Application window halt..!!?

[DKShetty]

Does anyone know how do I run JavaScript UI so that doesn't halt Application window?

What do you mean by "halt Application window"?

Please check below screenshot for clarification

And here is my question.... If I run JavaScript which has UI will open window for some xyz operation ...........but I want to access Photoshop main window(Application Window) simultaneously. Example: I want to move layer 1 to Group 1 when JavaScript window is open...Is it possible ? if yes...Where I have to improve the code?

Is it possible ?

Not with a ScriptUI dialog.

You could create a html5 panel, though.

As c.pfaffenbichler said, you can't do that with the ScriptUI, in fact, you won't be able to really do anything until the script runs it's course, so as mentioned above, it would be best to make an html5 panel, and break up the script into chunks so that the user can interact with the screen.

BridgeTalk sounds like a viable choice to me.
