Build Plug-Ins with CS4 SDK under OS X 10.5 SDK with Xcode 3.1.2?

I have existing Photoshop Universal Binary Plug-ins built under OS X 10.4 and the OS X 10.4 SDK, with Xcode 2.1.x & Photoshop CS3 SDK. They are mature and stable.
I am attempting to build these Plug-Ins with the new CS4 SDK under OS X 10.5.6 & 10.5 SDK with Xcode 3.1.2.
They do not build as there is a conflict in PITypes.h with the attempted redefinition of uint32, already defined in the Apple header cssmconfig.h, amongst other problems.
Has anyone built with a similar configuration?
Thank you!

I've had good luck with Snow Leopard 10.6.1, XCode 3.2 and the Photoshop CS4 SDK by changing the build settings like this:
1. Open the Target Info window: Project->Edit Active Target
2. Change Architectures from native to 32-bit Universal (because my native is 64 bit)
3. Make sure Base SDK is 10.4 (you must have that installed of course). If you select 10.5 for some of the Photoshop examples, you get complaints of depreciated APIs.
4. Change C/C++ compiler version to GCC 4.0
In the case of using these steps, there is no need to edit any headers, comment anything out, etc.
Hope that helps!

Where to put optional plug-ins of CS4 in Windows 7?

At last I succeeded to add the optional plug-ins (contactsheet, picture package) into CS-4 on my laptop
with Windows XP. On my PC with Windows 7 I've tried several maps, but could not find the right one to bring back the contactsheet and picture package to Bridge and CS4.
Could someone shed light on this?

Maps are not the same, I've also tried on a Windows Vista 64-bits system. There are 5 locations where Photoshop maps could be found in Vista:
1- C\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64bit)    (empty)
2- C\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\Automate    (contains Web Contact Sheet II, Photomerge UI, Contact Sheet II)
3-C\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-Ins\Automate   (contains Web Contact Sheet II, Photomerge UI, Contact Sheet II, WIA
     Support, HDR Merge, CropPhotosAuto)
4- C\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS4\Plug-Ins\           (contains ContactSheet II, Web Contact Sheet II, Photomerge UI)
5- C\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\32bit Photoshop dlls
From Photoshop>Automate> there is no mentioning of contactsheet
From Bridge>Tools>Photoshop>contactsheet Photoshop opens but shows: "The command "unknown" is not currently available"

Error Messages/Building Plug-ins with Eclipse SDK or VCExpress 2005

Hi,
I am an newbie in building InDesign-Plugins. I have installed the Adobe InDesign Plug-in Editor on my Windows XP PC (InDesign CS3 SDK, Eclipse, JRE 1.5, Visual Studio 2005 (VCExpress Edition for C++)).
I tried to build one of the example Plug-ins with Eclipse. After startting the build process of the "transparencyeffectui"-example or the "DollyXs"-example the following message appears:
Buildfile: F:\SDK\workspace\DollyTest\build.xml
win:
[echo] Now compiling FR file F:\adobe_indesign_cs3_products_sdk_503win\source\sdksamples\dollytest\Dolly.fr for win
[delete] Deleting: F:\SDK\workspace\DollyTest\ODFRC.res
[echo] FR Compilation Complete: Attempting to build C++ files...
BUILD FAILED
F:\SDK\workspace\DollyTest\build.xml:66: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "D:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 5\Common7\IDE\devenv.com": CreateProcess error=2, Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden
Total time: 485 milliseconds
The compiler did't start because the file "devenv.com" is missing in the "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/Common7/IDE"-directory.
The free "Visual Studio Express Edition" is delivered withot this file.
Where can i get this file? Or is it possible to change the exec line in the built-xml-file to get the Compiler started?
So I started the VCExpress-Programm an opened the transparencyeffetui-Project-File to start the build process. But again i got an error message:
1>------ Erstellen gestartet: Projekt: TransparencyEffectUI, Konfiguration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Performing Custom Build Step

1>TransparencyEffectUI - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Erstellen: 0 erfolgreich, Fehler bei 1, 0 aktuell, 0 übersprungen ==========
There is no "windows.h"-file in the SDK directory. I tried to include all available SDK-"inculde"-directories to the VC++ directories in the option menue in VCExpress but i got the same error message.
Any ideas how to get the plug-in build with Eclipse or Visual Studio Express 2005 (C++)?

OK, so first some background:
1) The basic process goes like this:
a) one release doc (edited by the developer, presumably) and the
template docs are copied to the build area
b) Each doc is unzipped (ODT's are just ZIP files) into a subdir
c) The doc contents are copied around; this is to allow Ant to
replace its special @VAR@ variables in the document content
d) The docs are zipped back up into ODTs
e) The ODTs are converted into PDFs using OOo's macro functionality
Here are the troubleshooting steps I would apply:
1) Make sure the external.odt file exists - check the build area
(//content/build/<pluginname>/tmp/) and can be opened using normal
OpenOffice
2) Check that the release.odt file exists (same location) and can be
opened using normal OpenOffice
3) See if you can manually convert the external.odt file into a PDF -
the command we use is simply:
soffice -invisible
macro:///Standard.Collectors.External2PDF(${pkgdir}/tmp/external.odt)
(replace ${pkgdir} with the build directory path).
If all that works, then the Ant build process should work.
Also - what does that OpenOffice error popup say?

Building Plug-Ins under Mountain Lion

Hi Folks,
Has anybody here done plug-in development when running Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)? Lion seems OK, so I'm guessing that ML would be OK too, but.......
Thanks!
-- Jim

Hi Norio,
Thanks for replying!
FWIW, I was able to install Xcode 3.2.6 onto Lion (Mac OS X 10.7), using these instructions from Stack Overflow: <http://tinyurl.com/6xj8cjc>.
I have not had any issues building CS6 plug-ins with Xcode 3.2.6. Basically, I want to use a newer MacBook Pro for development, and I am stuck with using Lion. I can always use my old MBP, but I don't want to have to haul around a couple of MacBook Pros.
On the other hand, I have not tried to install Xcode 3.2.x on Mountain Lion. I'm hoping that upgrading Lion to Mountain Lion will not interfere with my install of Xcode.
Cheers!

How to open Indd file when it shows: missing plug ins in CS4 - Help.

How can I open this Indd file in my CS4 version? It is stating that I am misisng plug ins then it won't open the file. I'm guessing its probably a CS5 version file... Not sure. How do you tell? Anyway, I can I open this thing?
Worst case - How do I upgrade to CS5? Is possible? I can't find anything to upgrade to from CS4. They make it so hard to find.
Thanks for any insight or help!!
Brian

You can identify the version using the script here: Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is from a later version that CS4, it will need to be exported to .idml for something ath can be opened in CS4, but it likely will not look the same.
As far as I know there are no upgrade from CS4 to CS5 or CS5.5 packages avialble through normal resellers, and I'm not certain that CS4 is even eligible for upgrade discount princing for CS6 any longer.

Plug-ins from CS4 to CS5?

Best way to have the plug-ins transferred to CS5 from CS4?

You can actually create a second copy of the application icon to run in 32-bit mode. Just right-click on the application icon, select Copy, then right-click inside the CS5 folder and select Paste. Rename it to "Photoshop CS5 32" or whatever you like, and then hit Cmd-i and check the "Open in 32-bit mode" box. The new application will complain that it's been moved when you launch it - just click "Do Not Update" and it will open in 32-bit mode (you can see the x32 in the splash screen), and all of your old plugins will be available if you copied them over.
I wanted to do this so that, when I don't need 3rd-party plugins (I don't use that many), I can launch in 64-bit mode without having to constantly switch back and forth. It's particularly handy for launching from Lightroom - if I want to do a lens correction that's not in LR yet (and not in PS CS5 until the Camera Raw 6.1 update hits, but that's another story) I can do an "Edit in" that doesn't load plugins and works in 64-bit mode, but when I want to use Viveza, Noiseware, or the Topaz plugins, I can set up a separate "Edit in" pref to launch the 32-bit version.

Tried to Download additional plug-ins for CS4 but having problems.

I just found out that CS4 doesn't have the extract filter, so I went to this link to download additional plug-ins:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4047
I downloaded it, but I'm having trouble installing it. The instructions tell me to "navigate to the application
folder, double-click Setup, and then follow the on-screen instructions" but there's not application folder or Setup. I also tried opening the download, selecting English>Googies>Optional Plug-Ins>Filters>Extractplus.plugin, but it says "cannot complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
I'm at a complete loss here. All I want is the Extract Filter. I've tried 2 different downloads, both to no avail. Please help!

I don't quite follow?
The only document you need to read is the "OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf" in the Goodies/Optional plug-ins folder on your mounted diskimage of your downloaded.
Here you'll find all the instructions on where to put the files.

Problem with plug-ins on CS4

Please help.
Im a teacher at a secondary school, i have a nice shiny MacBook Pro and the full version on Creative Suit CS4 installed. Everything is up to date, and working. BUT. when i try to load the extract tool from Photoshop or use the Photomerge action i get the following message:
"Could not complete the Photomerge command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript plug-in."
I have a DVD resource disc with these filters/action on it, but when i copy them from the disc to the appropriate folder on my HDD it STILL doesnt work.
Please help

Can you delete that user after?
As I'm new to Mac's and not too sure how to do that, but will give it a try.
Could it be down to the installation then? Would removing it and re-installing it help?

Who can write fx builder plug ins?

guys, i think there should be a solution for the lacking DOF in motion. one could write a script plug in, that defines an certain blur on objects, intensity related on their distance to a camera. the mathematical idea is not a hard nut to crack. sadly i am a designer with very very limited coding skills (i can handle some html and css and actionscript, basic stuff).
so is there some guy that can write a script like that? i am sure alot of people here would very much appreciate that!

so you think its a motion problem? certainly there has to be a parameter in motion that defines the distance of the camera to an object (you can see the pixel distance to an object as a value i do believe). like when using the dolly behavior... maybe you are right because you can´t access those values through the script language. if you could, the script would have to have to get the objects defined, the cam position, movement (e.g. the values of a motion path) and relate the differing values over time to the incresing / decreasing intensity of a blur filter onto the objects. am i right or do i think in the wrong direction?

I can't load up Plug Ins

I just downloaded a list of plugins from CycoreFXHD 1.7.... I have a list of plugins in a folder, but whenever I try to open them up in Adobe After Effects CS4... it says "Name of effect".plugin is an unknown file type?
Sorry, I'm completely new at Adobe After Effects

See this page for information on installing and loading plug-ins.
What, exactly, are you doing when you get this error message? (I suspect that you're trying to import them as if they're source footage.)
Are you sure that you got the right versions of the plug-ins for CS4? The 64-bit version only works with CS5, and the 32-bit version only works with CS4.
It seems a little odd that you'd be loading these plug-ins as one of the first things that you'd do if new to After Effects.

Will 32 bits plug-ins for AE CS5 and 64 bits plug-ins for AE CS4 work ?

Hi
I have a couple of queries on plug-ins. Basically they are the same query
a) Will 32 bits plug –ins like Magic Bullet, Twixtor, Trapcodes, Boris etc work proplerly with 64 bits Adobe AE CS5 ?
b) Inversely, will 64 bits versions of plug –ins like Magic Bullet, Twixtor, Trapcodes, Boris etc work proplerly with 32 bits Adobe AE CS4 ?
Both the above on 64 bits computers.
Thanks

No and no.
from "Plug-ins":
"Important: Because After Effects CS5 is a 64-bit application, only 64-bit plug-ins can run in After Effects CS5. Plug-ins created for previous, 32-bit versions of After Effects will not run in After Effects CS5. To inquire about availability of 64-bit versions of plug-ins, contact the plug-in vendor or provider."

Photoshop CS6 Plug-ins not appearing when clicked under extension drop-down menu

I noticed that for some reason, my default extensions that come with photoshop cs6 extended and also custom installed plug-ins won't appear when clicked on. Usually you see a check mark by the plug-in if it is working and is visible on the photoshop layout as a panel. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, which the Kuler extension worked, but only under the workspace that I opened it up for. So for example, I opened it up on Essential workspace, but it wouldn't appear when changed to painting workspace. When I close the panel from the workspace, it won't ever come back up again even when clicked on under the extension drop-down menu on any workspace. This is occuring not just on my desktop, but also on my laptop. Both are not Photoshop CC, but regular Photoshop CS6.
I don't really mess around with the extensions much, but once I found out about the painterswheel plugin, I really wanted to try it out, hence now noticing this extension issue with my plug-in..
All my plug-ins appear on the drop down menu for Windows > Extensions, so it shouldn't be a file placement problem. I have also tried the Adobe troubleshoot for plugins by uninstalling my plug-ins to see if third party plug-ins were the problem, but still my default plug-ins won't even work.

I'm a little confused with what you write. There is a difference between extensions and Plug-ins. Plug-ins are installed using the plug-ins installer and extensions are installed by "Adobe Extension Manager (version)" where version is the Photoshop version and the extension package must be created for that particular Photoshop version. A CS5 package will not work in CS6 etc. Installed extensions will be listed in Photoshop under menu Windows>Extensions>List of them. Plug-in may install in the Filters menu or a place like menu File>Automate>Names. Installed Extensions that you installed should also show in the "Adobe Extension Manager (version)" window. Adobe installed extensions like Kuler and Mini Bridge do not show in the "Adobe Extension Manager (version)" window.

Can I use third paty plug-ins with Photos? If so, how?

Would really like to still use my NIK Software and topaz plug-ins...Am I still able to do this with photos? If so, how?

Thanks leonie...I would much rather pay the $$ for Aperture than use the free Photos program- it's a shame that Aperture development has ceased...not in love at all with Photos yet...maybe in time...

Photoshop CS4 SDK & Mac OS X 10.5 SDK

I have existing Photoshop UB Plug-ins built under OS X 10.4 and the OS X 10.4 SDK, Xcode 2.1.x & Photoshop CS3 SDK. I am attempting to use the new CS4 SDK under OS X 10.5 SDK.
They do not build as there is a conflict in PITypes.h with the attempted redefinition of uint32, already defined in the Apple header cssmconfig.h.
I have seen some threads on this issue but no answers - Does anyone have the solution to this issue?
Thank you!

Comment out the redefinition in the SDK, or try 10.4u Framework as suggested by other posters.

InDesign CS6 SDK under Mountain Lion

Is there a way to setup a plugin development environment under osx 10.8 (mountail lion) ?
So far i did not succeed in installing xcode 3, nor builing the sdk samples using xcode 4. Is there any way i can do this using ML ?
Best Regards, DS

We're building plug-ins for InDesign CS5, CS5.5, and CS6 in Xcode 3.2.6 on Mountain Lion. It all works fine, although getting Xcode set up can be a bit tricky. These links might help:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11778243/xcode-3-2-6-and-mountain-lion
I'll also note that older InDesign SDKs (CS4 and earlier) are problematic under Lion and Mountain Lion because their ODFRC compilers are PowerPC programs:
