Run Scripts of Actions of the Extension Panel

Please forgive my lack of experience with scripting. I'm especially a writer of paste copy - cut.

I have an extension Panel for my users in Photoshop that contains buttons to items of menu and tools. I have also two buttons that run scripts which have been fulfilled Actions scripts. What I've learned, it's that these buttons on the extension Panel do not work if the action of two scripts are not loaded in the action panel.

What I would like to ask you is for scripts to run without having to the load in the Actions Panel. Is what I have in my file hotscript.jsx to one of the Actions below. How would this code does not require scripts to be loaded in the Actions Panel?

function selShade()
{var idPly = charIDToTypeID( "Ply " );
    var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref2 = new ActionReference();
        var idActn = charIDToTypeID( "Actn" );
        ref2.putName( idActn, "Shade" );
        var idASet = charIDToTypeID( "ASet" );
        ref2.putName( idASet, "Shade" );
    desc3.putReference( idnull, ref2 );
executeAction( idPly, desc3, DialogModes.NO );
}

The Second script is the following:

function selCreatepdf()
{var idPly = charIDToTypeID( "Ply " );
    var desc14 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref6 = new ActionReference();
        var idActn = charIDToTypeID( "Actn" );
        ref6.putName( idActn, "Before After Presentation" );
        var idASet = charIDToTypeID( "ASet" );
        ref6.putName( idASet, "Before After PDF" );
    desc14.putReference( idnull, ref6 );
executeAction( idPly, desc14, DialogModes.NO );
}

I hope that this is possible, because it would eliminate my users having responsibility of the Actions in the Actions Panel.

Thanks in advance for your help - Sam

Hi Sam,

I strongly support the advice of Chuck. Your ScriptingListener code should be equivalent to:

function selShade() { app.doAction("Shade", "Shade") }
function selCreatepdf() { app.doAction("Before After Presentation", "Before After PDF") }

in other words, you call Actions loaded into ActionSets - if they are not loaded, your calls fail.

I strongly support the advice of Chuck. If you have done the actions, or in any case if you have stocks yourself, you could automatically convert it into javascript using script xbytor ActionToJavascript.jsx (find xtools download here on SourceForge). Then put the code and just call these functions, no need to have users install actions more (and by the way, your code will be a little more watertight).

Hope this helps,

Davide Barranca

  • Run script .jsx and/or the Actions button in HTML extension?

    Hi all

    I'm quite a novice at things .js, .jsx, and HTML.  I use scripts of JSX one former co-worker created and Photoshop actions for many years.  I looked through and have managed to modify the JSX scripts with a few minor changes, but that's all.  Using the Configurator, I created a custom for use in CS6 Panel.  We are moving finally CC2015 team and I'm the only person in our team who has experience and/or desire to convert compatible with CC 2015 Configurator easily created CS6 bench.  I got all of the HTML developed, interface extension runs within Photoshop and I have the buttons either launch an alert or by creating a new document in Photoshop.  The function of coding was all found code.  Now I need to figure out how to make these buttons work our various actions and some to run our scripts JSX.


    Configurator makes it is easy to select a button and tell it to perform an action or launch an external script file.  Is there an easy way to do this now using actions and JSX files that we have already created?

    And just a reminder, I'm a NEWB, so take it easy on me... if possible. In addition, it is only a sign used internally so I need power to market/sell it.  This is specific to our company of workflow and needs.

    and run the scripts, you put them on the .jsx file, where they will be evaluated, if you used standard mat and then call them by the name of the function

  • Resize the Extension Panel is not Flex at all, simply scales stage layout controls

    Hello

    I have this problem with Extension panels in Fireworks compiled with the Flex 4 SDK. When the Panel is first opened, it has the right dimensions and orders are prepared correctly. If I resize at all, he starts instead of prepare its controls to take advantage of the new space. Appears not to occur when you use mx:Application Flex 3, Flex only 4. Any ideas?

    Before resizing:

    First.PNG

    After resizing:

    after.PNG

    In this case regardless of the container Application control that I use - mx:Application, mx:ApplicationWindow, cs: CSXSWindowedApplication and so on.

    My MXML Application is as follows:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <cs:CSXSWindowedApplication
      xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
      xmlns:cs="com.adobe.csxs.core.*" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
    
      <!-- Setting width & height are the only way I can get it to show properly when first opened. -->
      width="200" height="200" historyManagementEnabled="false" showStatusBar="false">
    
      <s:Button label="Click Me" />
    
    </cs:CSXSWindowedApplication>
    
    

    So they key is apparently to have this as an indicator of the compiler:

    -includes=mx.managers.systemClasses.MarshallingSupport
    

    And in applicationComplete:

    CSInterface.instance.autoThemeColorChange = true;
    

    Also use CSExtension as your base class/component application.

  • How to make the Extension Panel Compateble with first Pro CC

    Hi all

    We use to make our Extension for first pro CS6 Flash builder 4.6 applications and Extension builder 2.0 Panel and they work very well.

    Now we must extend this facility for first pro app CC, we tested these Panel previously in first CC pro about a month ago and it worked very well in the CC of Premiere pro. But now, we have tried to install our extension (.zxp) on different machines which is having the last first Pro CC inside, the Panel shows that one in the CC Adobe Extension Manager installed, but in the Extension menu, we are not able to see our panel.

    Can someone help us with what can be the problem?

    We downloaded Extension builder 2.1 test also but it only an exe file and installed in my machine which did not make any difference.

    Is it possible to do a Panel extension that will work well in first Pro CC using the Flash builder 4.6 and Extension builder 2.0 or should change us our development environment?

    Please suggest.

    Hello

    You may need to adjust you the host Version entry in the:

    Version of the host = "[6.0,7.9]".

    This will ensure that this Panel charge you in all 6.X and 7.X versions first. You can also have the following entry:

    Version of the host = "6.0".

    which means that the Group of experts will be responsible in all versions of creation from 6.0

    I also recommend the suggestion of Hallgrímur use EB 2.1 to ensure that you sign your extension correctly as part of the export process.

    Kind regards

  • How to create and update the thumbnail of each layer on the extension Panel on all actions of the user on the artboard

    But in addition I want to update the thumbnails on each user of the action occurs on the artboard. (just the way that in the standard Layers dialog box).

    From now on, I use imagecapture() API to get the images of work plans and diapers. Please suggest if there is somewhat faster and easier to achieve.

    Any help is very appreciated.

    No doubt, DOCUMENT_CHANGED event raised when activeDocument under tension.

    However, I found below in the script of ai_hostadapter assistance.

    /**

    * Sent when a change occurs in the selected art objects or a modification of the work as to move a point on a path occurs. You cannot distinguish a change in selection of a change in editing work. There is no that means that one or the other. Receive this does not necessarily mean that returned all of the selected objects, as AIMatchingArtSuite::GetSelectedArt(), is different.

    */

    AIEvent.ART_SELECTION_CHANGED = "Selection Art changed notifier";

    I think you can catch the event using kAIArtSelectionChangedNotifier when the content of the document has changed.

  • How can I get shot at horse runs on several chapters in the book panel?

    I was able to get the saddle to work perfectly if I print from one InDesign document by clicking on "print booklet". The problem I have is that I can't make it work through several documents that come from this same book. The position of the pages is correct from the inside of the selected chapter. In other words, it will be the first and the last page number of the chapter on the same page but only within this chapter not the book in its entirety. The saddle stitch should work is to have the first page of the book and the last page of the book on the same piece of paper. How can I get this to work? I was flipping through books and the internet for some time and I can't find the answer to this.

  • Restart the extension on its closing

    Hi all

    I'm doing a plug-in for InDesign that I need that he should continue to run after the user closes the Panel.

    My understanding of the structure of the extension is that it has 4 main parts (only not including plugins)

    (1) the main engine of the CEP

    (2) the manifest.xml

    (3) the HTML and JS engines

    (4) the jsx engine.

    When closing the HTML Panel, associated JS files will stop working, a "com.adobe.csxs.events.WindowVisibilityChanged" event will be fired at the CEP 6.1 but the JS engine will have already launched the bucket before it can receive event RIP.

    The main engine of the CEP and his faithful friend the manifest.xml is still alive and well, but the manifest.xml does not recognize the event 'com.adobe.csxs.events.WindowVisibilityChanged' so that cannot be used in the < started > tag.

    Our poor orphans jsx engine seems totally unaware of the tragedy which became it and continues to send messages to the JS engine deceased who are normally redirected to the sewer.

    The engine of the CEP will pick up messages so if the manifest.xml < started > tag includes certain events such as documentAfterActivate which can trigger the JS engine to get a life, but it doesn't seem to be a way of sending the jsx engine or receive on the fine VINE of the custom events that will revive the JS engine.

    If I could relive the JS engine on a beforeSave event that would be good enough for me.

    In desperation, I might have an idle task, which would be called the prototype of requestOpenExtension but I don't think only that the cans will be the engine of jsx (please, correct me if I'm wrong).

    In short how can I get the extension to continue to operate after that his group is close?

    An important note is that after the Committee has be closed once and then restarted, it will continue to function even after the closure of the Panel.


    How can I do that also after the first closure of the extension Panel should continue to operate as it does after the closures?

    The life cycle of the product is:

    <Lifecycle>
        <AutoVisible>false</AutoVisible>
        <StartOn>
            <Event>applicationActivate</Event>
            <Event>documentAfterActivate</Event>
            <Event>documentAfterSave</Event>
        </StartOn>
    </Lifecycle>

  • Batch of files sorted manually in bridge - I run a PS Action in this manual order?

    For some work that my workflow ideally involves sorting manually the command a lot of RAW files in Bridge (RAW file names are determined by the camera), then using a PS Action of the bridge to convert, save and rename the batch of files. Let me finish with my images sequentially numbered files in manually sorted order.

    However, my PS Action automatically treats the files in ascending order of their RAW file names, and therefore my order assigned manually the files in Bridge is lost.

    Y at - it a script (or other method) that will allow me to perform an action of PS of bridge on a batch of files while maintaining the sorted order manually for the purposes of the numbering sequence of the output renamed files?

    My current workaround is to rename the lot to the bridge a game copied RAW files as an interim step to run my PS Action on the renamed RAW file copies. It is not a bad work around, but if there is an easier way, I would appreciate to know about!
