Any way to force Photoshop to launch and keep visible a window of type "palette"?

Hi Gustavo,

the following, which is from "PS Palette working example" in the first link, works to me (for instance I can create a New Document while the palette shows) in Mac: CS4, CS5.x and CS6 - but not CC (as expected):

var isDone, s2t, waitForRedraw, win, windowResource;
// Shortcut function
s2t = function(stringID) {
  return app.stringIDToTypeID(stringID);
};
waitForRedraw = function() {
  var d;
  d = new ActionDescriptor();
  d.putEnumerated(s2t('state'), s2t('state'), s2t('redrawComplete'));
  return executeAction(s2t('wait'), d, DialogModes.NO);
};
//sentinel variable
isDone = false;
windowResource = "palette {  \    orientation: 'column', \    alignChildren: ['fill', 'top'],  \    preferredSize:[300, 130], \    text: 'ScriptUI Window - palette',  \    margins:15, \    \    sliderPanel: Panel { \        orientation: 'row', \        alignChildren: 'right', \        margins:15, \        text: ' PANEL ', \        st: StaticText { text: 'Value:' }, \        sl: Slider { minvalue: 1, maxvalue: 100, value: 30, size:[220,20] }, \        te: EditText { text: '30', characters: 5, justify: 'left'} \        } \    \    bottomGroup: Group{ \        cd: Checkbox { text:'Checkbox value', value: true }, \        cancelButton: Button { text: 'Cancel', properties:{name:'cancel'}, size: [120,24], alignment:['right', 'center'] }, \        applyButton: Button { text: 'Apply', properties:{name:'ok'}, size: [120,24], alignment:['right', 'center'] }, \    }\}";
win = new Window(windowResource);
// Button listeners
win.bottomGroup.cancelButton.onClick = function() {
  return isDone = true;
};
win.bottomGroup.applyButton.onClick = function() {
  return isDone = true;
};
// don't forget this one!
win.onClose = function() {
  return isDone = true;
};
win.show();
while (isDone === false) {
  app.refresh(); // or, alternatively, waitForRedraw();
}

Best,

Davide
