That arrow has no effect on the order in the Folders panel. It only affects the display in the Content panel.

It appears that editing the filename of an image searched for by a partial match - even if the edit does not affect the partial search criterion - causes the image to disappear from the window. This is disconcerting at first, but the image is not lost and pressing [Enter] on the search criterion causes it to reappear.

My (Windows) folder naming convention was to have the most important and frequently accessed folders named starting with an underscore. Prior to the update to 2023, these were listed first. Now they appear under folders starting with a number. The same goes for filenames, which is another buggeration factor. Thank you, Adobe! I nearly cr4pped myself when I thought tens of folders containing thousands of files had disappeared! I can't see anything that will enable me to revert to the previous listing order. Why? Why? Why?

This is repeatable. No other apps are running and all other Adobe updates finished OK. Ideas, please.

Experimentation (including deleting and reinstalling software) indicates that the issue only occurs when the code is run from ExtendScript Toolkit CC. The script runs OK when started from PS. I don't know what to make of that, because there have been no updates to ESTK for at least a couple of years. I reinstalled ESTK and the error remains. Very strange, but at least I can run the scripts from PS. This has finally convinced me to switch to VS, so a learning experience ahead. Thanks to all who made helpful suggestions.

And how will that affect selection of the RGB channel? The Method is used in a large number of my functions, and errors in everyone I've tested. It did not error prior to the last two updates (which I did one after the other); I use scripts all the time and the majority call functions containing that Method.

That code does not create a selection, it selects the RGB Channel. As to you getting no error, curiouser and curiouser (as Alice said). It's consistent on my system. Unfortunately I am unable to check the execution on my Mac. The Method definitely did not generate the error prior to the last two PS updates, it's used in a large number of my functions.

With 23.1.0 on Win10? If so, grateful that you try this code, copied straight from ScriptingListenerJS.log: // Code from ScriptListener var idslct = charIDToTypeID( "slct" ); var desc269 = new ActionDescriptor(); var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" ); var ref7 = new ActionReference(); var idChnl = charIDToTypeID( "Chnl" ); var idChnl = charIDToTypeID( "Chnl" ); var idRGB = charIDToTypeID( "RGB " ); ref7.putEnumerated( idChnl, idChnl, idRGB ); desc269.putReference( idnull, ref7 ); executeAction( idslct, desc269, DialogModes.NO ); If it works, I have a real puzzle. Many thx.

All codes are four characters, padded with space(s). Preferences reset, PS updated and restarted. Still the same problem.

Since the latest update, previously working code containing the application Method 'charIDToTypeID' fails "charIDToTypeID is not a function". Any ideas why and how to fix it? I have a LOT of functions that use it. Also the error "ActionDescriptor does not have a constructor" is occurring in code that previously worked OK. Hopefully I can address that using Script Listener, but I do notice that it is showing changes (expansions) to the code from previous versions of PS. FWIW, 'stringIDToTypeID' works OK. PS 23.1.0 Win10 e.g.: var idslct = charIDToTypeID ( "slct" );

When I use File.openDlg there is a highlighted entry of 'tmp00000001' in the File name box. There is no such file in the folder. Any ideas on how to stop this behaviour? TIA

I have a dialog in which a checkbox.onClick function is called when the dialog (window) is activated, using window.onActivate. The checkbox.onClick function fires File.openDlg the first time it is triggered, but returns immediately every subsequent time. The window.onActivate function also returns immediately every subsequent time it is triggered. The challenge is that the window.onActivate event seems to be triggered every time there is any activity in the window. I expected it to be triggered only following the .onShow event. I need the File.openDlg window to appear on the same screen (on a multiple screen system) and within the bounds of the dialog window. Thoughts?

When the .openDlg opens the dialog, the File name field contains highlighted text: tmp00000001 .
Is there anyway to stop this? That entry has nothing to do with me.
var folder2Search = new Folder; var searchFolder = folder2Search.openDlg ( "Select folder to search" );

As per subject, after upgrading Bridge and Photoshop this morning double clicking an image in Bridge caused an error. Upon investigation I found that the File Type Associations in Bridge had not been updated to 2021. Indeed, there was no reference to 2021 in the drop-down and the [Reset to Default Associations] button set the named associations to "Adobe Photoshop 2020".
I set them manually.

Thank you for a quick and correct answer. Rather ridiculous isn't it that to effect a single ampersand one has to enter "&&&\u200B"?

I have a statictext that contains an ampersand. This effects the underlining of the next character and no ampersand. The 'fix' of doubling up the ampersands simply effects two ampersands (neither underlined). Any ideas, please? Win10 : ExtendScript Toolkit : Javascript

Change for change sake is a pervasive disease. It's not just "modernisation", some of it ignores (a) who uses the 'tool' and (b) how they use it. An example we might all have come across ... in order to accommodate advertising, ATM screens were converted from monochrome to colour. That made them harder to use for users with certain vision impairments; but in particular, they are harder to see in certiain lighting conditions, such as direct sunlight, owing to the reduction in contrast. As least Microsoft facilitated the 'old' presentation of the Windows UI when they effected a radical change. As I have posted separately, possibly the most outrageous change Adobe has made with the new ACR is altering the positions (actual and relative) of the [Open] and [Cancel] buttons. Muscle memory has me clicking [Done] or [Cancel] when I want to Open the image(s). Grrr!

1) Muscle memory has me clicking [Done] or [Cancel] instead of [Open]. Why, why, why did Adobe change the position of the buttons? It's probably the most idiotic thing any software developer can do. 2) The missing icons in images in the Filmstrip that showed an edit had been done. I very frequently open up to a dozen variants of images, and only open into PS those that I have edited in ACR. Now I can't easily see which they are. Sometimes there is an icon when I hover over an image, but most times not.

Just click the [Auto] again, it's a 'Click-on/click-off' button.

I have a script that loads a Brush group at the start of processing. I want to unload/delete that group on completion. I have the code (via ScriptListener) to perform the delete, but it delete the "current" (actually the currently selected, i.e., highlighted) Brush group. On completion of the processing, the Brush group is apparently (by manual inspection) not selected (highlighted), so the code doesn't delete it, albeit it executes without reporting an error, possibly because there is no selected Brush group to delete - no Brush group is selected (highlighted). ScriptListener does not show any code resulting from a manual selection of a Brush group. There appears to be no way to test whether a particular Brush group is loaded. Consequently, repeated execution of the script results in multiple instances of the Brush group accumulating. Any ideas, please? TIA

The only way I found to stop PS 2020 saving again a document already saved to the Adobe Cloud was to use the Script Events Manager to trigger a Javascript that tests the file extension for "PSDC" on 'Save' and 'Start to save' and saves the document to a dummy file instead. Of course the previously saved versions are available in the Cloud, it doesn't overwrite, it just saves a new version. Nevertheless, it's annoying, especially if the file is large or the bandwidth is restricted for any reason (e.g., other activity)

What is doubly aggravating is that it's a "feature" that can't be bypassed by using Script Events Manager to run a script to close the file without saving! Grrrr!
