The extension could not be loaded because it was not properly signed

[Skovi]

Hey,

I've been using a script for photoshop which was created by one of my colleagues, he left the company. I need to edit the scrip a little bit, but whenever i save the JSX file and try to open the extension within photoshop I get the error message that is in the title. I tried it with not modifying anything in the scrip just resaving it, and the error message pops up. If i replace the file with the old JSX which was made by my colleague, then it works again. Seems like the error message is tide to any edition to any files. He made the script in extendscrip tool kit, I'm using the same software for editing and the issue persists. Within the scrip folder there's a folder name META-INF containing signatures.xml, could it be that there's some sort of protection from editing built in within the script? Anyone had the same problem or any ideas how to solve it, please don't hesitate! Thanks a lot!

When developing and debugging  you need to change some registry key in order for the extension to work. And if you want to send it to others after you are ok with it you just need to sign it. You can find all of it in the documentation on the Development and Debugging chapter

All resolved, I just had to turn debug mode on from terminal and photoshop is not checking for signatures anymore. Thanks a lot Cbuliarca, you saved me hours of work
