How do i minimize an indesign extension panel?

i have tried using NativeWindow's minimize method but it seems to just minimize the AIR app frame within the extension panel frame. what i am hoping to achieve is to mimic what happens when the user clicks on the '>>' arrows in the upper corner of the extension panel frame from within the extension... any ideas?

Nope. In windowed view that's just the way it works now. It takes advantage of the new Windows features, such as Taskbar Live Previews.
Note that if you use Tabbed view (opposed to opening new documents in windows) you will find that it does not do this, but that the tabs all remain on the display and you can move through them.
Switching from windowed view to tabbed view takes some getting used to. I was once a die-hard windowed view user, then was forced to use tabbed view for a while to work around a plug-in bug. I found it grew on me. I suggest you try it for a while.

How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.

How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.
It is possible to turn on/off options within the Side Panel by Customization of Groups.
But it seems You cannot influence the way Web Intelligence present (minimized or Off) the Side Panel in the IE??
Is there a solution for this??
If not, it would be a nice property of a Web Intelligence document in a future release.

How Can I Prevent Resizing of a Panel for InDesign?

I have written an Extension panel for InDesign using the CS 5 SDK.
I want to prevent the user from resizing the panel. For example, the Kuler panel does not allow changing the width, or reducing the height to the point that widgets are coverred.
I specified minWidth and minHeight in the <mx:Application> tag, but it just gets ignored.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
mlavie

Well....
I tried that. It indeed prevented resizing. Then I wanted to go back and allow resizing for testing purposes. The problem is that once I specified a min/max for width/height in the manifest file, it "sticks". No matter what I do (remove the min/max from the manifest, changes the min/max values, etc), the min/max which I specify the first time "stick" and can;t be changed. Is this a known bug?

@T. Scheider
For Adobe CC 9.0.x-9.2.x, do I need AEDP access to download native application toolkit to compile the flex hybrid extensions?
Also is native application toolkit different for all versions of Adobe Indesign?

Drawing InDesign objects on a extension panel

hi all,
I'm trying to develop an InDesign extension using the Extension Builder 2.1 – unfortunately I am almost completely new to the whole topic.
I was wondering if it's possible to draw objects, lets say a rectangle or a vector shape from an opened InDesign document to the panel. Actually it doesn't sound like a difficult task but anyway I'm a lost. I would appreciate any hint where to look for that concern.
Thanks for helping!

Hi,
Since you're new to the topic, I would start here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/extensionbuilder3/ (use Extension Builder 3, not 2.1).
Also, read this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/articles/introducing-html5-extensions.html

InDesign - CS Extension panel icons

Hi!
I'm experiencing the very strange issue - the icons for my extension panel are not displayed at all in InDesign - unless I rename them to Kuler's icons:
PP_kulerIcon_R.png & PP_kulerIcon_N.png. If I rename them to, for example, to PP_kulerIcon1_R.png & PP_kulerIcon_N.png - in rollover state instead of my icon, the default "folder with a brick" icon will be displayed (instead of PP_kulerIcon1_R.png).
There's no such problem in Photoshop or Illustrator - in these programs the extension icon is being displayed correctly.
Only in InDesign. I install the extension from Extension Manager and specify icons with
<Icon Type="Normal">./PP_kulerIcon1_N.png</Icon>
<Icon Type="RollOver">./PP_kulerIcon_R.png</Icon>
Is it a bug, or is it a bug in my eyes?
Thank you

Trash your prefs.
It looks to me like icons or changed menu positions do not show until prefs are trashed...

LCDS Session Management using an Extension Panel

We have an app that executes in an extension panel(InDesign) using both amf and rtmp calls. The lcds server then makes rpc calls to an app which returns the data to InDesign. How do you manage the sessions so that each individual user gets their own session per instance of the app. All of the examples I have found are using javascript to call the disconnects etc. Since the app is using an extension panel and not a webpage/browser those examples won't work.

correct session management is configured at the web-app level in web.xml and
weblogic.xml

Extensions Panel greyed out in Photoshop CC on a Mac. Can't open Mini Bridge

I've just (yesterday) joined the Adobe Cloud, with full access to all the Adobe programs.
Opening Photoshop, I also wanted Mini Bridge open but the 'Extensions' item on the 'Window' menu is greyed out and can't be selected.
I've tried opening Bridge first, the Photoshop and vice versa, either way, the problem is the same. I've checked the Photoshop Preferences under 'Plug Ins' and made sure 'Load Extensions Panel' was ticked (which it was originally)
So, basically, no matter what I try, the Extensions Panel seems to remain greyed out.
Can any of you good people come up with the reason why this is happening and how I can solve i please?
Many thanks in advance
Steve

My main plug-in (resize 8) is not yet compatible, and so PS thinks there are no extensions, hence it's greyed out. but it took several days of troubleshooting to find this out.
If your resize 8 plug-in is from onOne then you need to install version 8.5.1 for the plug-ins to be available through extensions. Even before the 8.5.1 update to the suite the resize 8 plug-in was available via the File->Automate... menu item after a re-install of the suite so it detected CC 2014.

Path to the extension panel's directory from ExtendScript .jsx

Hi!
Is there a way to get the path to extension panel's folder from the external (or embedded) .jsx script?
Both $.fileName and "catch( err ) { where = File(err.fileName); }" return the path to "Adobe Photoshop CS5".
Thank you!

I read the original post wrong.
This is the function I use for InDesign scripts:
getScriptsFolder = function() {
    try {
        var script = app.activeScript;
        return new Folder( script.parent.parent );
    } catch(e) {
        // we are running from the ESTK
        var script = File(e.fileName);
        var a = script.absoluteURI.split( "/" );
        var a1 = [];
        for ( var i = 0; i < a.length; i++ ) {
            a1.push( a[ i ] );
            if ( a[ i ] == "Scripts" ) {
                a1.push( a[ i + 1 ] );
                break;
        return new Folder( a1.join( "/" ) );
Running as a script in ID, it'll just return the scripts folder. But, if that line errors, ES error objects contain a reference to the script File.
I don't know if this will work in the context of a CS Extension panel or not, but it's certainly worth a try.

No login available in Business Catalyst extension panel in Dreamweaver CS5.

I am not getting the login form in the Business Catalyst Extension panel in Dreamweaver CS5.
I have added the extension and restarted Dreamweaver, but the panel still shows two buttons: Get Started ( taking me to download the extension) and Learn More ( taking me to a page that does not exist anymore).
Does anyone know how to make the login form appear so that I can get Business Catalyst integrated with Dreamweaver CS5?

Try to restore the Dreamweaver Preferences as given in the link below, and see if that helps

Extension panel greyed out in cc 2014

how do i get the extension panel to work in cc 2014 it is greyed out?

I don't think it's a bug. As mentioned below, for the plugins to work, they need to be updated to work with the new architecture that Adobe is using for the 2014 apps. Many devs have already announced updates are available for their plugins, like Red Giant, and many others on the way. So check with each plugin developer to see if updates are available.
Again, please keep in mind that Adobe haven't specifically said this. But it's documented that plugin developers have had the new architecture specs for at least a few weeks, and have been working on updates because the new versions are NOT COMPATIBLE with the old plugins.

Read return values in CC Extension Panel

I am trying to read some information back to a javascript file in a CC extension panel. I am trying this which according to all the samples and documentation should work.
>> js/host/main.js
var getEnvironment = function(){
    var res = "1234";
    writeLn('returning '+res);
    return res;
>> js/main.js
function onLoaded() {
    var csi = new CSInterface();
    csi.evalScript("getEnvironment()", function(result) {
        console.log(result);
When I load the extension, I can see the line "returning 1234" displayed in the info panel. However the console.log(result) will not print out the value. What am I doing wrong? This is as simple as it gets and I just cant get it to work!
Please help.

This is a common stumbling block in trying to create extensions for AE CC. Contrary to the documentation and common sense, the method you're trying simply won't work. Instead, you have to use custom events and event handlers to pass data around. See my replies in the following thread, especially my last one: How to make an HTML5/CEP panel
TL;DR of it is download this project from GitHub, run it, dissect it, and it will hopefully make more sense. It's intended for Photoshop but it will run just fine in After Effects (you might have to modify the manifest file).

How can I remove a Disabled Extension not compatible with Firefox 4.0.1? I just want to remove it... I don't want to wait for a compatible update. Why can't I remove it?

When I upgraded from 3.XX to 4.0.1, it informed me that 2 extensions were not compatible and it never gave me the option to remove them. Firefox 4.0.1 disabled them and now I'm not able to remove them.
Also they were added by Acrobat Pro X (Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.0) and Nokia Ovi Suite (Firefox Synchronisation Extension 7.3.4.51).
These extensions won't probably be updated unless they update the software that installed them. With this said, How can I remove the disabled extensions? Why it doesn't give me a button to remove them to start with?

I think it's not the problem of compatibility. Extensions installed into Windows registry won't have a remove button ( or it's greyed out ). For these extensions, you can have a look into these keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
If you are under a 64bit OS as I am, you may also try this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
And you may find the registry entries corresponding to the extensions you want to remove. Just export them to a backup.reg, then delete these entries. Firefox will do the rest, but it seems that fx still leaves extensions.rdf untouched. You can also delete the RDF entries corresponding to those extensions inside extensions.rdf
cf: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons#Windows_Registry_extension
BUT the Wow6432Node key wasn't mentioned in the above article
I had to search the registry to find out the entry corresponding to a Fiddler2 extension, then I found the Wow6432Node key. I also saw the Nokia Ovi Suite entry beside the Fiddler2 entry.
Hope it helps.
