Open JPG/PNG image from html5 extension

Hello Everyone,

Is there any way to open the JPG/PNG image from cc build.

I found a solution and implemented it in extension

app.open(File(filePath));

but it opens the file in photoshop and I want to get it open in OS image viewer app like: "Preview" for mac and "Image viewer" for Windows

You would need to execute a system command not use a photoshop command.

app.system('the correct Mac or the correct windows command and pass the filePath');

for example this would stop the scriptlistener writting the javascript log file on windows

app.system('Attrib +R "%USERPROFILE%\\Desktop\\ScriptingListenerJS.log" ');

You can try (in the JSX) to create a file instance and then execute it, like:

var f = new File('~/Desktop/flower.jpg')
if (f.exists) { f.execute() }

This should trigger the default app that is set for each OS (Preview on Mac, and Image viewer on Windows), provided that the user hasn't changed his OS preferences.

Hope this helps!

That can be unpredictable it could be Photoshop be the same as app.open(File(filePath));
