Missing Photoshop panels in Configurator

I want to add the Brush Tip Shape and the options that appear below the brushes preview in configurator as configurator doesn't have the option.

I'm moving this post from this forum for photoshop-dot-com (an online portal) to the correct forum for Photoshop pro users like yourselves.

Command-line Compilation of Photoshop Panels

Hello,
I'm attempting to create a Photoshop Panel using the Flex SDK and the mxmlc compiler. I'd really love to avoid Flash Builder. Here is the compilation line and the resulting error:
~/dev/shared/flex/bin/mxmlc --show-actionscript-warnings=true --strict=true -include-libraries=CSXSLibrary-2.0-sdk-3.4.swc -load-config=config.xml gridpanel.mxml

I don't have too much experience with Flex, but I'm guessing the CSXS library is using mx.* components that I haven't linked against.
Here is the config file I'm using. My flex SDK is located at "/Users/justin/dev/shared/flex/", hence the absolute paths in the config file.
Out of desperation, I downloaded Flash Builder to see if I could inspect what compilation command it was running. I had it dump the config file it was generating, and attempted to use it (it looks almost identical) and I ended up with the same error when trying to compile from the command line.
For the sake of completness, I have a super basic MXML file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

</mx:Application>
Have any idea what I might be missing?
- Thanks

I had an HTML Class instantiated on my code, which is part of air framework. Removing it, all works.

PixelBender + Flash in Photoshop panel

Dear all,
I've posted something similar in Configurator forum with no
luck, so here I am with my question: any hint or comment will be
greatly appreciated.
Is it possible for a SWF that contains a PixelBender shader to
be embedded in a Photoshop CS4 panel?
I'd like to exploit some built-in function of Flash (like
blur and other filters) without the need to write custom code, and
build a complex PixelBender shader concatenating several pbj files:
the Photoshop panel should contain only the sliders of course, and
the effect have to be applied to the opened image. The Photoshop
panel developer's guide explains that, for the project to be
working and besides the swf, it's needed a javascript that
communicate with Photoshop through its DOM, and it seems that there
happens all the Photoshop commands. Currently I'm stuck and it
seems to me there's no way to make it works.
Why all this pain? Because it would mean to be able to have
complex shaders in form of sort-of-binary plugin-like easy to use
Photoshop panel; it would open a world of wonders.
Thanks in advance for any comment or thoughts

Hi Davide,
I have to apologize. I misread your first email and
misunderstood what you were trying to achieve. I thought you were
simply asking whether you could use Pixel Bender filters in the
Panels at all (the answer to which I didn't know until I tried it
yesterday). I see now that you are trying to write your own
Photoshop filter with the Panel APIs.
I'm not sure what you want to achieve is possible with the
current Photoshop panel model, and even if it is possible, I don't
think it will be very fast. The Photoshop Panel functionality is to
provide an easy way to add a new workflow UI to Photoshop, but I
don't think it was intended to add new image processing features to
Photoshop. In general, if you are adding any new image processing
to Photoshop, you have to go through the Photoshop Plug-in SDK. I
did look at the documentation for the Panel API. I'm no expert on
Photoshop scripting, but it looks like the exported properties of
the DOM are purely descriptive with little chance to access the
actual data. The only bit of promise is to use the ColorSampler
tool to pull the image data from the foreground window, but that
would be extremely painful and very slow. Even if that did work, I
didn't see any way to actually update the pixels in the document.
That being said, I believe there might be an indirect way to
achieve what you are trying to do. The basic workflow would be:
1. Use Panel API + Javascript to have Photoshop write out the
image to a known location
2. Load the image from the saved location in the SWF
3. Process the image in the SWF
4. Save the resultant image back out to the file
5. Use the Panel API + Javascript to have Photoshop load the
file
I'm not 100% sure that this will work, and it definitely does
have some side effects like leaving an image on disk and opening up
another document in Photoshop for the results. But, I believe it
will do the job. I'll see if I can whip up a tutorial on this if it
works, but since it is not an easy example, it might take some
time.
As I said, I'm definitely no expert on Photoshop scripting,
so I would strongly recommend contacting the
Photoshop
scripting forums to see if there is a way acquire the image
data directly from the DOM. Judging from what the Panel API is
trying to achieve, it's not likely that this is possible or will be
well supported. Trying to track down the pbk versions of the
filters to put into the Pixel Bender Photoshop Plug-in is always an
option.
Again, I apologize for the misunderstanding. My eyes simply
stuck to the question in bold. Good luck with your search.
Thanks,
Brian

Pixel bender filters in Photoshop Panel

Hello,
I'm writing a suite of Photoshop filters with PixelBender and would like to know if there is a way to call them from a Photoshop Panel built with Configurator without embedding these filters in a flash panel.
I tried to build a panel with configurator, but in the filters menu, PIXEL BENDER doesn't show. So, I guess I will have to build a flash panel which is close to Chinese for me (read http://forums.adobe.com/message/37408).
Am I out of luck?
Thanks!
Enrique

Use a 'Run JavaScript' button from ACTIONS/SCRIPTS section of Configurator.
Then use/modify the following code:
try{
var idPbPl = charIDToTypeID( "PbPl" );
    var desc636 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idKnNm = charIDToTypeID( "KnNm" );
    desc636.putString( idKnNm, "Kaleidoscope" ); /*modify the name of your pixel bender filter*/
    var idGpuY = charIDToTypeID( "GpuY" );
    desc636.putBoolean( idGpuY, true );
    var idFPth = charIDToTypeID( "FPth" );
    desc636.putString( idFPth, "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Pixel Bender Files/kaleidoscope.pbk" ) /*modify the path to your filter*/
executeAction( idPbPl, desc636, DialogModes.ALL );
}catch(e){
     /* catch user cancellations */
I have it so the default settings are populated and the Pixel Bender dialog is shown (DialogModes.ALL). You could use the scripting listener plug-in to populate specific settings and/or not show the dialog (DialogModes.NO)

If you're having problems making an extension for Photoshop CS6 with Configurator 3..

I was going to ask for help here, but before posting I decided to try one last experiment to see if it would work. Yesterday I tried making a simple one button panel inside Configurator and exporting it to Photoshop CS6. I put it in the plugins\panels directory. Start Photoshop, nothing... I tried looking at how to create an extension manually and signing it in order to install it with Extension Manager, and my brain nearly melted.
So today I tried installing an older version of Photoshop (CS 5.5). The difference was that I selected Photoshop CS5/CS5.5 in the create new panel dialog in Configurator instead of CS6. Export Panel..It worked! Then I tried the same thing for my install of Photoshop CS6, selecting Photoshop CS5/CS5.5 as before in Configurator's dropdown menu. Success!
I hope this helps anyone who was stuck in the same place as me.

Hmm, okay I just had a problem. I used an swf with a hue strip made in actionscript inside an swf loader in configurator. Tried exporting this to PS CS6's panels folder, and to my surprise it complete broke all of the other extensions in that folder. (ie. Photoshop refused to load any other non-defualt extenstions at all just because one was borked.). Very very stupid. So I went back to PS CS5, everything was working perfectly. Then I closed it and went back to PS CS6, and suddenly my test panel was working again. I have no idea why PS CS5 "fixed" PS CS6, it doesn't make sense really. I think I'll be going back to CS5 to do all my work as CS6 is really buggy about extensions, and I really need a color wheel for painting.

Photoshop CC and Configurator 3.1.1

When creating my own panel in Configurator and exporting it to the 32-bit version and 64-bit version of PS It is only recognized and available in the 32-bit version (Window - Extensions).
I exported to the appropriate folder of the application, so in both cases in their Plugins\Panels location. Hope someone can help...

Thank you for reacting, R_Kelly
Just solved the problem, but it is a less logical solution and I don't understand why it works. Here is what I did:
I had Windows search for "Panels" and saw that there was a folder with that name rather deep in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Locales\en_US\Support Files
For the 64-bit version I have to export to both the Plug-ins folder and the abobe mentioned folder.
Now my panel finally is available in both versions of PS. But I strongly believe that there must be a better solution.
Yes, I also tried starting Configurator as an administrator, the "Load Extension Panels" was checked and I am running Windows 7 x64.

How to script custom Photoshop panel?

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a custom panel button when clicked that runs a custom script. I used Adobe Configurator 4 but the button disappears in the panel when I ran it. I use Photoshop CS5 and Configurator 4 is designed for CS 6 and beyond. So I am gussing that may be the problem.
And I can't find Configurator 2 anymore anywhere online. So, I was wondering whether there is a way to script panel? Or is there other way I can create the custom panel button?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
Thanks,
Frank

yes, I do the same thing that you are looking for. I use a program called PowerPro, and it allows you to place custom buttons all over your desktop, and when pressed, those buttons do whatever you want them to do (run a program, send a keystroke, run a script, etc.) It really is a fantastic program, and is free. And it works excellent with Photoshop. Here's the website:

Debugging a Photoshop panel with FB4

Hello,
I'm trying to get my environment set up to debug a Photoshop panel I'm working, since the include AIR debuggers is apparently no longer supported. I've followed all the steps in the CS5 sdk guide, like setting the PlayerDebugMode to 1, and adding the Contents/debug file to Photoshop.
In the documentation it then says in FB to:
1. Open your project in Flash Builder and select it in the Package Explorer.
2. Choose Run > Debug > Other.
Getting Started with the Adobe Creative Suite SDK Packaging and signing your extension for deployment 19
3. Select Web Application and click New to create a configuration for Web Application.
4. Enter "Debug <extension_name>" in the Name box, and the name of your project in the Project box.
5. Deselect the "Use defaults" option.
6. Replace the values in the Debug, Profile, and Run boxes with about:blank.
7. Click Apply and close the dialog.
In the dialogue that comes up under Run > Debug > Other, there are no such "Debug, Profile, and Run boxes." The only place I can see to enter "about:blank" is under "URL or path to launch." That doesn't really make sense to me, since I'm not trying to launch about:blank.
What should I be doing here?
Also, once all of this is done, Nothing shows up under "Run > Debug > your_debug_config_name" as the guide suggests. I have to go back to "Run > Debug > Other" to select my profile again.

Ha, fantastic! Your post prompted me to go back and look at all the debug flags to see why it wasn't working. I had the debug file in Photoshop and the PlayerDebugMode set in ~/.../com.adobe.CSXS2Preferences.plist but that wasn't working. It occurred to me to check /.../com.adobe.CSXS2Preferences.plist as well, which hadn't been set. When I set that it started working for me.
I'm curious why having it in my ~/ directory didn't activate it. Is that some sort of global only setting, or is it possible I have some kind of problem elsewhere? I've noticed a number of debug related things (like which version of flash player is used) have issues when I try to do them in the user rather than globally.

Icon size in Photoshop panels

Hello,
what's the recommended size for PNG icons (to be used in a Photoshop panel)?
In the CS5 version of the Photoshop Panel Developer's Guide they still uses 50x50px.
I asked to a friend of mine, who looked inside the application resources: she told me that icons are 128x128, 48x48, 32x32, 16x16.
If you measure a screenshot (like the one below), the icon border that appears when you mouse over is around 26x26 pixels.
Is there any official number buried in the documentation?
Thanks in advance,
Davide

This may be coming too late, but as far as I can tell, the panel icons need to be 23x23. If you make it smaller, they'll get scaled up. This info is based on my personal tests (my 21x21 kept scaling up) and digging through the default installed plugins. The Kuler icon is 23x23.

Photoshop panel scrollbars and size

Hi,
If you take a look at some of the included Photoshop panels, like the kuler panel, it has a minimum size you can scale the panel. When you do this with a panel you created in Flex, even with the samples that are included with the developer guide, you can always scale the panel down as much as you want and the panel gets the flesh scrollbars.
How can I make a panel to acts more like the kuler panel and the built in photoshop panels? Is there a way in Flex to tall the photoshop panel what is the minimum size?
Thanks...

Can use but not edit/change old panels in Configurator 3.1

I have Configurator panels I’ve created some time ago (in Configurator 1.0, I think) that I would like to use with CS6 *and* edit with Configurator 3.1. I found a "Panels" folder in my CS5 Plugins folder, copied it to the CS6 Plugins folder, and was able to see and use the panels (Windows > Extensions).
However, I can’t see how to edit/change them. When I try to open a panel from Configurator 3.1 (or 2.0 or 1.0), it demands to look for a file with the ".gpc" extension. The old panel files (that are currently recognized by CS6, thank goodness for that) are stored as “.mxi” (plus other related files/assets in sub folders). I think Configurator is looking for a “project” file, but there are no .gpc files on my drive (other than a couple that were installed in the Configurator 3.1 folder).
This inabaility to open anything other that .gpc files seems to be the case with 1.0 and 2.0 as well.
Am I doing something wrong?
Windows 7 Home Premium

The .gpc file is the source file of a panel created by Configurator. The contents you found in CS5 Plugins folder are exported files. You can open and edit with the source file (with gpc extension) of the panel, and export it to panel files. But you can not generate a gpc source file from exported panel files.
If you have the original gpc file, even created by Configurator 1.0, Configurator 3 can migrate it to gpc file for Configurator 3 to edit or change. If you don't have such file, Configurator 3 can not help you. You need to create the panel again.

Yes, what errors are you getting? Anyway, Cisco already posted on their homesupport site the software to get back to the old firmware or interface. There are instructions, too, on how to do it.

Package and deploy Photoshop presets with Configurator panels ?

Hi,
is there any functionality available in either Configurator or the Extension Manager that might allow me to package and install some Photoshop presets (brushes, shapes, scripts etc) when I create a ZXP file ?.
I work as an educator, and really like the idea that the Panels can be deployed so easily by novice users. It would be particularly useful if I could also add some content to the presets folder at the same time as installing a Panel.
Thanks

An example on how to configure the mxi file for installing your personal items ( as an example i use burshes) :
1-Create a new folder inside the directory :   Adobe Extension Manager/Samples/ and call it Photoshop
2-go to Adobe Extension Manager/Samples/Dreamweaver/
copy the DreamweaverBlank.mxi file, past it in the Photoshop folder you Have created and rename it PhotoshopBlank.mxi
You will keep this file as a template.
3-open the file you renamed with a text editor
make the modifications you see below and save it with a nameyoulike.mxi   (without spaces)
<macromedia-extension
name="name you want"
version="number you want"
The description above will appear in extension manager
type="command">

<author name="your name" />

<products>
<product name="Photoshop" version="version" primary="true" />
</products>
instead of dreamweaver write Photoshop, and change also the version
( for example Photoshop CS4 is version 11.0, CS5 is version 12.0)
That will target photoshop as program where to install your brush

<description>
<![CDATA[
write a description of the presets you are installing, this will appear in Extension Manager.
]]>
</description>

<ui-access>
<![CDATA[
write a description of where the presets you are delivering will be installed in PS.
]]>
</ui-access>

<files>
<file name="Your brushes' name.abr" destination="$presetsfolder/brushes" />
<file name="Your brushes' name2.abr" destination="$presetsfolder/brushes" />
<file name="Your brushes' name3.abr" destination="$presetsfolder/brushes" />
</files>
describe the file that will be packaged and the path destination folder

<configuration-changes>
</configuration-changes>
</macromedia-extension>
4- place your Your brushes' name.abr /Your brushes' name2.abr /Your brushes' name3.abr
near the mxi file you have edited and personalized with the same brushes'name
5- launch Extension Manager CSxx , go to File>Package Extension and go to Adobe Extension Manager/Samples/ Photoshop and choose your nameyoulike.mxi
If you want to target a different folder than Presets where to install your item see attribute in the pdf link
NOTE:
if you want to install your items ( the brushes in this example)   toghether the the installation of your panel you have to edit   the .mxi panel file and adding only the part that " Describe the files that comprise the extension":
<file name="Your brushes' name.abr" destination="$presetsfolder/brushes" />
May be you can now deploy your panel and items immediately and have time to read more in the pdf when you'll have time

Photoshop CC 2014: Panels aus Configurator 3 funktionieren nicht mehr

Ich habe mir für Photoshop ein paar Panels mit den für mich wichtigsten Befehlen erstellt. Das war immer sehr komfortabel mit dem Configurator (zuletzt Version 3) möglich.
Seit Update auf Photoshop CC 2014 funktionieren diese Panels nicht mehr, da Adobe die flashbasierten Panels eingestellt hat.
Wie erstellt man nun Panels, welche z.B. die wichtigen Befehle aus PS enthalten?
Gruß
Thomas
