

Hi all,

We hope the issue is resolved by now. If not, please update the logitech driver to latest version (9.40.75) and share your observations with us.

Regards,

Not really for me.

I have a Mac mini M1 and now after updating Illustrator and Logitecth Option I have this error.

I have updated it twice and reinstalled Illustrator, and nothing has changed.

I tried writing the jsx-file, but I get an 'Error 8: Syntax error'. I didn't really expect that I would be able to write a workaround like this, and that suspicion was confirmed.

The situation seems hopeless. Is my only option to just uninstall the Logitech software and accept that I cannot use it?

I am also having this issue.  In regards to the two suggested solutions:

1. They say to install Logitech v. 9.40.86, but the link above goes to v. 9.40.75 (and is also the latest version when doing a "check for updates" inside the app).  So that's a dead end.

2.  I want to try the JSX file solution, but the instructions don't say how to create one.  I used TextEdit and copied the above script, saved the file as .rtf and then changed the file extension to .jsx, but got the "Error 8: Syntax error" described above.  What program do you use to create a JSX file?  Alternatively, can someone at Adobe just post the file for us all rather than making each user create their own?

Instead of letting TextEdit save the file as an .rtf, force it to save the file as a plain text file (.txt) and then change the extension to .jsx. It should be able to run then.

Thanks Larry!   That worked.  Though, for anyone else trying this, it isn't as intuitive as just "save as .txt" from TextEdit.  In TextEdit, you click on the menu that says "Format" and then select "Make plain text" and then you can save it as a .txt file and rename it to .jsx.  And the fix does seem to work.  Been running Illustrator a few minutes without the error message.

Hi I.M.Tired, does it matter how the file is named?

Somehow none of the explantions is really intuitive. Can you post a screenshot with visible filename and textfield? Would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[Doug A Roberts]

It doesn't matter how the file is named, as you select and run it. As long as it is a plain text file with the extension .jsx

[kirilt21667373]

Thanks for the reply. I tried something different while waiting and had no error message since.

1. name the rtf file IllustratorGc.rtf 

2. copy & paste the text: app.preferences.setBooleanPreference("ShowExternalJSXWarning", false);

3. save & rename the file as IllustratorGc.jsx

4. search for all files IllustratorGc.jsx on your Mac  > found in two different Logitec folders

5. overwrite with new IllustratorGc.jsx

6. enjoy no error messag

Works fine for me & I hope it hepls others.

I'm pretty sure IllustratorGc.jsx is something included in Logitech Options that it needs to run.

The script in this topic is just to supress the warning dialog, not to replace the Logitech script itself -- though perhaps by deleting the script, you have solved the problem in a manner of speaking.

Don't save an RTF file. Save as plain text. There are many posts above emphasising this.

This is still not working. We have users that are still having this issue with the prompting...

What AI version are they using?
