Extension Development without Extension Builder?

Hey,
Is it possible to do Extension Development without Extension Builder? I'm an indie developer that needs to build a tool within Flash to help an artist that's working with me, as such, I think the partner program is an additional cost that's a bit steep at the moment.
I get the impression that it is possible to use Flex and the Flash builder itself to do so without the additional benefits of Extension Builder. However, I get the impression that this is really a manual process and I'm uncertain as to how documented the process is. Has anyone explored this? Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction would be great.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Hello Jeremy,
yes you can .
A good starting point is the video by Maria Gutierrez in the CS SDK Team blog.
I've been using for some time the SDK only in Flash Builder, so I can assure you it's possible to accomplish the task - nevertheless, since I've got Extension Builder, it's *far* easier to code, test and debug.
By the way, this documentation is good for you even if you don't own Extension Builder.
Happy coding,
Davide

Extension Manager CC Release Notes. Extension Developer SDK broken link.

It seems that the Extension Developer SDK > 'Extension Developer Guide' link points to the old (i.e. CS6) document: “EXTENSION MANAGER CS6 CONFIGURATION REFERENCE TECHNICAL NOTE”. Is there any chance this will be fixed soon?
Thanks,

Thanks for the info,
BTW, Will be the SDK documentation for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign updated as well?

How to make previous version documents(CS1 and CS3) without extension readable in InDesign CS5

I have some previous version documents of CS1 and CS3 on Mac which have been saved without any extension e.g 300, CS3doc etc.
When I open such documents in InDesign CS5 they appear to be unreadable . Only on selecting 'All documents' filter I am able to open those documents.
I want to make all such documents (which are without extension) readable with 'All Readable Documents ' also .
How I can do that, please help me !!!!!

The first thing I'd do is make sure the issue is really what I suspect it is - i.e. I suspect your extension-less documents don't have the proper type and creator.
If you fire up a Terminal window, you should be able to use the GetFileInfo command to check one of the files:
Assume 'sampleFile' is sitting on your desktop, you'd do
GetFileInfo ~/Desktop/sampleFile
(not sure when/whether GetFileInfo is installed on a Mac - I think it used to be part of Apple's developer tools, but on my Snow Leopard it resides in /usr/bin)
Check what it says for 'type' and 'creator'.
If these are not correct, we've confirmed that that's the reason why they don't show up in your file dialog.
If the issue is type/creator related, I can think of the following options:
a) Change your code to accept ANY file type/extension - I suspect this would work (not tested!):
openFileDialog->AddType( '????' );
If memory serves right, '????' should be accepted as a wildcard.
b) correct the file types BEFORE they are viewed in the File Dialog - for example, if these files are in a very specific folder somewhere, you might be able to scan the folder, and correct their type and creator (e.g. iterate through all extensionless files in folder 'xyz' and change their type and creator). A lot depends on how those files get there, and whether they are tied to a specific folder or not - are they 'old' files, or are they being generated in some workflow? If they're all over a user's system or all over a file server, such pre-scanning and cleaning up file types approach will be a no-go.

Edit PHP files without extension

Hi,
I'm currently developing a website with DW CS3 and I'm using
apache's mod_rewrite so I have clean URL's. The thing is that doing
this forces me to rename my php files e.g.
index.php to
index. Is there a way that DW recognizes these files as PHP
files, so I have nice highlighted code?
Greets,
Nick

Hello,
Right clicking and selecting open is exactly the answer to
the question you
asked about how to open files without an extension.
There are many young people and people just learning here, so
all questions
are answered.
How was anyone supposed to know you meant something else, and
that you
already knew the answer was to right click and select open?
You didn't mention DW was giving you errors until after 2
people gave the
answer to the question you asked.
The fact that DW is giving you an error message when you try
to open the
file is something else entirely.
So, if that's your actual question, can you expand on "DW
keeps giving me
errors" and share what the error messages are, so we can try
and help you?
Take care,
Tim

SQL Developer Java Extension possible?

Hello,
I need to parse Oracle SQL queries (to get information about tables used in queries and kind of filtering criteria) for some project.
So, I would like to know if SQL Developer exposes such features in the context of Java extensions.
Moreover, I've read a thread dealing with SQL Devloper java extensions but the sample does exist anymore, are there some docs available somewhere else?
Thanks for your comments.
Regards,
Loïc

Hi,
If you get JDeveloper and download the ESDK (extension SDK), there are a set of sample extensions that you will find helpful in getting up to speed with some of the terms used (commands, actions, the different parts of the IDE, etc) - quite a few of them "just work" with SQL Developer without any fiddling.
It would be nice to have a bit more visibility of the SQL Developer specifics, though...
HTH,

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

Developement Mode extensions are not loaded by Photoshop CC after 14.2 update

I keep my HTML5 extensions in /Users/myaccount/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions.
I do have Debug Mode enabled using cli tool: https://github.com/davidderaedt/CCEXTCLI/blob/master/setdebugmode.sh
In manifest.xml I have "<Host Name="PHXS" Version="[14.1,14.9]" /><Host Name="PHSP" Version="[14.1,14.9]" />"
I do have all required settings in Preferences->Plug-ins enabled (allow extensions/panels/internet connection)
Before 14.2:
Everything was fine, all extensions were loaded without any problems.
14.2:
No extensions are loaded, no errors are reported, it just seems that Photoshop CC does not load any extensions
When I install same extension using .zxp package then Extension Manager installs extension correctly and it is working so its not extension code issue I guess.
My system information:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 14.2 (14.2 20131211.r.515 2013/12/11:23:00:00) x64
Operating System: Mac OS 10.9.1
Is it possible to temporary rollback to 14.1.2?

The problem was that I had nested directory structure of extension like: ".../extensions/extension-folder/something/else/CSXS/manifest.xml" -> I changed directory structure to have ".../extensions/extension-folder/CSXS/manifest.xml" and it solved the issue. Nevertheless Photoshop 14.1.2 was accepting deeply nested directory structure of extension and 14.2 does not. I found also another issue but I will post it in another discussion.
Thanks.

How to use Terminal to Find or Locate files without extensions?

I'm conversant with the cli, but not a power-user. I've discovered a fairly large number of audio files, across dozens of sometimes nested folders, that (somehow) lost their '.aif' extension and now appear as Unix Executable Files. Upon appending said files with the proper extension, they are perfectly normal audio aif's.
My Problem: using the Terminal, how can I search a directory tree to find those files *without* an extension, discriminating between files and folders, and then append the correct extension to only the files?
I've tried a number of queries, mostly built around the idea of using 'filename.*', but for some reason searching for an extension omission (as opposed to a specified string) isn't so simple.
The following: ls -al *.
Brings up 'No such file or directory'
And the following ls -al .*
Brings up files AND directories
I need o discriminate between files and directories, finds all files without extensions, and rename them with the appropriate extension.
Can anyone help?
Best, Tom

The following will find files without a file extension in the current working directory and any sub-directories->
find . -type f ! -name "*.*"
If you are confident that the files found are the appropriate audio file (in this case aif) then you could->
find . -type f ! -name "*.*" -exec mv {} {}.aif \;

Quick Look for files without extensions.

I have many files without extensions that quick look does not recognize as text files. Bash shell scripts generally do not use an extension, for example (they are identified by their first line). Similarly I have a lot of text file notes w/o a ".txt" extensions.
Is there any way to have quick look recognize these as text files? They currently have either text edit or textmate as their default "open with" app. I presume there is a config file of some sort for quick look that will let me default files with no extension to text files, but have not found it yet.

Can't Quick Look for some text files

Transition from my firefox extension to a Flash Builder desktop app

Trying to make a slow transistion from my firefox extension to a Flash Builder desktop app.
Okay i'm not familiar on how to go about this I have js code that lets my app sync it self with the lates build it looks for a new version number which is in a txt file. Inside the txt file I have 0.0.0 so evertime I change the version number to 0.0.1. The app checks for new updates and sees the txt file has a new version number and start to pull in the zip file and extrudes the zip into the directory.
I can't get my head around on how to modify this code ["@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"].getService
to look in the root directory of my Flash Builder app.
function Xcalibur_Sync(){
    document.documentElement.getButton("accept").disabled = true;
    var Cc = Components.classes;
    var Ci = Components.interfaces;
    var url = xcaliburGetUnicharPref("extensions.xcalibur.downloadurl");
    var Step1 = document.getElementById("xcalStep1");
    var Step1done = document.getElementById("xcalStep1Done");
    var Step2 = document.getElementById("xcalStep2");
    var Step2done = document.getElementById("xcalStep2Done");
    var Step3 = document.getElementById("xcalStep3");
    var Step3done = document.getElementById("xcalStep3Done");
    var Step4 = document.getElementById("xcalStep4");
    var Step4done = document.getElementById("xcalStep4Done");
    var xcalSyncDone = document.getElementById("xcalSyncDone");
    var progressMeter = document.getElementById("xcalProgressMeter");
    var progressPct = document.getElementById("xcalProgressPct");
// Get Xcalibur version and location
    var GUID = "[email protected]"
    var gExtensionManager = Cc["@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"].getService(Ci.nsIExtensionManager);
//var currentVersion = gExtensionManager.getItemForID(GUID).version;
    var currentVersion = xcaliburPrefs.getCharPref("extensions.xcalibur.installedversion");
    var xcaliburdir = gExtensionManager.getInstallLocation(GUID).getItemLocation(GUID);
    var file = Cc["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsILocalFile);
    file.initWithPath(xcaliburdir.path);
    //Step 1 - See if an update is available
    Step1.setAttribute("hidden", "false");
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open('GET', url+"CRV.txt", false);
    try{
        req.send(null);
    }catch(e){
        alert("Cannot get update information from "+url+"CRV.txt\n"+e.toString()+"\n\nSync aborted ...");
        window.close();
        return false;
    }//try
    if(req.status == 200){
        var CRV = req.responseText;
Any Ideas?
Thanks,

Have you taken a look at the documentation on updating AIR applications?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff2. html
Or is it something else you wish to do? You can access the directory where your app is installed by looking at File.applicationDirectory and you can hit a URL by using URLRequest.
