Image Processor Pro - not showing in Bridge / Error / Ventura / "Photoshop is undefined"

Dear all,

I was a happy man for years with Dr Brown´s Services 2.3.1 running smooth - until it suddenly stopped working yesterday with the "ReferenceError: Photoshop is undefined" window popping up.

 

MBP 16" M1 Ultra / Ventura 13.5.2 / PS 24.7.0 / Bridge 13.04.744 -

Photoshop runs under Rosetta due to many non-M1-plug-Ins.

 

-I tried to uninstall / install 2.3.1 and 3.2.5 alike via Anastasiy and also tried several manual installs.

-Checked Macintosh HD/Users/UserName/Library/Application Support for the ominous "Image Processor Pro.xml" that seemed to cause trouble with other users. Its deleted.

-"Image Processor Pro.jsx" is correctly installed in the ROOT directory.

-Dr Brown´s Services is enabled in the Bridges settings ( twice - as it shows up two times )

-The Photoshop Beta that was running some for some weeks is now deinstalled.

-Images Processor Pro 3.5.2 accessible via Photoshop > Automate and works.

 

The results of the installations are somewhat mixed: sometimes Dr Brown / Images Processor Pro shows up in Bridge>Tools.. ( but does not work: Photoshop is undefined ) - sometimes there is neither Dr Brown nor Image Processor Pro

 

Somehow I´m running out of ideas about what´s going wrong here - so any helping hand is really appreciated!

Cheers - panicking - Steffen

    Hi Kevin, running PS in Rosetta all the time.

     

    Solution is the sequence of installation. First Bridge - then PS. 

    So in case somebody runs into the same issues: uninstall PS ( hit the "keep" button for your prefs and actions when uninstalling via Creative Cloud ) - then install IPP - then install Photoshop. So PS can register itself in the Bridge.

     

    Yikes - that was a funny afternoon.

    I have not, unfortunately.


    Here's a workaround that I found.

    So far so good. But I'm no expert & your mileage may vary.

     

    1. Locate the exising (original) .jsx file and hide it by changing the extension for example *.hidethis.

    HD>Apps>Ps2024>Presets>Scripts

    2. Find the Image Processor Pro.jsx that you want to use (it's around 327kb). Copy/Paste it into the location of the original in Step 1.

    3. Rename it to Image Processor.jsx - drop the Pro

    4. Copy/Paste it into - HD>Library>App Support>Adobe>Bridge 2024 Extensions

    5. Bridge>Settings> Startup scripts - image processor is un-checked

    6. It runs from bothPs>File>Automate & from Bridge>Tools>Ps where it is called Image Processor but is actually Pro

     

    *One small glitch that is different from how it used to work before I had my debacle is that after you select a group of files and IPP processes them, there a progress bar/window that says for example  'processing 1 or 2 or 3 of 3 files' and this is followed by another little window saying 'initializing'. These don't close automatically but need to be closed manually. LOve to fix this if anyone knows
