Does anyone know if it's possible to change Eclipse to install for CC2015 (and not the default CC2012 32bit)? I face personal development process issue with AEM no longer working with CC2015 (CEP folder missing). I.e. normally I use the Eclipse Ctrl+F11 to update .html/.js/.jsx for quick iterations and then build a zxp when ready for more version testing. But if I'm to develop CC2015-only stuff can't use Eclipse and with no AEM I'd need to upload a test build to Add-ons.I guess there's always manual copying the stuff (any good links exactly what needs to go where)? ...

My scripts usually start by duplicating the doc so to not change the original. I should be able to put the logic of if-artboard-or-doc there. It could also be a workaround for hidden "it's a document"-assumptions, i.e. start by duplicating the artboard to a doc. Another note is that current ESTK will work with artboards but you can't tell them apart from layerSets. Also you have no access to artboard size since layerSet.bounds is the normal content dimensions. So there needs to be an SDK update from Adobe to do Javascript. Interestingly even old Generator development environment works out of the box and gives the artboard bounds. ... View more

That happened quicker than I thought One potentially big thing thing if you handle whole documents is that with Artboards the canvas size becomes virtual/fluid. I.e. it's still just one doc with one canvas and the size of the canvas being about the bounding box of all artboards. Each Artboard has it's bounds (just like it was a group in a big empty canvas) that also acts as mask. Creating/moving Artboards will automatically extend the canvas size. So if you have two 1024x768 Artboards horizontally with 200px in between, you will have about 3500x1000px canvas (there is some extra). ... View more

Looks about right. What I've not tried is subfolders in my mxi/zxp, i.e. I have all files in same place. Also you could try removing the spaces and capitalizations just as potential issues. Here's what I have for copying a Generator js-file <file destination="$photoshopappfolder/Plug-ins/Generator/MyPlugin" file-type="ordinary" products="" source="main.js"/> And I don't have the product targeting at file list as a comma specified list but as a Products-element for whole zxp    <products>       <product familyname="Photoshop" maxversion="15.9" primary="true" version="15.0"/>       </products> ...

In Javascript you can "throw anything", i.e. number, string, object, etc. Might be you are allowed to throw undefined exceptions, i.e. just "throw;". Then when you try to use "err" you'd get the error you described. ... View more

I guess you found an answer, but some things I've done in the topic that might or might not be helpful add a check to your event handlers if it's already being processed (especially if you trigger something async). I think I diagnosed that in some cases events queue up in Photoshop/ESTK side and handler gets called multiple times in succession. Same thing applies for disabling, i.e. not depending on the component to actually get disabled but just stop processing stuff had problems that a progress dialog with cancel-button had different behaviour in Win & Mac with Windows failed to redraw a dialog and Mac failed to catch a cancel-button click. After some experimenting added following to each progress update $.sleep(50) dialog.update() Use a timer to delay certain operations to allow refresh. Make things async, i.e. don't call the script in an event handler but mark it to be called in the next convenient moment ... View more

It might "be a feature" if the outcome is the same on both.. My experience is that Javascript performance is pretty equal in Win & Mac (latter being slightly better). But there might be specific things that perform very differently. You should drill down on the difference, is everything slower or just some specific spot. If you find specific part that has a big difference, post it back here. A couple of pointers that might or might not be relevant (since you might be doing going through all layers): The "collection.length" is not actually a variable but counts the lenght in real time every time it's called. So always when iterating through a collection, store length in local variable and don't do a "for (var i=0; i<collection.length; i++)" It's faster to use foo.layers than foo.artLayers or foo.layerSets. If you just want to iterate art layers, you should still use .layers and add an if to chekc if it's an art layer ... View more

Ok. If it's a known set, could you put them in some known shared location and match file names to fontPostScriptName? I mean seems that font's I've installed have kept original name in \Windows\Fonts, but otherwise there is no correlation with the filename. Also tried copying one file in terminal and got "A required privilege is not held by the client.", so likely not possible to do from script even if you could get the filename. ... View more

I would even say what you propose is not allowed/intended behavior of platform fonts. Fonts are very much licensed/DRM-constrained content, i.e. either Apple/Microsoft or the user has a contract on the use of the file (you pay separately for web/app/print use) and redistribution is not permitted even in free fonts. So assuming you want to copy the so it could be distributed with the PSD without careful examination of the terms, you're likely to be on shaky legal ground. I would study if you could for example convert textItems to shapes, etc. to be portable. ... View more

Few more pointers on paths in Win & Mac: Paths in Mac resolve to using "/" and in Windows "\". However in Windows you can use paths with "/", which makes operating easier. Also Mac paths come with a trailing "/" and Windows does not. Good idea to sanitize folders like below Temp path in Windows resolves to "C:/Users/Username/AppData/Local/Temp/" and in Mac "something of form /var/folders/26/d_y13s7n4hj93wrqzwbd2b_00000gn/T/" Plugin path in Windows resolves to "C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/Plug-ins/Generator/PluginFolderName/" and in Mac "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/Plug-ins/Generator/PluginFolderName/" sanitizePath: function (path) {         if (path) {             path = path.replace(/\\/gi, "/")             if (path[path.length-1] != "/") {                 path = path + "/"             }             return path         }     }, ...

Just wanted to follow up that the packaging worked out as above, i.e. you can package a panel and generator plugin as a hybrid zxp using an mxi like below. Just copying the the plugin files to right directory starts geneartor automatically, so works out great. One thing I had to look up is how to reference the plugin directory in generator code and it can be done using Node.js variable __dirname. So you can call jsx-files in the mxi like _generator.evaluateJSXFile(__dirname + "/foo.jsx"). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <macromedia-extension name="Foo Panel" id="com.yourdomain.yourapp.bundle" requires-restart="true" version="1.10.0">    <author name="Your Name"/>    <description/>    <license-agreement/>    <products>       <product familyname="Photoshop" maxversion="15.9" primary="true" version="15.0"/>       </products>    <files>       <file destination="" file-type="CSXS" products="" minVersion="15.0" maxVersion="15.9" source="panel.zxp"/>       <file destination="$photoshopappfolder/Plug-ins/Generator/ShopMyAppDesigner" file-type="ordinary" products="" source="main.js"/>       <file destination="$photoshopappfolder/Plug-ins/Generator/ShopMyAppDesigner" file-type="ordinary" products="" source="package.json"/>       <file destination="$photoshopappfolder/Plug-ins/Generator/ShopMyAppDesigner" file-type="ordinary" products="" source="foo.jsx"/>       <file destination="$photoshopappfolder/Plug-ins/Generator/ShopMyAppDesigner" file-type="ordinary" products="" source="bar.jsx"/>    </files> </macromedia-extension> ...

There, please go and favorite Photoshop Javascript API document.duplicate() bug Have to say though that I really wish Adobe would separate the developer support from the consumer one (or even be more active here).

I'm happy to create well specified and easily reproducible reports if I know they get actually read processed. Maybe some day ... View more

Yeah. I mean just from Javascript perspective if you have object.method() call the method should always be applied to to the object. If, like quite often, object needs to be in active doc it should raise the exception (most likely they've just missed this check). Actually that's I've not noticed it before is that you don't typically manipulate anything but the active doc. ... View more
