Developing CS5 plugin on CS6

I need to develop a plugin for Photoshop CS5 for a Mac. Can this be done on Photoshop CS6 on a Mac?
This is called Forward Compatibility, and I couldn't find information about this in the SDK documentation.
Thank you in advance.

I think those plugins build with the CS6 sdk should run under CS5 without much problems.

Cs5 plugins in cs6

HI
Do all plugins from cs 5 work in CS6? For example, the HOT CAD tools or cvalley tools, astute graphics has a cs6 version for phantasm so we;re good to go there.
any ideas?
thanks

No , CS% plugin may not work in CS6 , it would be better to contact the Plugin Manufacturer.

Can't open CS5.5 in CS6

I got a couple of CS5.5-INDD from a partner. Some of them I can open, some I can't. InDesign CS6 freezes and must be closed. I can reproduce this problem on a Windows 7 64-Bit and a Mac OS X Lion Computers with both InDesign CS6 Creative Cloud.
I asked another colleaugue to open the files in CS5.5 to save them as IDML. She can open the files without problems and create IDMLs. When she sent me those IDML though, I get the same problem as when opening the INDD: InDesign freezes.
I tried several things to get the files (CS5.5 IDML or INDD) opened:
* Reset the preset file
* Deactivate plugins
* Restart the machines
Both installations of CS6 are new and up to date. Is there anyone else having a similar problem with CS5.5 to CS6 incompatibility or any ideas on the topic?
Thanks in advance,

Here is a Sampling
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2886775/Analyse%20von%20%E2%80%9EInDesign%E2%8 0%9C.txt
But we can't get a crash report. Is there any other way then the described one? I can post lines from amt3.log if it helps.
That's odd. What happens when you Send Signal: Abort? Nothing? Does the app close with no crash report? Is this 10.7.3?
amt3.log isn't going to help, it's about licensing.
Did you try using a different user account? Easy to do and solves some problems, sometimes.
With repsect to the sample report, yes, Peter is correct, it appears that ID is invoking the paragraph composer. But that's not really a complete sample report, it's only 24 samples. Did you run Sample from Activity Monitor, or did you just let OSX generate it on its own from the Force Quit dialog?
Still, if there are footnote irregularities, that might be a place to start looking.
Do you have references to another InDesign document in your documents, such as documents placed inside other documents, or cross-references?
You could try installing the CS5.5 free trial and see if that replicates the problem...

What tools should I use to create a UI for an AEGP plugin for CS6 on a Mac

I see that for CC the suggested UI tool is HTML5, but what should be used for developing a plugin that must also run in CS6 on a Mac?

For CS6, you can create panels using ScriptUI, to add a custom panel to the Window menu.
A script like this would be installed here: ..\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\
For ScriptUI, there is some documentation in the JavaScript Tools Guide, accessible from the ExtendScript Toolkit application > Help > JavaScript Tools Guide; and also here - http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/scriptui.html

Problem porting CS5.5 to CS6

Hello
I run into a problem when I try to port a CS5.5 plugin to CS6. I get the following error message:
>C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(108,5): error MSB3073: The command "merge_res.cmd "..\objR\ColormanLite\" ColormanLite & echo Deleting old resources... & del /f /s "C:\Users\Laidback\Documents\Adobe InDesign CS6 Plugin SDK\build\win\objR\ColormanLite\(ColormanLite Resources)\"*.idrc > ..\objR\ColormanLite\prevDeletedResources.txt & xcopy /Q /E "..\objR\ColormanLite\"*.idrc "C:\Users\Laidback\Documents\Adobe InDesign CS6 Plugin SDK\build\win\objR\ColormanLite\(ColormanLite Resources)\" /Y
1>C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(108,5): error MSB3073: :VCEnd" exited with code 4.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem.
Best regards
/ Pontus

Solved the problem:
In the compiler settings under:
General ->Output Directory set: ..\release\SDK\
General ->Intermediate Directory set: .\..\objR\<projectname>\
Compaire with the compiler settings for the samples.

Liquify CS5 opens on CS6!

I use Liquify a lot. I noticed that sometimes the CS6 version of Liquify doesn't open and instead the old CS5 version shows up.
Restarting Photoshop works sometimes but not always...
I have to try 3 or 4 times sometimes...
I have the Additional Plug Ins (from CS5) selected on the preferences. Turning it off seems to invoke the right Liquify, but I've been using CS6 with the additional plugins from the beginning so it is random...
You can clearly see in this screen shot that I have PS CS6 open and then Liquify is the one from CS5...

Please, go remove all the CS5 plugins that you copied to CS6 by mistake.
You should only have third party plugins in the CS6 plugins folder.
And if you have the CS5 plugins folder as the "additional plugins folder" then go turn that preference off ASAP.

Incomplete UAD plugins in CS6

Hi. I am having an issue with my UAD vst plugins not scanning/showing up fully in Audition CS6. Alomst 75% load alphabetically, but the full feature set will not. I have tried rescanning as a system admin, and have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. Previously they loaded with no issue in CS5.5. Any guidance is appreciated.

Hi,
Can you tell me if you are using Windows or Mac? And which version of the operating system?
Are you using UAD 1 or 2 and what version of the UAD software? Can you attach a screen shot of your UAD effects submenu's in both CS5.5 and CS6 so I can compare to the my systems?
We have changed the way we organize effects menu in Audition between CS5.5 and CS6 that might make the effects appear in different sub-menus.
First, we removed the strict channelization requirements, so it is no longer necessary to have the menu's broken into Mono, Stereo, 5.1, 7.1, and Other sub menus. This allows the mono and stereo effects to be listed right next to each other, and will appear different than CS5.5.
Second, we added the Category sub-menu, which will place effects into sub-categories based on type. Example: All compressors will be placed into the Dynamics sub-menu (if the plug-in manufacture added that meta-data to the plug-in). This would cause some effect to be in different locations by default then they were in Audition CS5.5.
Third, we allowed the user to organize the effects menu 5 different ways: None, Vendor, Category, Vendor then Category, and Category then Vendor. This allow you to select how you have your effects organized in the effect menu. Setting this back to the way CS5.5 did it will allow you to more easily see if the effects at truly missing or just in a different sub-menu. The default for CS6 is Category then Vendor. The closest match to CS5.5 is the Vendor selection. This can be found in "Preferences>Effects>Sort Effects Menu By:".
If you find that the plug-ins really are missing and not just in a new sub-menu, can you clear the CS6 prefs, launch and scan again to see if all of the plugins show up?
Thanks,

Developing a plugin using XCode 4

Hi Everyone,
I was recently inspired to develop a plugin for Illustrator CS6 on my Mac. I've run into a few problems though, because apparently I'm trying to build the plugin in an unsupported environment. I'm using OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and XCode 4.4. Now, I realize that Mountain Lion isn't public yet (I'm an Apple developer so I have access to the prerelease stuff), but regardless, I think that the problem is that I don't have the correct SDK for the development. XCode 4.4 only has 10.7 and 10.8 SDKs with it, and I looked for a XCode 3.2.5 download, but it stopped being supported on Lion. If I have to, I can fetch a copy of 10.5 or 10.6 and develop using it, but I would really like to just use my main machine to do the development. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks

Think you can copy SDKs to Developer directory and set default compiller to gcc 4.0 in project settings, for all AI SDK samples.

Captivate CS5.5 and CS6.0 On Same Machine

Transition to 6.0; Run 5.5 and 6.0 Together?
Before converting an existing project (in active development) and to learn CS6.0 while developing in CS5.5, can the two coexist on the same machine (keeping projects separate, of course)?
Win 7 (64)
eLS 2.5
Thank you.

Great that I made you laugh. That has always been the problem with MS, I have to teach different versions of MS Project (in different languages) and I need either as many laptops as versions (budget ????) or have to install several VM's. With Adobe (teach different versions of Photoshop, answering questions about all versions of CP) that has never been a problem, only have to be sure to focus on the right version.

What is the speed/performance comparison between Soundbooth CS5 and Audition CS6?

Obviously, I don't need to be convinced about the difference. However, in demonstrating and working with Audition I didn't take a note of these speed differences. Does anyone have this information for business justification reasons?
I am looking for the speed of a sound file (*.wav, approximately 1-5minutes in length) rendering in Soundbooth CS5 and Audition CS6 as well as a comparison of doing 10 files (approximately 1-5 minutes in length each) in Soundbooth and in Audition CS6 (using batch processing) to *.mp3 with basic processes applied. Basic processes that I am checking are Noise Reduction, Trimming front and end silences, Normalization, and rendering to *.mp3 (from *.wav). If anyone can do this for me, that would be awesome!!

travis_smith_ wrote:
Hello _durin_, yes all those are great arguments that I've already included; however, some people like to use accurate measures/times/processes...they want numbers.
So, do you (or anyone else) happen to know the render engine speed of 1 file in Soundbooth v. 1 file in Audition?
What Durin hasn't perhaps made quite clear is that you'd have to do this on just one machine to come up with any comparisons at all - and if that machine isn't identical to yours, then it's going to be meaningless anyway; some of the processes (like NR) will vary considerably between two different machines, even running the same software. There is no way on earth that this would be an accurate comparison, and I don't think it would convince anybody who actually understood what was at issue. This is the politest way of saying that it's not going to happen... and if Durin, as Audition's Product Owner, isn't prepared to commit himself, then nobody's going to.... BUT:
Now I am moving towards the argumentation that it should replace everyone's Soundbooth, which is why I need the justification. I would run the tests myself over the current set of files, but with the license gone, I cannot.
Your real justification isn't going to be based on anything like dodgy process measurements at all, but this: Soundbooth is discontinued - there's very little, if any, support for it now, and there will be no updates to cope with OS changes, etc. Audition, on the other hand, is a long-term, well-supported software product that's under active development, and this is clearly intended to continue. Also there are business package deals to be done (like active subscriptions, etc) that simply weren't available to Soundbooth users, which companies can use far more flexibly. I think you'll find that arguements like this will cut far more mustard than any odious comparisons of 'speed' will.

Upgrade only Indesign CS5.5 to CS6 (instead of whole Design Premium)

Hi,
is it possible to upgrade only my Indesign CS5.5 to CS6, instead of upgrading my whole Design Premium Suite?
I purchased the indesign-upgrade, but now I can't install it.
thanks!

you should contact adobe support. if anyone can help you upgrade from a suite to an individual producet, then can.
i don't believe they will be able to do that in which case you'll probably need to contact them about a refund.
so, in either case, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

CS5.5 to CS6 free upgrade - Why can't I get a disk?

I have been trying to convince someone in support at Adobe that we would like a hard copy disk of the CS5.5 to CS6 free upgrade, however they keep sending me a link to Creative Cloud even though I have talked to customer support until I am blue in the face that our IT department wants a hard copy to use for my download? We purchased the hard copy of CS5.5. Can I pay the $20 charge for the hard copy?

I purchased 5.5 and am looking to get the complimentary CS6 upgrade. Customer service for some odd reason do not want to discuss how to obrtain a disk. Last time they sent me a link to Creative Cloud ...... for what reason I do not know, except maybe this is where you can download from the internet. Our download is too slow and I need a disk.

How to develop a plugin for 64-bit windows 2008 server?

I have developed a plugin to open local application from web pages, but the plugin could only run on 32-bit windows and 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, it couldn't work on 64-bit windows 2008 server. The plugin was compiled by vs2008 studio on 32-bit windows xp. Any instructions or advices, men of genius? Thanks

Hi Gnittala,
Thanks for your reply.
I debug the javascript code in firebug on windows 8 and found that firefox would be not responding while executing "document.body.append(myPlugin)".
My javascript code is below:
function openLocalApp(cmdPath, cmdLine) {
var npMyPlugin = navigator.mimeTypes["application/mozilla-npruntime-scriptable-plugin"];
if (npMyPlugin) {
var myPlugin = document.createElement("embed");
myPlugin.style.visibility = "hidden";
myPlugin.type = "application/mozilla-npruntime-scriptable-plugin";
myPlugin.width = 0;
myPlugin.height = 0;
document.body.appendChild(myPlugin);
myPlugin.foo(cmdPath, cmdLine);
} else {
alert("Failed to create the plugin!");
And firefox plugin's source code copys from the following link:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/plugin/samples/npruntime/
Just changed a little.
I know the sample is very old, but newer proper sample couldn't be found. So if you can give me a newer sample, I'll appreciate.
Thanks again.
