Photoshop Plug-In directory localized names

Hello,
I want to build an installer that automatically finds the right destination directory for a plug-in. The only problem I have is that Adobe uses localized names for the "Plug-Ins" directory as well as its subdirectories (esp. "Import/Export" in my case).
Is there some official documentation on what these names are for the different languages (in versions CS2 and later). I couldn't find such a document online or in the SDK, but this surely must be available somewhere.
Thanks.

One other thought: the idea of an automatic installer which makes this
decision alarms me. It's very useful to pick a default before
presenting the user with a choice, but to just go ahead is surely
wrong.
I have seen plug-in installers that do this. The problem is that they
do not accommodate the case where you have more than one copy/version
of Photoshop installed. Where the installation is complex (more than
copying a file) it can make it difficult or impossible to use the
plug-in with those other installations.
How about
* Find the default Photoshop folder
* Put up a folder chooser window inviting people to choose their
plug-ins folder
* Normally this is just one folder within this Photoshop folder, but
people with more than one installation can choose
* If you can't find Photoshop, skip straight in at the prompt (with a
suitable message, as not everyone really understands system
requirements)

Pixel Bender Photoshop Plug In - Display Name

Well, I defined a Parameter in a Graph this way:

 <parameter type = "float" name = "Radius" >
 <metadata name = "defaultValue" type = "float" value = "2.0"/>
 <metadata name = "maxValue" type = "float" value = "8.0" />
 <metadata name = "minValue" type = "float" value = "1.0" />
 <metadata name = "displayName" value = "Blur Radius" />
 </parameter>
I used the "displayName" metadata so Photoshop will display a more understandable Parameter name.
However, Photoshop won't display the name in this Metadata. It displays the Parameter name which limited (No Spaces etc...).
How can I display one name in the Slider under Photoshop and another name for the variable name within the Graph?
Thanks.

Can't create a directory local in solaris

In solaris 10 intel version, i tried to create folder name "local" under "usr" as I want to install mysql under "usr\local".
But when i created, the error message is showing like this:
:/usr>mkdir local
mkdir: Failed to make directory "local"; Read-only file system
any idea?
How to fix and please help me.
Thanks.

As Robert said, the /usr file system is mounted as a loopback in the non-global zone, so any subdirectories to /usr will be mounted via loopback in the zone, and thus read-only. Check man zonecfg, Sun also has a long document online concerning containers and zones. Just google "zfs administration guide" and "zfs containers". Your other option is create the zone as a whole root zone, rather than a sparse root zone, which is what you have now.

When installing, get "Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory"

Began having problems when opening Firefox and trying to make Firefox the default browser. Windows 7 updated, AVG up-to-date and virus scans clean, MalwareBytes up-to-date and scans clean. Troubleshooting finally caused me to uninstall and try for clean install ... normal Windows 7 uninstall process successful. Made sure Firefox folder in "Program Files" was deleted. Downloaded "DownloadApp_1_7_5_198_Setup" (29,442 KB) from Mozilla website and run ... get "Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory. Please try again later."

Thank you guig2! Followed your bleepingcomputer.com link above and found the problem was my permissions on C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Local/Temp. It was not "Full Control" for my User or Administrator. Updated the two lines to permit full control for folder, subfolder and files. Ran perfect.

Active Directory Domain Name Convention

Hi All
I'm creating a brand new domain for a new company I have just started at. We currently use Office 365 so sharepoint and Exchange are both in the cloud and our website is also outsourced.
I am now rolling out our first DC on Windows 2012 Server and I'm find conflicting reports on what naming convention I should use for AD with use with hosted exchange.
Most seem to point at using a subdomain of our main site, like corp.mydomain.com whereas I come from a background using Server 2003 where its always been mydomain.local
Can anyone advise me on this one and are there any additional thoughts around implementing with an existing Office 365 setup?

It seems that mydomain.local is recommended less often (if not discouraged) because certificates from a third-party CA will no longer accept internal domain names, like mydomain.local, in the near future.
Some links on this subject:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/a460ee18-e674-4c14-b4e8-33afd9ddb2a0/change-local-to-com-to-resolve-ssl-certificate-mismatch?forum=exchange2010
http://www.digicert.com/internal-names.htm
http://exchangeserverpro.com/ssl-requirements-for-exchange-when-certificate-authorities-wont-issue-certificate/
In any case Office 365 will not interact with internal names. If you use such a name currently, you'd have to configure a UPN suffix allowing users to connect with the external name. This link might
explain it better:
http://www.messageops.com/documentation/office-365-documentation/active-directory-federation-services-design-planning-for-office-365
In particular:
"It is common for organizations to use one domain name internally and a different domain name externally. A best practice was to have your internal Active Directory domain name have a .local or a .corp suffix. With Office 365, the UPN suffix must match
your external domain name which you have registered and verified within Office 365. In these types of situations it is necessary to add a UPN (User Principle Name) suffix to the Active Directory."
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

Error messages after alternate plug-ins directory chosen

After my initial install of the CS6 beta, which went quickly and flawlessly (I have learned to turn off my virus protection during install due to previous problems with installs of older versions of PS) I went to preferences and chose my CS5 plug-ins directory.
After that was done I got a series of 3 error messages which, after closing them, did NOT prevent CS6 from opening eventually.
I would like to know what I can do to get rid of those error messages.
I've posted screen grabs here: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/isabel95/7009088577/in/photostream> Click on "newer" to see the following two error messages.

you should not do that.

Plug-in Compatibility
In general:
3rd Party plug-ins that are compatible in Photoshop CS5 should be compatible in Photoshop CS6
Adobe provided plug-ins, and additional plug-ins, for CS5 are not compatible in Photoshop CS6 Photoshop CS5 Optional Plug-Ins (Mac/Win)
TWAIN plug-in | Photoshop CS4, CS5
OpenEXR Alpha plug-in | Photoshop CS5 Extended
Do:
Check the plug-in manufacturer's website for the latest version of your plug-in
Use the manufacturer's plug-in installer to install their plug-ins
Don't:
Do not point Photoshop CS6's "Additional Plug-ins" preference (Preferences>Plug-Ins...) at a previous version of Photoshop's 'Plug-Ins' folder.
Do not manually drag plug-ins from a previous version of Photoshop's plug-ins folder to Photoshop CS6's 'Plug-Ins' folder

Target Directory & File Name parameters in Receiver File Adapter with ASMA

Hi Experts..
I have the following question....
What am I suppose to inform in the Target Directory & File Name obligatory parameters in Receiver File Adapter if I am using ASMA to fill it? Is it any dummy value?
Also, if you have any step by step guide/blog to forward on how to use ASMA in file adapter I will be greatful.
Thanks in advance,
Daniela

You can give any dummy value in dir and file name... Just go through these blogs

Local name change on network

Hi everybody.
We have a lot of macbooks with OS mavericks registered to our domain system. Every time we change kind of network (wifi, cable) , a new local name is assigned to our MacBooks.
We tried to modify the file /etc/hostconfig adding "HOSTNAME=-ComputerName- but it doesn't work.
We tried to assign the name through terminal command " scutil --set Hostname..." but it doesn't work too.
Do you have any idea or suggestion to solve this network isssue?
thanks

There are several possible causes for this behavior.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local". Resolve the name conflict by renaming one or more of them in the Sharing preference pane.
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.

CiscoWorks Shadow Directory File Name After Device Rename

I have noticed that when a Device is renamed through Common Services --> Device and Credentials --> Device Management --> Edit Identity, it does not rename the config archive file name in the shadow directory. Changing the Display Name, Host Name, and IP Address for Device Properties. All of our devices are named with the IP Address of the device so we have the IP Address for the Display Name, Host Name, and IP Address.
Example: Device with the name of 10.10.10.10 has a config archive in the shadow directory with the file name 10.10.10.10.cfg. When the device is renamed to 10.10.10.20 it still continues to config archive ok but keeps the file in the shadow directory as 10.10.10.10.cfg.
Is there a way to get the config archive shadow directory file name to change?
Thanks.

Hi.
Kindly try resubmitting Device under RME (RME ->Device management -> Normal Device ->Select that particular Device and click on resubmit) and once it is back to normal state, then try to collect Archive after performing any change on the Device and see if it updates the Name of the Device under Shadow Directory.
If above steps does not help, you need to delete and re add Device under Common Services --> Device and Credentials --> Device Management in order to get the correct name reflect under Shadow Directory.
Kindly let me know in case you have any doubts regarding the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Nikhil

Where do I find a qualified PhotoShop Plug-in filter developer for a freelance project?

I need to hire a programmer (freelance) to develop a PhotoShop plug-in filter. I'm in the SF Bay area, but unfamiliar with the industry. I know I need someone skilled in C++, algorithms, PhotoShop SDK and Mac platform. I just don't know where I should be looking to find a qualified person or company.
A web search for PhotoShop programmer doesn't bring up what I need. A Craigslist search under Computers didn't come up with anyone with PhotoShop Plug-in experience. Sites like Freelance.com, GetACoder.com, etc., provide few responses and all are "off-shore".
Where should I search for a programmer (Preferably Bay Area) for my project?

Maybe I can assist you,
Leave email address or something.

Migrating to CC - Photoshop plug ins

I do posses a vast number of photoshop plug-ins installed in CS6; now I am migrating to CC; how do I migrate the filters and plug-ins?

Welcome to the forum,
As John stated, it's best to check with the developers websites of each plug-in and see if they offer updated versions for Creative Cloud software, or further information about upcoming updates or compatibility issues with Creative Cloud.

Plug in directory

Hi, I am in the process of configuration, the environment is: SQL 2005, Windows 2003, the installed component is: Weblogic 9.2, EPMA, Essbase, Planning, SmartView. when I configure the web server, I select Apachy, and the next screen ask for the web server plug in folder, "Enter the directory where the plug-ins(mod_wl_20.so) are installed, who can tell me the correct plug-ins directory?thanks!

When you installed weblogic, did you select custom install and select "web server plugins", this will install the files you need in the BEA installation.
Cheers

Photoshop plug in for Canon Xapshot

This is a longshot...
I came across a used Canon Xapshot a few months ago and added it to my collection. It's complete with adaptor to allow me to hook up to a TV or the AV input on my G3's. Then the other day found a stack of old Canon VF floppies at work plus a few of my own from when I tested out the Xapshot when it was first released by Canon.
So after doing some googling I came across a reference to an old Photoshop plug in the the Xapshot and was wondering if anyone knows where I can track it down. I have old versions of PS that should work with it already as we have been a Mac shop since the mid 80's.
Thanks
Kevin

Why don't you post in a Canon camera forum like this one. *Canon Digital Photography Forum* @ http://photography-on-the.net/forum/ If you do a Google searcdh, you'll find some more forums.
Surely there is a camera enthusiast on one of these forums that has the plug-in.
 Cheers, Tom

How to launch photoshop plug-ins under Lightroom?

Do Somebody know a way how to launch Adobe Photoshop plug-ins under Lightroom?
Especially the case is interesting when there is only Lightroom and there is not an installed copy of Photoshop.
There are some 3th party favorite Photoshop's plug-ins (some may be commercial) which I would like to apply on picture into Lightroom. But Photoshop arent more used. And even arent installed. How is possible to use photoshop's plug-ins into Lightroom?

Thank Misterretro! You are bet! This tool is indeed the answer on my needs.
Jim, fortunately, you were wrong. As I can see now there is a way how to launch Photoshop plug-ins under Lightroom, (and also iPhoto, Aperture and etc). At last, the link above promises it, To say it exactly it needs to try.
PS. As I can see, not all Photoshop plug-ins are supported. (But my favorite it should be hosted) This tool "LaunchBox" can integrate into Lightroom only 3th party filter (like AlienSkin, AutoFX, Topaz and etc..) plug-ins but not standard Photoshop filters because obviously what standard Photoshop filters arent plug-ins but these are a part of Photoshop binary code.

Using STL collections in Photoshop plug-ins

Hello! Would you explain one moment. I need use a lot of STL collections in my Photoshop plug-in. First, I try to write something like --------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <map> #include <string> ... map<int,string> foo; // BANG! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Next, I try to use Photoshop Basic Suite: --------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <algorithm> namespace std {} using namespace std; #include <PIFormat.h> extern SPBasicSuite *g_sSPBasic; inline void * operator new ( const size_t size ) { void *result = 0; if( 0 != g_sSPBasic ) { void *temp; if( g_sSPBasic->AllocateBlock( size, &result ) ) { result = 0; } else { #ifdef DEBUG char *tmp = static_cast<char*>( result ); fill( tmp, tmp + size, 0xEB ); #endif } } return result; } inline void operator delete ( void * ptr ) { if( 0 != g_sSPBasic ) { g_sSPBasic->FreeBlock( ptr ); } } // the same for operator new[] and operator delete[] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now simple STL collections can be created. Is there more laconic way to create STL collections? Moreover. This code is very dirty. For example, I even don't sure that Simple Suite address is constant between calls of plug-in entry point. So I think this is an awful dangerous code (just imagine the effect of two copies of of Adobe Photoshop using plug-in using this operators simultaneously). Do you have some ideas how to make it clean and working?

On dynamic C++ memory management in Adobe Photoshop plug-in
As there are some people interested in the question I'll try to explain a technique I use at present.
I have two memory allocators:
a) based on Adobe's Basic Suite for small blocks (under 2Kbytes)
b) based on Adobe's Handle Suite for large blocks (above 2Kbytes)
operator new and operator new[] allocate 4 additional bytes for every allocation, store in the first 4 bytes handle to memory allocator used for this new or new[] call, and return pointer after this handle.
operator delete and operator delete[] takes memory allocator handle from the pre-pointer 4 bytes, and dellocate memory using correct memory allocator.
This strategy works well.
Does anybody know a better dynamic memory management technique to use with Adobe SDK for Adobe Photoshop plug-ins?
