Different behaviour of a plug in in CS6 and CS5.5

I've noticed a difference in a plugin behaviour in CS6 and CS5.5.
In a SequenceSetup function the following call generates a PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK in CS6 with the PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC state of extra parameter. The same PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK appears later in a plugin work and doesn't work properly in CS6. Though in CS5.5 there is no problem with this function, it doesn't generate any weird events.
suites.ParamUtilsSuite1()->PF_GetCurrentState(in_data->effect_ref, &seqData->curSessionParamState); (code for CS5.5)
suites.ParamUtilsSuite3()->PF_GetCurrentState(in_data->effect_ref,PF_P aramIndex_CHECK_ALL, NULL, NULL, &seqData->curSessionParamState); (updated code for CS6, in respect that the signature of PF_GetCurrentState has changed)
I work in Windows 7, x64. CS6 is 11.0.0.378 version, CS5.5 is 10.5.0.253 version. The only change between these two version of the plug in is the PF_GetCurrentState signature. So I suppose that the problem is inside a new SDK. But I have no guess where it may be.. Do you have any idea what might have changed in CS6 to provide such an error?

Hi Niakris,
Thanks very much for closing the loop and reporting back what worked for you.  As to why there is a difference between CS5.5 and CS6, one of the engineers here explains:
"I assume the behavior change is due to me making code in certain libraries thread-safe, and explicitly disallowing the execution of certain callbacks on anything other than the main thread. If it worked before CS6, it worked by accident, and was very unsafe to do."
Glad to have you testing compatibility with CS6!
Cheers,
Zac

    Are you developing a plug-in?
    I'd go to the Adobe AE SDK forum and ask there.
    If those are error messages from applying an effect or running a script, what are you doing to generate the error?

  • Running both CS6 and CS5 bridge

    I'm running CS5 bridge but using CS6 tools from the cloud tools.  I keep CS5 on board because CS6 Bridge is really useless for getting any work done.  I face major pauses when I try to use any of the menu buttons or try to right click on anything.  Usually at least 5 seconds.
    So I just use CS5 which is very quick to respond to those kind of clicks.
    I'm seeing one problem that is apparently related to having both versions:
    In CS6 Bridge:
    When I set Edit/Camera Raw preferences/ Camera Raw Cache/ Select location
    It also sets the same place for CS5 Bridge.  And Vise versa if I set it from CS5 it changes CS6 as well.
    Somewhere they must be using the same configuration file.  Just at a guess I'd say that is not supposed to happen.
    Can someone who knows more about the internal workings give me some advice about keeping  the different versions from sharing settings?

    Curt Y wrote:
    CS6 and CS5 Bridge use different cache database.  So same location, different file.
    By the way I pretty much do he same thing.  Even though CS6 Bridge is now 64 bit, it has too many pauses to do its job.  Most are related to building cache.
    Yup, its way to aggravating and time wasting to try to use CS6. In my case, running CS5, the one draw back is that I don't have access to the PS CS6 batch processor, so if I have need of that, I have to put up with CS6 long enough to get that done.  Forutnately I don't use it all that often.. at least the recent projects I've undertaken have not necessitated it more than a few times.
    Are you able to access the PS CS6 image processor from Bridge CS5? (Tools/photoshop/ And here you see several batching sort of tools including the Image Processor).  For me; when running CS5 the Tools menu does not have a "photoshop" entry at all.
    I'm sort of jumping to a new topic here and hope you don't mind.  I wondered if you might have developed a numbered list of things one should try when having the stalling problem some users are seeing with CS6 bridge.  I would like to take one more systematic stab at getting a usable installation of CS6 bridge before resorting to the long and usually painful process of getting help from adobe.
    It would really be handy if someone with your grasp of this tool could codify and distill down a step by step list of things to try to get CS6 bridge working better.
    Your respones to me and to at least one other poster I've noticed (I'm sure there have been more) contain lots of different things to try but with my shortage of experience with this kind of troubleshooting I'm not sure what order to attempt things in.

  • L.G. Schneider and others: About CS6 and CS5.5

    I am well behind the curve and ashamed. Be that as it may, I remain on OS10.6.8. AICS5.5 has performed well for me, and being the risk-averse coward that I am, I've stuck with what has worked. On a lark, today I downloaded AICS6, haunted all the while by memories of posts here about folks returning to 5.5 because of 6's (and then CC's) problems and insufficiencies.
    Pattern maker and gradients  on a stroke in CS6 are pleasing additions. I'm sure I'll find others. But can I trouble you for a brief overview of the deficiencies and setbacks in CS6 relative to 5.5? It would be helpful as I try to navigate from ancient software history to slightly less ancient software history.

    Always value hearing from you, Monika.
    I see the significant differences between the tracing features in CS5 and CS6. And now that you mention it, I recall some folks reporting some aspects of the CS6 version being better, some worse. But no GLITCHES in the newer version that I recall.
    And yes, the potential Pantone problem is easily remedied.
    Not to beat a dead horse, but I thought there had been reports of some bona fide DEFICIENCIES and BUGS in CS6 and maybe a few useful features that had been REMOVED from prior versions or that are PERFORMING LESS WELL. For example, one that I recall is that you can no longer select multiple layers in the Layers Panel by option-dragging through them (a pity).
    Oh well. I'd posted the question looking for other such changes to be aware of (I know it's been a while since CS6 was "the version").

  • Different behaviour on servlet w/o servlet-mapping and init parameters

    I was playing around and found, that the init-parameter of a servlet is always null if there is no servlet mapping. I did not define a servlet mapping because I used the servlet only for for (named) dispatching (client usage should not be allowed).
    web.xml:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
    http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4">
      <servlet>
        <servlet-name>InitParamServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>test.InitParamServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>param1</param-name>
          <param-value>value1</param-value>
        </init-param>
      </servlet>
      <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>InitParamServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.initparam</url-pattern>
      </servlet-mapping>
    </web-app>
    InitParamServlet.java:
    package test;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
    public class InitParamServlet extends HttpServlet{
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
      protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
          throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
        pw.write(getServletName());
        pw.write(": param1=" + getInitParameter("param1"));
    }The URL http://localhost:8080/xxx/servlet/test.InitParamServletreturns org.apache.catalina.INVOKER.test.InitParamServlet: param1=null
    (on Tomcat), and the call to the same servlet with URL http://localhost:8080/xxx/test.initparamreturns InitParamServlet: param1=value1 instead (the correct init parameter value)!
    The same happens with jetty. This looks strange for me; I would expect the same behaviour for the servlet (independent from servlet-mapping-tag in the web.xml).

    When you call the url
    http://localhost:8080/xxx/servlet/test.InitParamServlet
    you are actually calling the invoker servlet that is defined in the default conf/web.xml. If you look at this web.xml file you will see that the invoker is mapped with the pattern "/servlet/*" which maps to the above url. The request goes to this servlet which parses the url and then calls the InitParamServlet class.
    When you call the url
    http://localhost:8080/xxx/test.initparam
    you are matching the url pattern you defined in the WEB-INF/web.xml file ("*.initparam"). This time the request goes to servlet instance that you defines in the servlet naming tags as "InitParamServlet" and since you defined init params they are populated.
    Note that these urls will also match the "*.initparam" pattern
    http://localhost:8080/xxx/XXXXX.initparam
    http://localhost:8080/xxx/badpackage.initparam
    http://localhost:8080/xxx/A.initparam
    Most people would have simplely defined the second servlet mapping as "initparam" and accessed the servlet with the url
    http://localhost:8080/xxx/initparam

  • Annoying mouse issues of cs6 and cs5.5 on mountain lion

    Hi everyone,
    a couple month ago, a mac pro bought, which has mountain lion. i installed cs5.5 and for a while i have started to fight with mouse issues. illustrator, indesing and photoshop, all of them has mouse lag. photoshop has also freezing when i use stamp tool, and zooming in addition. if the screen moves (when i zoom or move the work to any direction of the window or use the tool which makes the screen move), it freeze and mouse pointer starts to spininnig. sometimes it comes back for a while, sometimes not. and then noticed that, forexample zooming or stamping, if i move mouse over the window, it completes the new view and everything is back normal.
    but i can't use stamp tool as normal. it can't work fast and freezes mostly. the mouse lag occurs randomly; not only photoshop, but also indesign and illustrator. i looked at the consol messages and found this:
    1/23/13 2:41:55.108 PM WindowServer[203]: _CGXGetWindowOrderingGroup: Operation on a window 0x69 requiring rights 0x5 by caller Photoshop
    i googled it and can't found anything. when it freezes on photoshop, consol writes this message. screen never freezes indesign and illustrator. so, there is no messages. only mouse lag occurs on them.
    i try to use different combination on photoshop's graphics processor settings. but it doesn't work. now i use photoshop by making the graphic processor off.
    after that i installed cs6. but for a while, i met the same problems. i reset the photoshop, erased the preferences files. but it didn't work. after disabling graphic processor, i haven't met the freezing, but mouse issues continue in photoshop, illustrator and indesign.
    if you  need more info, just ask me.
    thank you all.

    hi,
    thanks for your answer. i don't know if it's a driver problem, or not. computer came with wireless apple magic mouse. today, i tried the old mac mouse (the ones without wheel). the same result.
    if it worked, i wouldn't use this solution. because i do not have to use old mouse. we have met those problems in windows. i NEVER change any hardware for the problems in mac osx. i LOVE apple and its products, but if it worked, there is no different windows.
    so, i don't know where is  the problem, either in macosx or in adobe products. but i'm really tired of this..
    i guess this problem because of the video card: ati hd 5700. their website has not any driver for this card suit for mac os.
    appreciate any help..  

  • InDesign CS6 and CS5.5 Export to Interactive PDF

    Hi Guys,
    I am having this huge problem when I tried to export 124 pages including links, buttons (show/hide) and video (mp4) to interactive PDF. However when I tried to use CS5.5 to export, it stops at page 98 and prompts an error that say cannot be exported. In CS6, it managed to pass the page 98 but hangs at page 123 till I got to force quit it.
    I am able to export in pieces but not as a whole and I believe that it could be a memory or ram issue which is beyond my control.
    This is the first time I have encountered this issue. Anyone have solutions for this?
    Mark Plunkett

    I manage to combine them in Acrobat X and the links worked, I was happy but for a while. When I tried to save the combined PDF, same thing happened, it just keeps optimizing running at 100.3% of the resources. What I have noticed using my Activity Monitor in Mac is that InDesign renders it using 1GB or Ram while Acrobat only uses 380MB of Ram when I have 8GB of ram available in my Mac. More the reason why InDesign should have gone into 64-bit in CS6, but was dissapointed it did not.
    I found the cause of the rendering issue, it is not so much about the vector or image size (it does play a part though), it is because I was using too much Show / Hide functions in the Buttons Panel. There seem to be a limit to how much you can use and on how many pages you can have them. I was doing a "Drop down menu" in the PDF with this particular function, each page have about 40 Show/Hide buttons, and there is a total of 124 pages. That is what caused it not to export out successfully, when I removed the buttons, it worked after waiting for 40 minutes of exporting the file, not very happy it took so long, however it got exported.
    I think that both Acrobat and InDesign developers should start looking into able to use Scratch Disk or let the users optimize more Ram to the usage of the software.
    Forgot to mention that this only worked in CS6, not even close in CS5.5

  • Chinese Characters in CS6 and CS5

    When pasting Chinese characters into cs6  some of them show up fine and others show up as a box, this is the same in cs5 also,  wondering if anyone knows what I need to do to get all the characters to show up, I have installed the east asian language pack for windows. here is the text I am pasting:
    警告
    设备
    自动启动 –
    能够导致
    严重伤害
    请远离

    Almost always if you get a box/square when pasting characters, what you're seeing is the "unknown character" symbol.  Basically, the font you've selected does not contain the character you're looking for.  As a result, you're getting a symbol to notify you of this fact.  While this problem happens in Chinese and Japanese (kanji), it will also come up with Korean, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian (Cyrillic), and sometimes even Greek or with certain Eastern European characters.  Your best bet is to choose a Pro font and make sure that you have the same font face selected in both applications.
    Hope that helps,
    David

  • Started getting this error msg when selecting photomerge or merge hdr in CS6 and CS5

    Not sure what this is due to, but did reinstall CS6 with no change.  Previously these functions worked fine.  Does not have anything to do with the files to be merged since the program does not ever get to the point of requesting file names.  This is on a win 7 system with 16 GB ram.
    Barry

    Have you tried a preference reset? Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

  • Can't uninstall CS6 and CS5 isn't working either.

    I downloaded the Web and Design CS6 without realizing that my computer doesn't have the minimum requirements.  I need to uninstall the programs, but none of them will even launch, including the uninstaller, because my computer can't support them. 
    I'm also trying to get Photoshop CS5 to work, Dreamweaver CS5 works - but the program isn't booting properly.  When I look at the task manager, I see the Photoshop process start and get up to about 10,500 K and then it disappears.
    I'm using Windows Vista and my screen resolution is 1366 by 768. 
    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Jeff

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, then manualyl trash al lthe files and folders. And if CS6 doesn't run, it's unlikely CS5 will, either.

  • InDesign CS6 and CS5.5

    Can an Indesign file built in CS6 be opened in CS5.5?
    Thanks

    No. It would need to be converted to IDML in CS6 or later and that can be opened in CS5.5 with the 7.5.3 update installed.

  • What is the pricing for Illustrator CS6 and CS5 for creative cloud and also outright purchase

    I'm wanting to purchase Illustrator CS6 or prior versions either through creative cloud or outright purchase. I haven't been able to find prices other than for Illustrator CC.
    Thanks for your help!

    Okay thanks. It wouldn't make sense since it costs the same per month for CC though, right?
    Also, could you tell me why it is that when I click the below link (free CC trial) it launches nothing but the screen below.

  • InDesign CS6 and CS5 tools are incomplete

    Hello all,
    Why is Configurator 3.1 missing so many InDesign tools?
    Content Collector tools are missing.
    And especially missing are the Stroke/Fill activation buttons; the Default Fill/Stroke buttons; the Swap Fill/Stroke buttons; the Formatting Affects Container/Text buttons; the Apply Color/Gradient/None buttons; the Normal/Bleed buttons.
    These main omissions make it impossible to make a custom tool panel using Configurator 3.1.
    Or is there a way?
    Best to you,
    Mike Witherell in Maryland

    In Configurator 3.1.1, the Content Collector tools were added.
    Still, there is no Stroke/Fill/Default/Swap/Formatting Affects Container/Text; no Apply Color/Gradient?None; nor any Normal View / Bleed view buttons.
    Is there a way around these limitations?
    Best,
    Mike Witherell in Maryland

  • Photoshop CS6 and Mountain Lion

    I have 2011 Macbook pro with Mtn Lion. Put on PS CS6 and have pixelation and freezing, and I have to force quit.  Also cannot see all my 3rd Party plugins. I contacted Adobe (not easy) and they said problems are all due to plugins and thats all they say.  No trouble shooting...no nothing. (Plugin manufacturer won't help me either). Apple can't help.  I have $3000 computer that is useless.
    1.  Do I sell computer or wait hoping Apple or Adobe will get this together?
    2. Other choice is install WIndows 7 on boot camp and run Paint Shop Pro.  However I doubt any of the old plugins will work on the 64 bit.  What if I install 32 bit WIndows 7? Will old plugins work?
    I need help, this is frustrating to no end.

    It seems to me that many of the 3rd party plugins are older and I suppose they are 32 bit.
    Easiest way to tell is to check your filters list. If you know the filters are installed correctly (in Photoshop's Plug-ins folder) and they don't show up in the list while running PS, they're 32 bit, or possibly even 16 bit depending on how old they are.
    So I cannot use either PS program successfully. Is there no fix even for  PS4?
    I presume you mean PS CS4 and not literally version 4? Adobe officially supports CS6 and CS5.5 in Mountain Lion. CS4 is Intel native as a Universal app, but I haven't tried it in ML, so don't know how well it works.
    Regarding reinstalling Mtn Lion, I could try that but the problem only occurs in Photoshop so do you think that could be the cause?
    Hard to say. As an example, I tried installing the CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 Master Collections in Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. I did this in all combinations, erasing the test drive each time so there were no leftovers from other installs. Each install had all updates installed. In each case, desktop icons were broken such that not all files saved from PS would produce an icon. Two other much larger problems is that saving files would at times either give the error that I didn't have permission to save a file, or it would say .afpdeleted could not be save. In either case, the file being saved would be deleted! You had to do a Save As again immediately before closing the image in PS to save it.
    The point of this is that reinstalling the OS after installing the Adobe software fixed all of these issues every single time. So while it may seem illogical, reinstalling the OS might fix the problem.
