Hey

I kinda hope I missed the elepahnt in the room... but how can I reload my plugin without having to restart photoshop...

I cant really... keep restarting PS every 2 mins...

C++ Windows 8li files etc. 

Soon on MAC too, so if any1 can wave in on either system would be great.

Any hints?

Regards

Dariusz

On windows, if it is not a "Persistent" automation plugin or a file format plugin, it should reload. On macintosh nothing reloads and you will need to restart.

    Hey

    Thank you for the info!

    Yeah I had a feeling that it reloaded one time... but I was unsure if it did or not...

     

    My Pipl config is > 

     

    Kind { Actions },
    // EnableInfo { "true" },

     

    I don't see any persistent in it, so I take that should reload? 

    When ever I compile I get error that my dlls did not copy ( I have post build action to copy dlls to plugin folder which is short cut in windows to programfiles/adobe/photoshop/plugins folder)

    Could it be that its the EnableInfo() that force it to be "persistent" ?

     

    Im currently on windows, will fight with Mac next week.

     

    Regards

    As far as I know you can't refresh plugins. You must relaunch Photoshop for it.
