Mac CS5 Automation plug-in menu strangeness

[mbarron_123]

Hi,

  I've got an automation plug-in that puts up a Cocoa-based dialog when selected from the File->Automate menu. The same code works fine in Mac Photoshop CS4, but on Mac CS5 my plug-in menu item will become disabled after my dialog is shown. If you do some action that brings up an entirely unrelated dialog then my menu item will become enabled again.

  I was able to duplicate the behavior using the Listener plug-in in the SDK and adding some simple code to bring up an NSAlert. My plug-in has a Persistent {} item in its PiPL and no EnableInfo item, the same as the Listener plug-in, so it should be enabled all the time. Has anybody seen this, or perhaps know if there's a workaround?

Thanks,

  Mike

It rings the bell - I think we saw something to this effect a while ago, but I cannot recall what we did to make it go away - there were way too many CS5 specific issues we had to deal with lately. Does the automation throw an exception into PS or return a failure code? Also posting your modified listener may help...
