thank, Yes, this is exactly what i was doing, placing alerts in the middle of the code. The thing is that i can get as "far" as the jsx code since jsx cannot be debugged in chrome and i can't get it to stop on VS code BPs. I do have BPs in VS code but it only stops on these when i run it from withing VS code, not from PS. ... View more

Did you mean this: (your code caused some errors) function loadJSX() { var csInterface = new CSInterface();     var extensionRoot = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION) + '/jsx/';     csInterface.evalScript('$.myNamespace.evalFiles("' + extensionRoot + '")'); } And in any case, what you explained is exactly (with the above change i made) what i had when i created this question thread.

Of course, i did not attache it but $.ext is this: $.ext = {     //Evaluate a file and catch the exception.     evalFile : function(path) {         try {             $.evalFile(path);         } catch (e) {alert("Exception:" + e);}     },     // Evaluate all the files in the given folder     evalFiles: function(jsxFolderPath) {         var folder = new Folder(jsxFolderPath);         if (folder.exists) {             var jsxFiles = folder.getFiles("*.jsx");             for (var i = 0; i < jsxFiles.length; i++) {                 var jsxFile = jsxFiles;                 $.ext.evalFile(jsxFile);             }         }     } } can you attach a single example of how to  call a jsx file with functions which are called to in the .js file? In the js file i call them, in this case getFolder() function f_Browse() { var csInterface = new CSInterface(); $("#btnBrowse").click(function () { csInterface.evalScript('getFolder()', function (result) { $("#folderName").val(result); }); }); } ...

Sorry, That was a typo... it is main.js. to clarify: in my main.js I call loadJSX(), which reads the correct apth the my function file and in the same main.js file i use, or at least am trying to use getFolder() like this: function f_Browse() { var csInterface = new CSInterface(); $("#btnBrowse").click(function () { csInterface.evalScript('getFolder()', function (result) { $("#folderName").val(result); }); }); } My panel is working for some time, I ma trying to move some functions, to a single file to prevent duplication. As i mentioned, only if i define these function within main.jsx will they be evaluated and main.jsx is the one which is stated in my manifest as <ScriptPath> ... View more

i guess it is not being evaluated but i can't find the reason for it. this is a summery of my main.jsx: function Initialize() { document.body.style.backgroundColor = "#" + UIColorToHexString(csInterface.hostEnvironment.appSkinInfo.panelBackgroundColor); Persistent(true); Register(true, gRegisteredEvents.toString()); } (function () { 'use strict'; var csInterface = new CSInterface(); function init() { loadJSX(); // f_DocName(); f_Browse(); f_create(); setFilePrefix(); getSessionCookies(); toggleText("cbAddWhiteEdge", "etWhiteEdgeSize"); toggleText("cbAddWrap", "etwrapWidth"); toggleText("cbAddWrap", "etwrapOpacity"); $("#mySlider").prop("value", $("#jpegQuality").val()); themeManager.init(); showSliderVal(); } init(); }()); ....... function loadJSX() { var csInterface = new CSInterface(); var extensionRoot = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION) + "/host/include/"; alert(extensionRoot ); csInterface.evalScript('$._ext.evalFiles("' + extensionRoot + '")');   } The above alert(extensionRoot) is showing the correct path and i was able to follow it in the debugger as far as i could: it found my function: part of myFunc.jsx is this file: function getFolder() {     try {         var defaultFolder = File(app.activeDocument.path);         alert(defaultFolder);     } catch (someError) {         var defaultFolder = File("~");     }     mf = function (f) { return /\.ai$/i.test(f.name) },         f = Folder.selectDialog("Import Folder", defaultFolder)     if (f != null) {         return f.fsName;     } else {         // if (f) return f.fullName;         return "";     } } function getDocName() {     return app.documents.length ? app.activeDocument.name : "No docs open!"; } but as i said, only when i define getFolder() in my main.jsx will it be evalutaed ...

Good to know! I was using then, probably unnecessarily, Pro Photo due to the recommendation in the TKaction masks panel. Following your advice I would switch to Adobe RGB, however, doing this, as you explained, will probably cause color changes in my current adjustment layers, So would you suggest using RGB only for new files I create and keep opening older files, using Pro Photo, in their original color space? ... View more

I think it a bug... I've been using Pro Photo profile for years. It has the largest color range and is the best profile to use when working with luminosity masks. I think this is a bug since I see different results when I follow the same procedure. I always convert to sRGB and save as JPEG for printing. I used “Export as” just to test what the results would be but I never use it for print. After opening the file, if I (A) hide the adjustment layer, convert to srgb the colors are preserved correctly. When I (B) unhide the adjustment layers and do the same the colors are washed out. When I try to flatten the image before converting or play around with the settings, the colors suddenly appear correctly. If I then undo try (B) again, suddenly the colors show up correctly. I've attached my sample image and what i noticed it an inconsistent behavior. https://adobe.ly/319f6HE ... View more

Thanks, I must be doing something wrong... My panel is meant to run "runFunc.jsx" 1. I open the panel 2. I start my debugger in VS code by running a script which calls  "runFunc.jsx" ans a set a BP there.

VC does not take over in my case and  "runFanc.jsx" just runs as expected from the panel. ... View more
