Hello! I noticed in the release notes for the latest version of Photoshop it mentioned that it's possible to add multiple guides at once. Is this available via ExtendScript, and is this documented anywhere? If not, is anyone willing to explain how it works? Depending on how it works, I imagine I'll need to test for the feature and fall back to the old one-at-a-time method. I'm also curious if the live-preview of guides from the built in guide generator is available via Extendscript. Thanks for any help, Cameron

Ahoy! The latest release of Photoshop has "broken" the native behavior of the Tab key in html panels. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a new API I need to incorporate. Expected behavior: 1. Focus into text field in a form 2. Hit the Tab key 3. The next field is focused. Actual behavior 1. Focus into text field in a form 2. Hit the Tab key 3. Photoshop hides the application UI (Photoshop hotkey tab behavior). Anyone happen to know if there's something that can be done about this?

After about a week of back and forth, the reporting user installed the original GuideGuide beta to try to reproduce the issue and everything works now >.< Sadly, this appears to have been a wild goose chase. I forgot the most important debugging advice: turn it off and then on again. This did cause me to add sensable fallbacks for those values, so if the issue does appear again, it should hopefully not crash anything.

I unfortunatelly can't repro this myself, and can't figure out from their enviroments any common context that causes the problems. If you have some sample code you want me to add to a panel for them to test (like creating a new doc), I'm happy to do that. Not sure about the 100% fail time. I got the sense that that was the case, but I'll confirm.

I'm also happy to provide access to the GuideGuide repos on GitHub to someone from Adobe if that will be of help ruling out Photoshop as the cause. The panels will eventually be open source, but I'm not prepared to open them up until they officially ship.

Hello, I've got a few users of GuideGuide reporting that GuideGuide crashes Photoshop. I am not able to reproduce this error myself. I've been sending them various panels that segment the actions to determine what is causing the crashes and so far it seems that executing ActionReference commands, both in ExtendScript and via the csawlibs are at the source of the problem. The following code will crash Photoshop for them reliably (I cannot reproduce it myself). function getOffsets() { var ref = new ActionReference(); ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") ) var desc = executeActionGet(ref) var xOffSet = desc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('rulerOriginH')) var yOffSet = desc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('rulerOriginV')) return [xOffSet/65536, yOffSet/65536] } I've been using some variation of this code for over 3 years and have never had an issue with it until last week. The user that is most actively helping debug this mentioned that the problem started happening in a previously working panel after a recent Creative Cloud update, and exists in a new version of the panel that runs on entirely different code (except for the ActionReference stuff). Has something changed that has broken this process? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't know of any other way to get the ruler offsets of a document, so I'd love to find a solution. Here's a link to the current support thread: https://github.com/guideguide/support/issues/3 The user @kropecius experiences crashes when focusing on fields, which I've been able to confirm happens when GuideGuide checks photoshop for environment information (the code above). The user @SkyNebula experiences crashes when the panel opens but not in the context that @kropercius mentions. GuideGuide checks for info when it initializes, so his issue may unrelated, or if the problem is in the ActionRefrence itself, may be some core issue that's causing different symptoms for different people. Also potentially related, a select set of users claim that GuideGuide doesn't add guides. I haven't fully investigated this yet, but as guide adding is being done via ActionReference I think it may be connected. (Adding guide via csawlib seems to have a bug that doen't automatically enable guide visiblility so I'm stuck using ActionReference). Cameron

Hi lijyang, The issue exists in the current beta of GuideGuide. To install, open up your current GuideGuide panel, and choose "modify settings" from the flyout menu. Change the update channel to "beta". Confirm the settings change, then have GuideGuide check for updates. After a short wait you'll be prompted to open and close the panel, which will update to the beta. At that point: 1. Disable Show > Guides 2. If you've been testing, clear the guides: View > Clear Guides 3. Run a GuideGuide set. Expected: Guides appear Actual: Guides are created, but still hidden. Enabling Show > Guides reveals the new guides. Presumption: When using the csawlib to add guides, guides are added without consideration of guide visibility. Desired: Code to toggle Show > Guides. Something For reference, the code being executed: var originalUnits:Units = PHOTOSHOP.preferences.rulerUnits PHOTOSHOP.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS var i:Number = 0; var doc:Document = PHOTOSHOP.activeDocument var u:Object for(i=0;i<params.horzGuides.length;i++){ u = params.horzGuides[i] + " px" as Object doc.guides.add(Direction.HORIZONTAL,u) } for(i=0;i<params.vertGuides.length;i++){ u = params.vertGuides[i] + " px" as Object doc.guides.add(Direction.VERTICAL,u) } PHOTOSHOP.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnits

Hello, in an upcoming update to GuideGuide I've moved nearly all my code into the panel and am relying heavily on the csawlib. Unfortunately, it seems that now when guides are added to the stage, if the user has not set guides to be visible, GuideGuide adds the guides but does not reveal them. This has resulted in a number of support tickets from people that assume GuideGuide is broken. I've been confused by it myself on many occasions. Is it possible to show/hide guides using the csawlib? I've searched through the docs but can't find anything that indicates it's possible. I've still got a .jsx file that gets embedded when the panel is compiled I use to get around the broken history suspension in the csawlib. I'd settle for a javascript solution if that's all there is. Looking through a list of values that charIDToTypeID accepts I've seen some guide related things, but so far the structure of that sort of code has been a bit incomprehensible.

After a few days of digging into this I've made some progress. It's working on my end, and I've narrowed down where the problem exits. Unfortunately I don't actually know what the issue is. I was able to track it back to being caused by my migration from a normal flex builder project to a Extension Builder project. The culprit exits in the manifest. My original file was using a manifest.xml that was built by reverse engineering the Kuler panel a few years ago when I first built GuideGuide. When I moved to the Extension Builder project, I trusted it to generate a valid manifest file and tried to port my data as best as I could. The result caused the error mentioned above. To resolve the issue above I grabbed my old manifest file and replaced its contents for the Extension Builder generated one. The resulting diff didn't present any obvious changes. The only significant change noted is that the generated version used <DispatchInfo> elements with any Host attribute. My older (working) manifest specified two separate <DispatchInfo> elements, one with Host="PHXS" and the other with Host="PHSP". My best guess is that without the host specified, the plugin doesn't know where to connect the PlugPlug request.

Hello, I've recently converted a panel of mine from a Extension Builder project. Since then when I try to retrieve data from Photoshop's storage I get PlugPlugRequestFailed. To see if the way I converted my project may be the cause, I created a fresh project with just the preference code and it still failed. Just to double check the data was still there, I debugged an old version of the panel and it was able to retrieve the data just fine. All of my other SyncRequestResult related code like getHostEnvironment() works fine. What kind of dependencies are there for retrievePreference() that might cause this? var csxs:CSXSInterface = CSXSInterface.getInstance();
var ggDataResult:Object = csxs.retrievePreference("ggData");
if (SyncRequestResult.COMPLETE == ggDataResult.status && ggDataResult.data) {}
Thanks, Cameron

Giving this a bump in hopes of a response. I've been scouring the internet for answers, finding a few others looking for info, and have yet to find anyone with a solution. Thus far my research has lead to iOS devs using applicationDPI, but in my tests, Photoshop returns a runtimeDPI of 160 even on retina screens. Even forcing application dpi to 320 does nothing. In addition, from what I can tell this doesn't take into account multiple display scenarios, so users with two displays at different resolutions will get stuck with one or the other. I'm starting to wonder, is it even possible to create a retina panel at this point? Is this something in the Photoshop native Flash player that needs to be upgraded?

Hello, I recently made the UI for my custom panel code-only, but my retina users report that everything is still pixelated (I haven't had a chance to track down a retina machine to test it yet myself). I had hoped that doing the UI in the code would make it work naturally, but that doesn't seem to be the case. In researching this, I've come across users of mobile apps using FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.applicationDPI set a target DPI, but this doesn't appear to exist in the CS Flex SDK 3.4.0 (seems to be a Flex 4 thing). What's the best way to support retina displays for my panel? As far as I can tell, Flex 4 doesn't work with the CSXS library. Thanks, Cameron

Hello, With the latest retina update to Photoshop, I've received reports that the Photoshop UI icon for my panel has stopped working. They've stop functioning on my dev copies as well. Has something changed in the recent update to the way custom panel Photoshop UI icons work? In addition, is there a process by which we can create retina UI icons for our panels? Thanks, Cameron

Hello, I've come to dislike the process by which one updates a custom Photoshop panel. I'd love for my panel to be able to download, unpack, and install updates itself. Ideally, I'd love to be able to do it in the background the way apps like Chrome or GitHub for Mac do, but I'd settle for making the user click an update button. The key is that I would love to be able to circumvent the whole Extension Manager process. I'm fine with it as a method of first install, but I hate that my users have to leave photoshop, launch an app that a large number don't know exist, and update from there. I've been trying to come up with some solid way to do this. It appears that AIR apps can update themselves. The examples use a .air file, but I wonder if it'd be possible to use a different format. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff2.html#WS9CD40F06-4DD7-4230-B56A-88AA27541A1E Does anyone know if this is possible, this way or any other? Thanks in advance, Cameron

Just to follow up, it looks like I did have a .actionscriptProperties file. For some reason it didn't show up for me even while viewing hidden files, but it opened when I launched it directly with Terminal. Switching things as Tom suggested did the trick.

Hi Tom, Thanks for getting back to me. My project doesn't have a .actionScriptProperties file (which surprises me, as I feel it used to have one). Instead I have a .flexProperties file. I tried adding that bit in there but when I try to do something like `import flash.filesystem.*` it doesn't autofill. 1. Will what you mentioned work in flexProperties? 2. Do I need a lib of some sort to work with AIR?

Hello, I'd love to be able to access the file system with a panel. I've read that after cs5 panels use the AIR framework, but I'm not entirely sure how to use it. I'm currently using the flex 3.4.0 sdk which was required for CS4. How can I go about upgrading to the AIR sdk? Thanks, Cameron

I forgot to mention this is CS4. I've tracked it down to this line: `CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("PhotoshopPersistent");` Is there a better way to keep the panel persistent? It works in x64 just fine.

Hello, I have a custom panel that, when opened in Photoshop 32bit on Windows 7, crashes Photoshop itself. The same panel works fine in Windows Photoshop x64 and on OSX. Are there any known issues that would cause something like this? I've run into plenty of things that crash my panel, but nothing that crashes the whole app. Thanks for any input, Cameron

Hi Flussing, While recording your action, if you do a Save As action into a specific folder, and then a close action, Photoshop should honor those settings with that action. Any image that has that action run on it will be saved into that folder, then closed.

Hello, I'm running into errors when using my Photoshop panel in CS5. I've been using trials of Flash Builder 4 on various machines and each time I have to set the environment up I seem to run into new issues. As of the last machine I was on, it was functioning fine in both CS4 & 5, but on this machine running the panel in CS5 outputs: 3/9/2011 07:50:16.600 [DEBUG] com.adobe.csxs.external.CommunicationUtils [DispatchingRequest functionName="findMiddleSuspender" params="true|true"] ------------------ 3/9/2011 07:50:16.600 [ERROR] com.adobe.csxs.external.CommunicationUtils [Error in request data, it is null where some data is expected ] ------------------ 3/9/2011 07:50:16.601 [INFO] com.adobe.csxs.external.CommunicationUtils [RequestResult after parsing result="[RequestResult status="RequestResultInvalid" data=null]" ] ------------------ 3/9/2011 07:50:16.602 [DEBUG] com.adobe.csxs.external.CommunicationUtils [Result="[RequestResult status="RequestResultInvalid" data=null]"] ------------------ I can't find any documentation on external.CommunicationUtils, so I'm not sure at what point the error is being thrown. The function call (mxml): private function findMiddle_StageBoth(event:Event):void { CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("findMiddleSuspender", "true|true"); } The function (jsx): function findMiddleSuspender (a) { app.activeDocument.suspendHistory("Find Middle", "findMiddle(a)"); // All the parameter parsing happens in the next function. I left this in here for reference, but even something as simple as alert(a) throws the error. I'm not sure where that means the script is having problems. } In an attempt to try to figure out where the error is actually happening, I stripped the functions down to bare bones: (mxml): private function findMiddle_StageBoth(event:Event):void { CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("findMiddleSuspender"); } (jsx): function findMiddleSuspender () { alert('Foo') } and it still gave me the "some data is expected" error, which leads me to believe it's not my functions that are the problem. My current setup: • Flash Builder 4 • SDK: CS Flex SDK 3.4.0 (Also tried Flex 3.5 and Flex 4) • Libs: CSXSLibrary.swc (Don't recall where I got it. CSXSLibrary-2.0-sdk-3.4-public.swc that comes with the SDK and Panel Dev Guide both cause errors with the Air Logger)
