That is a mistake that I fixed for CC 2019. The #if in the code was not correct when we dropped 32 bit mac. And now that we dropped 32 bit windows...DOH...we could drop the 064...darn it. Well maybe I just keep it for the .128 release coming soon.

"#target photoshop-120.032" or "#target photoshop-120.064" has nothing to do with the OS (Win/OS X) you're using, but rather whether you use an x86 (32-bit) or an x64 (64-bit) version of Photoshop.

In both cases I am using CC 2018 on mac and pc. They should both be 64 bit.

Yes they are both 64 bit. However if I target the mac side I have to use 120.032. It does not recognize the 120.064.

Target numbers are different than version numbers, JJ. Just to make things more confusing.

I guess that may only aa extendscript toolkit number I only target Photoshop do not use extendscript toolkit myself. CC and CS6 seem the same.  I only use its object viewer F1 not target numbers need for the viewers just the pulldown

Normally that number isn't needed. It's mainly used in the PS startup script on computer boot up, so the correct sub scripts are used.

Yes, is only needed for double clicking the jsx file.

But you don't need the whole number

#target Photoshop-120

is all what you need.

Most of the time, you really don't need the number at all, unless you have multiple versions of PS installed, and your script has to run with only one version. Tom Ruark said that he doesn't even use the target comment.

This is the case I have multiple versions and only want a specific version to open. I think using 120 will work. I am going to try it and confirm that it works.
