Why there is no release configuration on Windows for Listener plugin?

[dheeraj_c]

Hi All,

          I'm using Listener plugin from CS5 SDK. There is only Debug configuration on Windows example project. I created a Release configuration but i get linker errors if Code generation option is set to Multi Threaded and also if I set it to Multi Threaded Debug the project build succeeds.

          Is there any reason for not giving the Release configuration?

Thanks,

Dheeraj

Is there anyone who knows the answer or the reason for no Release configuration?

Check the Dissolve Example. It has a more complete set of configurations.

Thanks for responding Tom Ruark. But I wanted Release configuration for Listener only. I even created the configuration but it gave linker errors as I mentioned in previous post.

How did you resolve this problem?

I've run into that too (in VS2012 Express). The problem is that Configuration manager will create the new configuration, but it's really stupid: it may say 'Release' but it doesn't make all the changes required. It just copies the stuff from the Debug configuration. Best guess is either the _DEBUG preprocessor macro is still set and/or it's picking up the wrong runtime library, and half the possible combinations of those two will throw linker errors. You just need to walk through and fix *all* the compiler/linker options, preferably with a printout of options that work from another example project like Dissolve.

Tom,

This template, which allows to parametrize the Plug IN with the HTML5 panels is the best thing ever happened to Photoshop SDK since the first API.

Please,

Give us a version with real release mode (Poor'sMan).

It might be crucial for performance.

Thank You.
