State of UXP for Photoshop

I'm just about to delve back into making a plugin for PS and while I have a lot of code and boilerplate for CEP plugins I wouldn't mind looking at UXP if it's in an actual usable state now

 

Last I looked at it was a couple years ago and there was issues with even being able to handle saving out images to directories without getting permission beforehand/each time - has this actually been solved now or do I need to stick with CEP...

For context, this would be yet another texture exporter for studio use - as we need to export textures and also create other files for our own internal uses.

I speak from personal experience. In two years some progress has been made, but now it seems to have stopped. I don't know whether to advise you to continue with cep, also because it is not known when adobe will stop supporting cep. If you are someone who sells plugins my thought is to migrate to uxp. Now I don't know what nature your plugin will be, if you have a video I'll take a look and I can help you in your decision.

    Not selling things,  haha been down that road. This is purely for in studio texture export stuff. 

    When I last looked it wasn't possible or wasn't easy to setup a plugin to save images out to any folder without users allowing it or selecting it which is exactly what I don't want users to have to do haha.

    What you are looking for can be done with uxp, only you will have to commit to do it. There is not much info on the net. However you can proceed with a token, You could do it this way, You create a button that selects the folder where to save the textures, and a button to save them. You can also add edittex options like: Quality Size Dpi.
