Not working Apple Silicon ScriptListener Mac M1 PS 2024

[GregCont]

Hey Guys,

I've been testing this wonderful plugin ScriptListener on Windows and it's working fine but on my Mac M1 (Sonoma) I've used it before then I trashed the script log files and when I tried to relaunch the plugin didn't work. Just works when I set to Rosetta. Photoshop works slower when I check to launch with Rosetta, \Any help with this?

That's how it is.

As Adobe have decided that.UXP is the future and have a native batchPlay converter built in, I doubt that they will ever update the old plugin.

So when you're not scripting, don't use Rosetta if you're after better performance.

Thanks man, What you think about UXP? do you think we can achieve more with it? I'm trying to make an script to change several shape to an specific color, a batch of files so I want to batch edit the colors for example. a shirt is white and blue max three colors and I wanna bulk color edit in many PSDs, Any forum?

Thanks man, What you think about UXP?

I think that it shows a great deal of promise/potential.

do you think we can achieve more with it?

At the moment, no, Adobe has not made it easy for existing scripters or new scripters to transition and learn the new toolset. Application scripting is simpler than plugin development, but none of this is easy. IMHO it requires dedicated UXP scripting evangelists for each program that will provide working code examples in both DOM and batchPlay and much better documentation and training resources than what we have at the moment. I take for granted the long history of ExtendScript development and the knowledge and experience of Adobe staff and end-users contributing to the legacy scripting community.

Hell no, this is hard ASF, I'm trying to get courses about scripting in a easy way, Watching automations with Python but I'm not a Programmer, however, I'm a Polymath lol. So I'm always looking for productivity assets/sources to make tones of boring daily steps automatic actions. But I'm liking Scripting things.

The equivalent of ScriptListener in UXP-land is Alchemist by Jaroslav Bereza.

Videos here, here, and here.

I’m not sure if I have asked you before, is there any difference between the BatchPlay code generated by Alchemist vs. the native Photoshop preferences/settings for Plugins/Options/Enable Developer Mode and then using an action or action step to "copy as JavaScript"?

Sorry, I was logged with my other consultant account 😅

I believe Jarda is massaging a bit the batchplay code—I believe he wanted to add stuff like automatic token generation for file manipulations, etc. I haven't checked whether it's already available. For sure the code that is output natively by Photoshop is the base.
