Performance of dialogs built with CS Extension Builder in Windows XP

Are there any known performance issues with dialogs created with extension builder in Creative Suite applications (specifically InDesign) running on Windows XP? I created a plugin, and whenever the dialogs are loaded on a machine running Windows XP, they consistently take about 9 seconds to load. When I run on Windows 7, they load almost instantly. This happens on machines running the same hardware.

We haven't figured this one out yet, but we have determined that it only happens in InDesign Relase. In Debug, the dialogs appear immediately.

Is update installation possible for inDesign installed Extension built in CS Extension Builder?

Hi
Hope everyone is enjoying.
I have built an extention for Adobe Indesing in CS Extension Builder. I installed the .zxp file using CS Extension Manager. But when I reinstall after updating the extension, Extension Manager shows message
"The extension you are about to install conflicts with the following extions. Do you want to remove the following extensions and continue installation?"
I want to show an "update found" message for this extension instead of the default message.
Can anybody help me doing this?
Best regards
Sal

Hi Sal,
I don't think that's a supported workflow. You might want to think about posting your extension onto Adobe Exchange which can manage updates for you.

I have installed CS extension builder 2 but my project still does not include new libraries. I want to set PNGExportPreference which is available in Extension builder 2 only.
How can I make it include library for PNGExportPreference?
Can anybody help me out?

What information is included in .exe's built with App. Builder? e.g. PC name

I need to build an application (Windows XP executable) in LV 8.5.1 with Application Builder that is anonymous (not traceable).
Apart from the info entered in the Build spec dialog box, what potentially traceable information is contained within the executable?
I am thinking there might be LabView serial number(s), PC name, MAC address, processor serial number?
Thanks
MJC

Why would you think that information would be in there? Those items have nothing to do with an application.
What do you consider (besides what you've listed) to be non-anonymous?

Is there a way to create 'Book Color's with CS Extension Builder?

Dear all
Is there a way to add a spot color with color mode "Book Color" as those from the swatch libary, the PANTONE color book for example.
I see those Book Colors have fixed Lab Values and cannot be changed. So they would be fixed for the user.
Is there a way to do this?
thanks
regards

One thought is to do a pre- or post-build action VI that exports all of the revs (like you see in VI props>>revision) for the discrete VI's in the project . You can set it to increment the rev every time the VI is saved. If the revs are the same you know nothing has changed but if they're different you won't know if the thing that's changed is significant.
Another thought is maybe TortoiseSVN or similar could keep track of what's-changed-and-why for you but I've never use it.
While that would serve the purpose of showing that the source hasn't changed (although I'm not so sure that relying onrev numbers is the best way to go about it - CRC check per file is probably better), it still doesn't gurantee that the build works.
I just think that the whole process probably burns up several thousand dollars worth of unnecessary testing, V&V and paperwork.

Can DW edit sites built with Frontpage extensions

I have to work on a site that was originally created by
someone who used frontpage and frontpage extensions. Im basically
just redesigning the layout our outer shell, and adding all the old
data inside the design.
There are about 20-30 forms in this site that were created
using frontpage extensions.
Is there a way I can edit the forms pages in DW without
messing up the forms or frontpage extensions?
Does DW offer any easy user interface to create forms like
this FP extensions?

> Ive heard that
> conecting via FTP to a frontpage site could also mess up

It doesn't, and couldn't, affect the coding. But it can
'break' the tight
connection between the files on the site and the FP server
extensions, which
would have the immediate effect of breaking the form
processing.
If you must take this job then I think the only "SAFE" way to
do it would be
to use Microsoft's ExpressionWeb product for the project. EW
understands
how to keep the FP Server Extensions healthy, and can
therefore use HTTP
transfers of files rather than FTP transfers.

Illustrator with Adoble extension Builder. Urgent

I'm creating a extension that open links in a web but I've problems to develop it:
-How can I detect when the user open or change the document in illustrator from my javascript?
I supose that I must use addEventListener but I can't do that.
Do you have a list of events that can cacth from js?
- In my case, I use the extension to open some url and the user must login in it before. I use cookies for remember the user but when close Illustrator and open again don't save it. What can I do? It's a bug?
These questions are very important for me becouse is for a great client (about more than 300 licences in a year) here in Spain. He is very interested in illustrator CC but must see then extension in a month for continue the development
I need a solution as soon as posible. If all works fine I'll contact with Adobe in a near future to see the colaboration.
Could you give me some sample or link to source code? I need our help.
Best Regards and tahk you for all.

CS5 Extension Builder and Indesign Server ?

Hello,
Is it possible to write an extension with CS5 Extension Builder for Indesign Server? It works fine with Indesign Desktop for me, but I'm ot sure for the Server version. Spend time to search on the web, without results.Just found this note in "indesign_cs5_server_scripting_guide.pdf" : You can use the ExtendScript Toolkit to create JavaScript scripts explicitly for InDesign Server, or you can use the Creative Suite Extension Builder (CS Extension Builder) to develop CS extensions in ActionScript. CS extensions are Flash-based (SWF) and can potentially work in a variety of Creative Suite applications.
Many thanks in advance,
David

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the answer. This is not good news for us, but again, thanks for the answer.
In few words, we are a leading French software editor (www.perigee.fr). Our software is a database that works with Indesign (using a C++ plugin), and manage pictures, text blocs, tables from PIM & DAM mgt.
We are working on a brand new software suite that will be based on both Indesign and Indesign Server. We intend to develop the Indesign UI in ActionScript and CS5 Extension Builder.
On the model side, we need something that works as well on both platforms. We tested several solutions (C++, Javascript) so far but we came to the conclusion that it would be ideal to use ActionScript.
If there is no solution for AS and Indesign Server, we'll have to mix four programming languages in our solution (Java, C++, ActionScript and some JavaScript). Alternatively we could delay part of our project depending on the availability of AS on Indesign Server.
We really like ActionScript and CS5 Extension Builder, and hopefully a solution to stay on our preferred languages: ActionScript and Java.
We also explored the full Java/Corba option but it is not supported on the non-server side. And, again, we believe that ActionScript is the best solution.
I hope our problem is clearer now.
Do you see anything we may have missed?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
David

Adobe InDesign CC 2014 Custom Panel Built With Extension Builder - Problem: Can't tab from one entry field to the next; Hitting tab instead hides all palettes; Is there a fix? This didn't happen in Adobe Indesign CC

Extension Building with multiple CS versions in mind

Good Morning.
We are currently working on several InDesign projects which must support and continue to support InDesign CS5, CS 5.5, CS6 and CC. We are currently using the Extension Builder Flex based UI's with supporting ExtendScript libraries.
We are compatible with the current versions of CC; but I wonder how long we will be so? Will we need to support 2 UI frameworks in the future or will CC continue to support the Flex based versions of Extension Builder?
Thanks,
pjb

As you might discovered already Adobe thought its the best way to piss off all existing developers and drop the support for flash based extensions as soon as possible. They say at some point mid 2014 most applications wont support extensions built with flash anymore. Photoshop will be the first one, Yehaaa!

Installer built with Application Builder gives error "Cannot install, higher version already installed"

I am having an issue with an installer which I created with the Application Builder. I have a project that I have successfully deployed. Subsequently I created another project (and vi) which is based on a copy of the originals, both with new file names. In the renamed project file, I changed all file names, paths, and all resources, to reflect the new names. I also changed the installer’s destination and install folders, of course. I reset the executable’s version number (in the Build Specification properties) to 1.0 (the original was 1.3). I then successfully built an executable and the application installer. However, when I run the installer (setup.exe), it gives a dialog (after the license screen) that it “Cannot install” because a “higher version already installed”.
I’ve done exactly the same thing with other vi’s and projects of mine, and never had this issue. The installer correctly installs the newly created (and renamed) version where it is told to in the project file. Also, I’ve never had a problem deploying (installing) on my development PC either.
I have carefully checked and rechecked to make sure there is no reference to the original executable or paths. What could be causing this behavior? I want to keep the two projects completely separate, so simply changing the version to higher than 1.3 is not an acceptable solution.
Thanks to anyone in advance for any help and suggestions.
Ed

Yes, LV 8.5 does NOT give me control over the GUID. In the project file there are three such strings:
"App_applicationGUID"
"App_INI_aliasGUID"
"App_INI_GUID"
They all have different numbers and none of them match the GUID or PackageGUID in setup.ini. I don't know if they are related or not, but usually it's not a good idea to mess with (manually edit) files like these (project, ini, etc.) unless you know what you are doing. (For example, I do edit the setup.ini file to change some of the [Dialogs] parameters, but that is based on direction from NI support.)
Anyway, like I said, I've made copies of projects before and never ran into this problem. At least I have a solution, however laborious, in creating a new project file from scratch.
Let me know if anyone has more thoughts on this.

Bought CS Extension Builder 2 - having issues with username/password

I recently purchased a monthly subscription to Adobe CS Extension Builder 2.0 (see below) after my trial version expired. I am using it with Flash Builder 4.6 and SDK 4.6. When I installed the retail version of CS Extension Builder 2.0, and created a new Extension Builder project (or used an old one), it gave me the following error: "Please log in with your Adobe ID to use Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder". I don't see a place where you can log into Adobe or input a password. I looked online and found this forum message: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4793080#4793080, which indicated that there was an issue with the retail version and a fix was soon to follow. I tried to use the software update feature in Flash Builder, but it did not help. Will you please provide me with this fix or advise me on how I can continue to use CS Extension Builder 2.0?
Please help. Thank you.

Hi,
Do you have any of the Creative Suite products installed? If you have, a dialog should pop up where you can enter your Adobe ID.
Thanks,

Photoshop cc 2014 with Extension Builder 3 not working properly.

I can't get even the most basic panel to work in CC 2014. I have created a Default Extension Builder project in eclipse. I then follow this instructions Adobe Extension Builder and Creative Cloud 2014, but when I try to debug it, it doesn't work. The panel shows up (with nothing in it) but says "Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded."
I have created an extension for CC, then changing everything according to the link above, tried to start it in CC 2014 I get the same error, even though it worked in CC.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem or what is causing it?
If not, could anyone provide me with an empty panel project made in Extension Builder that works for you, so that I can maybe figure out what the differences are.
Regards,
Mattias

Having a problem with Flash Builder and Extension Builder - images not apearing on Mac system

Have a panel created in Flash Builder 4.5 with Extension Builder 2.1. Everything is fine when installed on a PC but when installed on a Mac the images in the panel do not show.
Mac and PC both using Adobe Photoshop CC . Both installed from same .ZXP file using Adobe Extension Manager CC.
Any ideas?

No I used relative path - the path is images/image name
example images/cRight.png
tried downloading Extension Builder 2.1 and compiling on Mac but still have same results - images show up fine in design window , but not when running panel in Photoshop
Created a new project: testImage
added an image component to form
answered yes to add asset to project
ran project
image did not show up in Photoshop
went back to project
checked item Embed under Common image properties
ran project and image shows up
Looks like it works if I add @Embed("assets/image name") on Mac to display images
tried in my real project:
Looks like it works if I add @Embed("images/image name") on Mac to display images
When I change this on PC to @Embed("images/image name") images do not show Up
Don't know if I need to create two versions one for Mac one for PC
Don't know how this would affect product on Adobe Exchange
