Photoshop droplet created in CC calls CS6 ?!?

Hi,
I created a droplet in PS CC 2014 but when it is called (from LR), it launches PS CS6, not CC.
What did I miss?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have checked all file associations and everything points to PS CC 2014.
If I launch the droplet from LR while PS CC is already running, the actions are executed in PS CC. But if PS is not running (either CS6 or CC), CS6 seems to have priority. Which I can't explain...
Ooooops! Got it! Big programming bug here!
The following is for power users or people having a developer background.
When a droplet is run, it launches photoshop.exe as an automation server and passes it commands through OLE Automation. Obviously, the automation server is invoked via its ProgID : Photoshop.Application. Other OLE objects are involved and invoked through their own ProgID.
The problem : PS CC and PS CS6 have different implementations of their OLE Automation objects registered under different CLSIDs and implemented in different DLLs. However, they still have the same ProgID (the same alias). I just discovered this by examining the CLSID section of the registry. So the registry contains references to Photoshop OLE/COM objects having the same ProgID but pointing to different implementations registered under different CLSIDs. This is a big programming mistake and demonstrates a deep misunderstanding about how COM/OLE is working.
A droplet created in PS CC should invoke PS CC and a droplet created in CS6 should invoke CS6 by using different ProgIDs. But since all Photoshop OLE/COM objects have the same ProgID, Windows launches the first object that matches that ProgID even if it is not the correct one.
As long as both PS CS6 and PS CC are installed, the problem can't be solved. The only possible fix is to launch the version of PS corresponding to the droplet that you want to use before launching the droplet (or before running the export using that droplet in Lightroom).

Can photoshop actions created in CS2 be imported and used in Photoshop CS6?

I have a slew of actions that I created in Cs2, my previous version of Photoshop. I've upgraded to CS6 and would like to use my previous actions in the new version. Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks!

If you saved the in CS2 in theroy you should be able to load them in newer versions of Photoshop. As far as I know all Action created in CS2 will play in CS3 correctly.
Adode introduced options in CS4 that are not compatible with how Photoshop was designed to run. When these options are set to have Photoshop work the way it worked before the CS4 options. Actions will Play correctly. However if you set these options to change the way Photoshop works some actions will now work correctlr in CS4, CS5 and CS6. It make no difference what version you record those actions in. Recording an action in CS6 doese not mean it will play correctly in CS6. The Action will record the same way in CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS6. Thet will play correctle in CS2, CS3 and they may play correctle in CS4, CS5 and CS6 depending on what options are set.

Photoshop droplet on server?

Hello, I am looking to answer a hypothetical situation: what is the way to get droplets to work in a central network location, so that multiple users from different computers (Perhaps both Windows and Mac) can use some common folders to process files when needed. Let's assume that they only do it a few times during the week, so putting files at the same time into the same place is not a big issue. So, my question is: can Photoshop be installed on a server, and made to run droplet folders, without the need to make a big application using other software?
Then, if it is possible to put a droplet on a server location along with a copy of Photoshop, and it works by processing the files which are dropped in, what if one of the actions calls a script which has an input dialog, or if the Photoshop running on the server produces a modal dialog, who sees it?
The idea is to be able to have Windows or Mac users place files into a central folder, and get the output somewhere else, without having to use a copy of photoshop themselves, or at least without having to open up Photoshop and browsing for a script.
I have tried to look on the internet for some examples, and I found some leads, but they are more oriented towards the web & web-to-print side, so they didn't focus on discussing this part in detail as the topic was just a subset of a larger web-app oriented picture.
Also, I saw imagemagick being suggested as well. However, what I would like to find out is just what happens when a copy of PS processes a droplet on a server, if this is possible.

Ideally I would like to not have to distribute the new droplet, except to one place, so not only desktop employees, but also laptop-wielding freelance employees can conform to company standards when using their photoshop to create our graphics files.
You would need to put the droplet and/or script on a shared file server and each user would need to have a legal install of PS on their laptop/desktop/whatever. This is not an uncommon scenario. If people are going to be unconnected from the file server, you can tweak things so that the script copies the most current version from the server if available and uses what's local if that's not possible.

Saving photos to the web by creating events. Called the destination folder does not exist.

Hello,
I ask you for advice (assistance). A week ago I re-installed the PC and installed to the computer again Photoshop CS5. Everything works for me except for the function of storing images for web by creating events. Called me constantly destination folder does not exist. The problem I had before. I ask you this advice on how to solve this problem.
Thanks for the advice

hi,
i don't know if i integrate your code correctly, but it doens't work for me. I presently create skin for client and this plugin is really usefull for me.
i use win7 64bit home edition, and photoshop cs5
there is how i integrate this :
// EDIT ALEX GRENIER
function getPreferencesFolder() {
     var userData = Folder.userData;
     if (!userData || !userData.exists) {
          userData = Folder("~");
     var folder = new Folder(userData + "/xtools");
     if (!folder.exists) {
          folder.create();
     return folder;
function exportChildren(dupObj, orgObj, dupDocRef, folder) {
if (getCSVersion() >= 10) // CS3 Only
     // Create assets folder in Flex app's directory
     // var tempFolder;
     // tempFolder = new Folder (folder + "/assets/");
     // tempFolder.create();
     // EDIT ALEX GRENIER
     var tempFolder;
     tempFolder = getPreferencesFolder();
i put the code creating the folder in comment and put your code in place, i also put your function before the function creating file.
With the base code (without modification) photoshop is able to create my folder assets, but when it try to export the png, it export nothing, so i have a empty folder.
thank you,
Alex

Photoshop droplets don't work after file.copy();

I wrote a script to backup all of my files in a directory, like this
fileObj = File('~/Desktop/Vendor Swatches.app');
fileObj.copy('~/Desktop/BACKUP/' + fileObj.name);
I noticed that when it copies my Photoshop Droplets, they no longer work. If you look at the attached image, you can see the file before and after copying. The end file is also listed as "Application (Classic)". Does anybody know why this is happening? Or any way to prevent it?
thanks!

I don't use File.copy() myself it creates a 'NEW' file which makes it pretty useless to me. My Retrospect back-ups would be never ending. It looks like form your images you are making a copy across from mounted server? From a personal point of view I would have the system do the copy/moving of files… Here are a few functions that may be of use to you… Copying files/folders you could do this with the shells 'cp' or 'ditto'
Using cp…
#target photoshop
var source = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to Copy from?');
var dest = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to Copy to?');
if (source != null && dest != null) {
     var res = cpFiles(source, dest);
     alert(res);
function cpFiles(sf,df) {
     var comm = 'cp ';
     var optns = '-R ';
     var sPath = "'" + sf.fsName + "/' ";
     var dPath = "'" + df.fsName + "'";
     var sh = comm + optns + sPath + dPath;
     var res = undefined;
     var sh = app.system(sh);
     !sh ? res = true : res = false;
     return res;
And much the same using ditto…
#target photoshop
var source = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to Copy from?');
var dest = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to Copy to?');
if (source != null && dest != null) {
     var res = dittoFiles(source, dest);
     alert(res);
function dittoFiles(sf,df) {
     var comm = 'ditto ';
     var optns = '';
     var sPath = "'" + sf.fsName + "/' ";
     var dPath = "'" + df.fsName + "'";
     var sh = comm + optns + sPath + dPath;
     var res = undefined;
     var sh = app.system(sh);
     !sh ? res = true : res = false;
     return res;
And as you mentioned back-up… here are a few things you could use before/after your process to store/back-up whichever…
ZIP a folder…
#target photoshop
var source = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to create ZIP From?');
if (source != null) {
     var res = makeZIP(source);
     alert(res);
function makeZIP(sf) {
     var comm = '/usr/bin/ditto ';
     // These should be default after 10.4 Tiger?
     var optns = '-c -k -rsrc --keepParent ';
     var sPath = "'" + sf.fsName + "' ";
     var dPath = "'" + sf.fsName + '.zip' + "'";
     var sh = comm + optns + sPath + dPath;
     var res = undefined;
     var sh = app.system(sh);
     !sh ? res = true : res = false;
     return res;
Disk Image a folder…
#target photoshop
var source = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to create Disk Image From?');
if (source != null) {
     var res = makeDiskImage(source);
     alert(res);
function makeDiskImage(sf) {
     var comm = 'hdiutil create ';
     var optns = '-srcfolder ';
     var sPath = "'" + sf.fsName + "' ";
     var dPath = "'" + sf.fsName + '.dmg' + "'";
     var sh = comm + optns + sPath + dPath;
     var res = undefined;
     var sh = app.system(sh);
     !sh ? res = true : res = false;
     return res;
And lastly TAR Archive a folder…
#target photoshop
var source = Folder.selectDialog('Select a Folder to create TAR Archive From?');
if (source != null) {
     var res = makeTAR(source);
     alert(res);
function makeTAR(sf) {
     var comm = '/usr/bin/tar ';
     var optns = 'cjvf ';
     var dPath = "'" + sf.fsName + '.tbz' + "' ";
     var sPath = "'" + sf.fsName + "'";
     var sh = comm + optns + dPath + sPath;
     var res = undefined;
     var sh = app.system(sh);
     !sh ? res = true : res = false;
     return res;
They are for 'mac' and all expect a folder object or two…

Batch processing a PDF file with photoshop droplet

hey, ive been trying and trying to make a photoshop droplet where i can drop a pdf on it and it will apply a "levels" (cmd+L on mac) change to all of the pages and re export it as a pdf.
.....i know how to record actions and create droplets but there are issues with the number of pages of the pdf and the name of the pdf
if you can figure out method for this and share that would be AWESOME!

Which version of Audition are you using? The latest ones allow you to specify where the batched files are saved and also if any Prefix or Postfix are added to the file name. These are all under Export Settings in the Batch Process pane. However you must have the Export box ticked to give you access to the settings.

Hi Gianluigi,
    What you said is correct.At that time my system has some problem with businessone.Now the company object is creating.But the error is showing at
the line of code....
     objServiceCall.setCardCode("C40001");
no mapping found for cardcode...
Is the above send code is correct? or there is another way to approach to create a service call through DI API.
Thanks

How to create a routine call in FM (FI Module)

How to create a routine call in FM (FI Module)

Anu,
I've attached a really short example that does something like what you're talking about. It just compares the user's username and password a pre-determined username and password and then "logs the user in" based on that comparison. Like Greycat said, you probably want to store this username and password info in some sort of file on the PDA that's in an encrypted format for both security and flexibility of your application.
I hope this helps,

I have a new iMac and would like to buy a cheap version of Photoshop to create a simple flyer. If I look on ebay or similar, what version do I require?

I have a new iMac and would like to buy a cheap legal version of Photoshop to create a simple flyer. If I look on ebay or similar, what version do I require?
I understand that Photoshop 5 is not compatible?
I used to use CS5 at work which was very good, doing a little reserach it appears as if this suite has been replaced by a monthly 'cloud' charge which for me as a basic home user is unnecessary.
Appreciate any help.

Hello Simonlala;
Anyone that buys an iMac should not have to buy "cheap". it's like putting "retread tires" on a brand new Farrari! Ugh!
To find a cheap version of PS is to locate an obsolete version only? Software surplus business may have some or check the obituary columns to see if any Photographers or Gaphic Designers have left some things behind?
Some options...enroll in a community college Multimedia class and you will not only have access to Photoshop, you'll have access to much more software for the price of the course. It will also qualify you as a student and you can get a discounted rate on the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as well.
If you are only making "simple flyers" would not MS Word or OpenOffice software do the job for you? There are applications for that purpose and Photoshop is not the only way to skin this cat! Or you can always buy a box of Crayola's and make a pamphlet that way?
And as a bonus, you may learn something from the course you enroll in.
I am a student and subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud...it's reasonable for my purposes for now.

I bought the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book for CS6 by accident and I have CC. I know, stupid mistake. But I can't take return the book. Is is similar enough to CC that I can still get use out of the book? Thank you so much

Each version of Adobe products builds upon the previous ones. Some things like filters and advanced features may evolve or become deprecated over time, but the basic tools have remained pretty much the same for decades. As long as you know there are subtle differences between versions, I think you will still get a great deal of value from C in a B for CS6.
