This is a fine place to ask that question! DavideBarranca​ has some Action scripting in his HTML Panels book that you might find useful. He also links to this handy code in his github, which might be helpful for you. You'll need the name of the actions, as well as the name of the Action set they are in, and you should be able to call `app.doAction()` on a random one using some of Trevor's methods above. ...

So if you're using the VSCode plugin on Windows, it's not a stable release, even though you can install it. The stable Windows build ought to be out by the end of the week. Also this week VSCode 1.33 broke the ExtendScript Debugger plugin entirely, the release at the end of the week ought to fix it. In general the next release ought to be more stable. ... View more

Silly-V  wrote By the way, it's super annoying how multiple windows of VSCode have to be closed and re-opened to switch the debug session to another product. Multiple debug sessions is a noted feature request. I think I got the latest VSCode add-on right, unless there's another place to get a new-er update? We're expecting an updated version tomorrow. ...

Hi there filipinto​! Is it the case that you used to be able to batch edit with Nik Color Efex before updating Photoshop or your Mac? If it's a Photoshop version problem, you could try re-installing a previous version of Photoshop using these instructions. Then you could try batching and at least narrow down the problem. Has anyone reading this thread tried contacting Nik Efex support with a link to this thread? I can tweet at them, but I'm not a paid user so I can't open a support request. Let me know what you try! ... View more

Hi @riccardom15921476 , This particular forum is for plugins and extensions hosted on the Adobe Exchange. Are you making a plugin of some sort? Is this an Acrobat question? If so, the forum moderators might consider moving this post to Acrobat Scripting or the Acrobat SDK area. Regardless, here's an older thread about GetAnnots() that might be helpful. Hope this is helpful! ... View more

Hi junkos87377808! That sounds annoying. Could you please clarify; when you say you can't download applications, are you talking about Creative Cloud apps (like Photoshop, etc.) that you can't download from the Creative Cloud desktop app (the drop down menu)? If so this is really the wrong forum area, this forum is about plugins and extensions in the Adobe Exchange... Are you talking about the Adobe Exchange specifically? Thanks! ... View more

Wait a second, I wrote a lot of the FAQ... In the "Troubleshooting" section of the VSCode Marketplace page it's the first bullet point: Make sure the ESTK stand-alone application is closed Granted, in the VSCode app I found it's a lot of scrolling past large gifs to see that. ... View more

Hi there wickedtall person! Sorry about how late this reply is... did you ever figure it out? I have a couple of resources that might help you out if you're still facing this issue. First of all, it's my understanding that topcoat is depreciated. You might want to try out spectrum-css, which was very recently open sourced. Here are the docs. Also check out this article on Spectrum by DBarranca​ As for quitting and restarting Photoshop to test the changes, that is, indeed, a slow and frustrating process. I wound up creating the following image in order to remember how it worked for this article: Turns out this is true for Photoshop, but in After Effects and Premiere Pro you only need to close and open your panel. Right now you're using CEP to build a Photoshop panel, but soon we how to bring UXP to Photoshop, which will, eventually, make the panel/extension development process much faster, with far fewer app restarts and easier-to-use UI elements. I know none of this directly answers your question but I hope it's somewhat helpful. Let me know! - Erin ... View more

Hi Narayan, Sorry about the delayed response time. Have you seen this Chrome compatibility chart in the documentation? It might be helpful. Generally speaking, if this is a CEP problem or an InDesign problem, and it's fixed in the 2018 versions, usually there's not much you can do about the problems in 2017. That said, I'll also ask the the teams about your issue. Best, Erin ... View more

Hi there David, Particle Builder is a third party plugin, right? Have you tried contacting Pixflow directly? I can try and get some other folks to weigh in on the problem but thought I'd ask about that first. Also what OS and version of AE are you using? Best, Erin ... View more

Hi OhmsG! Have you seen our article on running a Node.js server in a panel?

Hi Arie! At the very least I can confirm that After Effects is missing from that chart in the docs. I have filed a github issue about it. In the sample Premiere invisible panel there are two Events called within StartOn... maybe that's the problem? I'll see if I can find someone else to answer this as well. ... View more

Hi Tool111, I asked the CEP team, and they said that flyout menus work in CEP 9 / Photoshop 2019 on their internal testing sample app. They tried your code sample above and could confirm the flyout menu didn't work. Could we get some more details on your operating system and the exact version(s) of Photoshop that you've tried? They also asked if they could see your extension. Is it available for download on Github or listed on the Creative Cloud Exchange by any change? Wish I had some better news... Erin ... View more

Hi SnapFashun, If your company is an Enterprise Customer you can contact Enterprise Customer Support. If you're an Adobe partner (formerly known as a tech partner) scroll down for help options on this page. Meanwhile, you might try disabling GateKeeper to see if it's a Mac issue (just in case). Was your plugin developed using the Illustrator SDK or with CEP? It's OK if you're not sure. I'm not personally familiar with .aip files. ... View more

Hi Kristen, That looks like a file permission issue (perhaps). We have a different fix we were trying out yesterday. Open Terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and paste in these two commands: sudo sed s/604800000/604800/g /Applications/Adobe\ ExtendScript\ Toolkit\ CC/ExtendScript\ Toolkit.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Required/cdic/11BTBackend.jsx > /Applications/Adobe\ ExtendScript\ Toolkit\ CC/ExtendScript\ Toolkit.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Required/cdic/11BTBackend_temp.jsx ... hit return (or enter) then paste in: mv /Applications/Adobe\ ExtendScript\ Toolkit\ CC/ExtendScript\ Toolkit.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Required/cdic/11BTBackend_temp.jsx /Applications/Adobe\ ExtendScript\ Toolkit\ CC/ExtendScript\ Toolkit.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Required/cdic/11BTBackend.jsx If you get a password prompt, you'll need to put in your password for your Mac (note that password won't show up as you type). That should work, but if it doesn't, it may be that you're not an administrator of your computer (for example, your computer is managed by your workplace), in that case you'll need to get someone with admin privileges to help out. ...

Hi SnapFashun, I can verify that SnapLibrary.aip works correctly in Illustrator 2017 but does not appear in 2018 or 2019, instead I get this error when Illustrator launches: This is all on Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra. Are you the plugin's developer or a regular user? If you're a user, I'd contact the developer. If you're the developer, I can try to get someone on the Illustrator team to help. ... View more

Sorry about the system clock suggestions, we knew that was risky, but other users said it worked for them. We have a more official fix, please give it a try: So a possible workaround is to suggest the following to users 1.       Open the file(Mac): “/Applications/Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CC/ExtendScript Toolkit.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Required/cdic/11BTBackend.jsx” 2.       Search for the value: 604800000 (line reads bt.timeout = 604800000) 3.       Replace that value with 604800 and save 4.       Quit ExtendScript Toolkit and relaunch. A handful of third-party developers have verified this works. Here's the cause of the error: It looks like an issue because of signed 32-bit integer overflow that happens on this date “19 Nov 2018”. In the implementation in the ESTK jsx file “/Applications/Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CC/ExtendScript Toolkit.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Required/cdic/11BTBackend.jsx”, there is a timeout specified in milliseconds “bt.timeout = 604800000;   // a week in milliseconds”. The current time is(time(NULL)) since EPOCH: 1542783918 seconds. Adding:  1542783918 + 604800000 = 2147583918(which crosses the range of 32 bit integer(2,147,483,647).) Looks like it was a mistake putting 3 zeroes at the end because in BridgeTalk code... it expects timeout in seconds and not milliseconds. So bt.timeout should be 604800 and that will fix the overflow issue. ... View more
