I am trying to create a custom panel button when clicked that runs a custom script. I used Adobe Configurator 4 but the button disappears in the panel when I ran it. I use Photoshop CS5 and Configurator 4 is designed for CS 6 and beyond. So I am gussing that may be the problem.
And I can't find Configurator 2 anymore anywhere online. So, I was wondering whether there is a way to script panel? Or is there other way I can create the custom panel button?
yes, I do the same thing that you are looking for. I use a program called PowerPro, and it allows you to place custom buttons all over your desktop, and when pressed, those buttons do whatever you want them to do (run a program, send a keystroke, run a script, etc.) It really is a fantastic program, and is free. And it works excellent with Photoshop. Here's the website:
You can use either the Photoshop Panel SDK with Flash Builder or the CS-SDK with Extension Builder to create custom panels for CS5. But those are version specific like Configyrator and I think you will have the same problem finding the versions that work with CS5 now.
if you just need a button that triggers a script, panels are oversized for the job in my opinion.
Why don't you just record an action that File > Scripts > Browse... the script?
You can play the action then, or set the Action Palette to show them as buttons (Button Mode in the flyout menu when you click the icon in the top-right corner of the palette), which is handy.
