JSinha, last I heard was that the engineers would take a look at it. But you should give the support ticket a vote here: Photoshop CC 2015: (win7) Crashes instantly when extension uses script UI I did come up with a hackish workaround to this issue though. If you make a script that briefly shows an (invisible) dialog and closes it again, and run that from Photoshop's File->Script menu before using the extension, then Photoshop will not crash. This means that you can distribute that script together with your extension and run it as part of the extension initialization, and everything will work out the box for the end user. Here's my code: // Copy this script to Photoshop/Presets/Scripts folder var dlgWindow = new Window("palette", ""); dlgWindow.opacity = 0; dlgWindow.show(); dlgWindow.close(); // In your panel initialization try{     if ($.os.match(/windows/i)) {         var idAdobeScriptAutomationScripts = stringIDToTypeID( "AdobeScriptAutomation Scripts" );             var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();             var idjsNm = charIDToTypeID( "jsNm" );             desc1.putString( idjsNm, """YOUR SCRIPT NAME""" );             var idjsMs = charIDToTypeID( "jsMs" );             desc1.putString( idjsMs, """undefined""" );         executeAction( idAdobeScriptAutomationScripts, desc1, DialogModes.NO );     } }catch(e){}; Crazy, eh. ...

You can do this:             // check if active layer is an artboard             var ref = new ActionReference();             ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) );             var isArtboardLayer = executeActionGet(ref).getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("artboardEnabled"));             // get artboard dimensions             var artBoardRect = executeActionGet(ref).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("artboard")).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("artboardRect"));             var artBoardRectWidth = new UnitValue (artBoardRect.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("right")) - artBoardRect.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("left")), "px");             var artBoardRectHeight = new UnitValue (artBoardRect.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("bottom")) - artBoardRect.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("top")), "px"); But I'm still struggling for a way to read the current value of the "autoExpandEnabled" setting... anyone? ...

So far I've run into these issues: - Photoshop CC2015 on Win7 crashes instantly when an extension runs a jsx to draw a window or palette using script UI. The same script works perfect when being run from ExtendScript instead of from the extension. Also, if I just briefly run any script that draws a script UI window (either from ExtendScript or from File->Scripts) then the extension works without any crashes... until next time PS is restarted. Vote for the support ticket here: PS CC2015 (win7) crashes instantly when extension uses script UI - Seems there is a change in what kind of error dialogs are shown. Stdlib.convertToSmartLayer() now results in an error saying "The object 'layer 394 of document 5932' is not currently available". This is caused in Stdlib.wrapLCLayer() when it tries to reselect the layer and it's not available. It can be avoided by using app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO / Rune ... View more

Yep, agree on the willies But then again, most AM code does that to me. Btw, thanks for all your contributions to the scripting community. Much appreciated! ... View more

Hi, this also seems to work, at least in CC 2014. I haven't tested it fully, but it's shorter and doesn't seem to affect content or other text properties. That being said, I still hope Adobe gets a fix out fast for textItem.size var changeTextSize = function(newSize){     var idsetd = charIDToTypeID( "setd" );         var desc23 = new ActionDescriptor();         var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );             var ref6 = new ActionReference();             var idPrpr = charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" );             var idTxtS = charIDToTypeID( "TxtS" );             ref6.putProperty( idPrpr, idTxtS );             var idTxLr = charIDToTypeID( "TxLr" );             var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );             var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );             ref6.putEnumerated( idTxLr, idOrdn, idTrgt );         desc23.putReference( idnull, ref6 );         var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T   " );             var desc24 = new ActionDescriptor();             var idtextOverrideFeatureName = stringIDToTypeID( "textOverrideFeatureName" );             desc24.putInteger( idtextOverrideFeatureName, 808465458 );             var idtypeStyleOperationType = stringIDToTypeID( "typeStyleOperationType" );             desc24.putInteger( idtypeStyleOperationType, 3 );             var idSz = charIDToTypeID( "Sz  " );             var idPxl = charIDToTypeID( "#Pxl" );             desc24.putUnitDouble( idSz, idPxl, newSize );         var idTxtS = charIDToTypeID( "TxtS" );         desc23.putObject( idT, idTxtS, desc24 );     executeAction( idsetd, desc23, DialogModes.NO ); } ...

This issue seems to have sneaked in again in PS 14.2 (Windows 7 64bit). Worked fine in previous versions of PS CC. It's quite a major workflow issue. Most of Photoshop's color selection happens from modal dialogs (even nested dialogs; ie. Layer Style -> Gradient -> Color Picker) and so swatches needs to be scrollable to make sense even when a modal dialog is open. ... View more
