On the 10th I installed CS6 and found Adobe did not fix the Bugs I reported in CS5. Today I started testing CS6. I started with my Photoshop Photo Collage Toolkit which contains 10 scripts. These scripts work in CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5. I have not found one that will run is CS6. Is anyone else having problems running old scripts that process several docouments switching between them. The simplest script in my package is PasteImageRoll.jsx could someone see if it works on their machine. Its something like a Qimage for Photoshop However CS6 seems to loose the corrent document object???

You can download the other scripts in the paclkage here http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PhotoCollageToolkit.zip
The other script fail aslo with what looks like the activedocument object get lost in the process. For example:

More information the lost document object error seems to be in the 32Bit version of Photoshop the 64Bit version has no problem running PasteImageRoll.jsx however I stll can not run some of the other scripts in my Photo Collage Toolkit in Photoshop retrieving the users interpolation preference no longer works produces an internal error. Adobe developement need to do a better job regression testing.
