PhotoshopSDK.h

[rechmbrs]

I was given some code and it is trying to include PhotoshopSDK.h. I have SDKs from CS4 and v6 and can't find it. Is it in one of the other SDKs? I expect there is a PhotoshopSDK.cpp also.

Any recommendations where I might find these files? Or how I can build them?

Thanks,

I did a quick search in two different versions of the SDK, and did not find
a PhotoshopSDK.h. More than likely this was a wrapper file that included
the actual Photoshop files.

Rather than looking for that particular file, I recommend that you try
searching for one of the declared macros or symbols. Lather, rinse, repeat
until you have everything covered.

Just to get you started, a filter plugin might typically include these two
files:
#include "PIDefines.h"
#include "PIFilter.h"

Plus a .h for each of the suites that your plugin uses uses.

Curvemeister,

Thanks for the response.

I was afraid that was the answer I'd receive.

How serious this is depends on whether PhotoshopSDK.h contained significant
source definitions or, as I suspect, it was just a wrapper that included
several of the SDK files.

One of your most important tools is the ability to recursively search a
source tree for a particular symbol definition, then add that .h file and
compile again, etc. The Windows Visual Studio search command makes this
fairly easy to do.

If you're on the Mac, I imagine there is a similar tool. In a pinch the
grep command will get the job done. If you fire up a terminal window, the
following command will do a recursive search:

find . -exec grep -i blah {}\;
(where blah is the symbol you're looking for)

> (where blah is the symbol you're looking for)

grep -Ri blah

I'm always paranoid about using find -exec. One typo and it's time to reload
from backups.

I'm going to stick with VS search as I'm not really familiar with the -exec bit.

Thanks guys.

I turned on pre-compiled headers and put them all in PhotoshopSDK.h. Then I learned how evil pre-compiled headers are and removed it. Just add the PI*.h files you need to your project and build.

Tom,

Thanks.

I plan to start this weekend on adding the PI*.h files one by one so I don't get extraneous references.

I never use precompiled headers.
