I'm afraid we get a run time error 24 stating that either Step1(); or Step77(); is not a function. I've marked our changes by comments.

Thanks for the response. The script builds a diagnostic as it goes from step to step.  At a point in the script a decision has to be made.  The diagnostic is displayed for the script user to evaluate.  The user should be able to say that the diagnostic is good and that the script should continue on or the user should state that the diagnostic needs more work and the script should allow the user to use the eraser tool to fix the problem and then tell the script to use the corrected image to continue with the same steps as the good image was sent to. Please ignore our script and just consider what I have stated. RONC ... View more

Have to blame everything on me not xbytor.  Sorry  RONC ... View more

This is part of code and sorry I misstated at end of script. If STOP were at the end it works but unless we STOP it before step 77, the user doesn't have time to finish and no way to signal when finished so that the script can continue. Sorry for my mixup. See my comments in between code segments. RONC   function step74(enabled, withDialog)   {     if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)       return;     var dialogMode = (withDialog ?

Tom, Looked familiar as I found we use this in all of our scripts to hide the History palette.  The renaming part should be available for all plugin types as the one we have is a filter plugin and wanted to show parameters as well as plugin title.  Anything to help the user should be general purpose.

The reference to Filter Factory was off topic referring to the Custom Filter.  I think there is a x64 version out there but I've overused my memory for a bit. Thanks for trying. RONC ... View more

Dave, I'll bet what I'm asking for is used in the the BOX blur filter.  Anyway the internals are addressable from JSX? I think Custom Filter was in Filter Factory about an Adobe century ago. Regards, RONC ... View more

piXXXXXXel, Thanks.  I like to control things in my code but can't here. I did make it Italic using BoldItalic so the title is different. Gave you a couple more X's.  The way people name their kids today!! RONC ... View more

Thanks for the response. I have the show much later in the dialog building. As I see this, it will write the text not in the title bar but in the normal area of the dialog. How do I change background color around the statictext and also hide the just the title bar? Not hide the border. RONC ... View more

Dave, Thanks for response. Custom filter is even worse trying to emulate what I want and it is only 5 pixels in width. Someone should rename this filter to User defined Convolution Filter(limited).   Custom filter says nothing!!!!!!  HiPass also is INCORRECT title. RONC ... View more

Mylenium, Average blur is what I started with but found that has to be called once to get each i index i value.  Also have to select for each i index value.  This a tremendous waste of computation time and people in front of screen time.   I really appreciate you response.
