Using Extensions in Photoshop C6
I installed Adobe Extention Manager and Exchange, they open in Photoshop C6, the extension I bought shows thereand says enabled, but how do I open it and use it in Photoshop? Where is it? When I click on the extension I bought it just asks me to buy it again.
Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info and actually knowing what extension you bought. some are just scripts, others presets or actions, a few are plug-ins. Therefore not every extension does produce an extra menu or panel.

Problem using extension manager CS5 with command line
Hi All,
I had posted my question here : http://forums.adobe.com/message/4695419#4695419, but was advised to do so here as well..
I have a requirement to get the path of all the installed Extension Managers on any Windows system for the purpose of installing an extension.. I thought, there would be no problem in getting the path from the registry. There was no problem in Win XP, but the same does not work for Win 7.. I googled, and found alternate ways to get the path.
Here is the link : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/851359. I followed the instructions in this post, but failed to get this working for CS5 as mentioned in my previous thread... No problem for CS5.1 and CS6.. Why is that?
I want to get this working for CS5, CS5.1, CS6... How can I get the path of all the Extension Manager versions installed on a Windows system?
Please refer to the following screenshots to get a better understanding of my problem,
I created a jsx file named "Result.jsx", which I saved in my D drive, with the following code,
resultFile = new File("D:/result.log");
resultFile.open("w");
resultFile.write(BridgeTalk.__diagnostics__);
resultFile.close();
If I run this directly from ESTK CS5, there is no problem, and I get the result.log file. I tried to execute this script via command line as shown in the screenshot,
On executing the above, I got the following error,
What is going wrong?
Please help!I am sorry for the poor documentation of Extension Manager which causes you so much trouble.
1. You can use BridgeTalk API to ask specific version of Extension Manager to do something. There is sample in packaging_extension.pdf about this. You don't need to know the installation path of Extension Manager. One thing to note is that the value of bt.target is version specific, i.e. "exman-5.0", "exman-5.5" send this message to different version of Extension Manager, so you can change this value to install/enable/disable/remove extensions using different version of Extension Manager. More detailed documentation of BridgeTalk can be found by clicking "Help" menu then clicking "Javascript Tools Guide CS5" in "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5".
2. Specific version of Extension Manager only manage extensions for corresponding version of product. You should use Extension Manager CS5 to install extensions for Photoshop CS5. The reason that the extension you installed for Photoshop CS5.1 using Extension Manager CS5.5 is displayed for Photoshop CS5 in Extension Manager CS5 is that two versions of Photoshop specified the same directory for Extension Manager to manage extensions. This is a defect and will cause some problems if multiple versions of Photoshop co-existed in one machine. But "to find previous (CS5) extension manager and to enable it" should work for you, I guess you use command line to enable it and specify wrong product name (see #3) so that it doesn't work.
3. When using command line, you should specify "product" attribute with the name displayed at the left panel of Extension Manager. So "Photoshop CS5 32" is correct. Remember to enclose it with double quote because of existence of space character.
4. As above mentioned, use display name of Photoshop, and call proper version of Extension Manager by BridgeTalk. -
Various problems using extension manager with command line
Hello all,
We are installing our plugins to CS4/5/5.1 version of Adobe Photoshop as part of our installer and allow the users to select specific versions of Photoshop to install the panel for. There are a few old problems that I wanted to rant about for quite some while and now with a whole bunch of problems that the 5.1 update introduced I feel I just have to voice them. I will limit it to PC only as it seems to be the most troubled platform
#1 As we cannot install our plugin only by using the Extension Manager (simply because it cannot handle all we've to do upon the installation) we have to run commands from within the our installer, non-interactively, of course.
The interface to command line installation is xmancommand.exe (or "Extension manager (Version). exe" - not sure whether it makes any difference. ). Now the first question is how to find this executable on the target machine, from an installer. Users may specify different locations to install the Creative Suite and it certainly does NOT have to be C:\Program Files\...(or %PRGRAMFILES% in general). ATM we are using an odd place in the registry to to find the path to the most recent Extension Manager but first its sometimes overwritten by another installation and in any case it only shows ONE version of the extension manager which of course cannot handle other versions (see #2)
#2 Why the most recent version of Adobe Extension Manager (5.5) cannot install the extension for 5.0? Well, install it actually does, however its disabled for CS5 and it seems that the only way to enable it on this platform is to find previous (CS5) extension manager and to enable it. Oh, actually no - it doesn't work! The only way that I found here working is to find CS5 extension manager first, install the extension there and then use CS5.5 extension manager to enable it. Why do I need both utilities to manage my extensions?!
#3 The program is severely lacking in documentation AND it doesn't produce reasonable output messages, so determining what it can actually support is a puzzle. For example, why "Dreamweaver CS5" is a correct product name and "Photoshop CS5" is not (don't different teams talk to each other)? Ok, lets forget the consistency, but how do I make the utility output the list of all products it supports, in their magic token form that it will actually be understood if passed in in the command line? By trial and error? This menthod btw is also extremely painful: nany times when specifying wrong parameters the program doesn't provide any output and just shrugs "whatever, go figure it yourself"...
#4 Why the only way to enable/disable an extension in Photoshop seems to be using magic "productfamily" keyword that is not even listed on Adobe's help page for command line options (here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/WSB4845EDD-14E5-476a-B749-FF328830D1 4F.html).? E.g. "xmancommand.exe" -suppress -remove product=Photoshop extension=OurExtension" will ALWAYS fail with a lovely "'Photoshop is not supported by Extension Manager CS5.5." error; I've tried "PhotoshopCS5", "Photoshop CS5", "PhotoshopCS5.1" "Photoshop CS5.1", "Photoshop-12" (mentioned in examples section in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/packaging_extension.pdf ) and a whole bunch of other permutations - none seem to work (see #3). Magic "productfamily=Photoshop" does work. But then it only aims the current version ("CS5.1") and I need it to work for CS5 (I'm not even mentioning CS4...."). Would there be any suggestions?
Really, the question is, how do we, third-party developers, are supposed to interact with the command-line utility without knowing where it is, what product names is capable to work with and without being able to target specific platforms (i86 vs x64 anyone (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/672537)? CS5 vs CS5.1 (above)?). I don't know what your test cases are for the command line tool (if any!), but this is simply insane, folks, simply insane.I am sorry for the poor documentation of Extension Manager which causes you so much trouble.

Flash Catalyst CS5 FXG Extension for Photoshop CS5
Hello,
I'm having an error message (you do not have the appropriate permissions required to perform the operation..) when i install the FXG extensions for Photoshop CS5. I'd like to use the Round-Trip-Editing function and it asks me to install the FXG extensions.
Is there something i missed? I'm currently using windows7 (64)
Thank you

HTML5 Extensions for Photoshop CS5 and above ?
Hi guys,
I am trying to get into developing HTML5 extensions for Photoshop, and I'm a little confused about the compatibility of this kind of extension across the different versions.
I have downloaded this starting point code (hallodom/photoshop-extension-example · GitHub) and it runs without problems on Photoshop CC. I just added the manifest.xml file in a CSXS folder, based on what I got from a dummy projet I created with Extension Builder 3.
Now I have tried to make this work in CC 2014, without success. All I did is move the extension from the CEPServiceManager4 folder to simply CEP, and update this part of the manifest.xml :
<HostList>
<Host Name="PHSP" Version="[15.0,15.9]" />
<Host Name="PHXS" Version="[15.0,15.9]" />
</HostList>
The extension appears in the Extensions menu, but when I launch it, the panel appears but is empty, and I get the following error message :
Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded.
Also I wanted to know if this kind of extension can be used on CS5, CS6 ? I really would like to make an extension that works at least from CS5 and above.
Thanks for your help!Hi,
You should probably set the Debug Flag for CC 2014 too, see instruction here:
undavide/PS-Panels-Boilerplate · GitHub
(PS: HTML extensions are for CC onwards, not CS6 and previous versions)

Why is my Flex extension for Photoshop out of focus while writing text?
Hi All,
I have a query. Why is my Flex extension for Photoshop out of focus while I am writing text to a layer? I noticed that if I am writing some text in a text layer, and while writing I try to do some action in my extension, like clicking a button, I am unable to do so.. Why is that? The extension doesn't receive any click events.. I have to select the layer and then perform any such action.. Please answer if there is a way of solving this issue..
Thanks!Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.<br />
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
* Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Good Morning. I'm having a problem using both my Photoshop elements and premiere programs. I've installed the programs, redeemed my code and entered the serial numbers, and created the adobe log-in. I am able to open up the organizer without problems, but when I try to open up the photo editor (either by trying to open up the program from the main menu, or right-clicking on a photo in the organizer to edit in elements), the program asks me to sign in to adobe (which I can do and it doesn't give an an "incorrect password" or log-in ID error) then accept the terms and conditions. When I click to accept the terms and conditions, nothing happens and the editor fails to open. Everytime I click on the program, I get this same "loop" of signing in and accepting T&C's, but the program fails to open. Any advice?
Premiere Elements 10 is now 64 bit, but not PSE10.
Take a look at your scratch disk set-up and if you have a spare volume, allocate that first before the C drive. Elements use scratch disks when it gets low on RAM.

Turn off face recognition and the auto-analyzer to improve performance.
When editing photos or videos check the task manager to see what background processes may be running and end them temporarily if not needed. -

Convert photos using the Tools Photoshop Imagine Processor (Photoshop CS 5)
All of a sudden, I am having issues when I attempt to convert photos using the Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor option in Adobe Bridge. I used this methodology in the past and the conversion to JPG or TIFFs would fly with no interruption. Now I am getting now getting getting dialog boxes with "New Snapshot" in the title, I click OK, then get a message, "The command "Feather" is not currently available," I click "continue, and gert a "New Layer" dialog box, I click OK, and get a "Fill" dialog box, I click OK and the JPG or Tiff is then generated. This series then starts over on the next photo to generate. I am using Photoshop CS5 on a MAC. I did uninstall and re-install Photoshop l, but I am getting the same series on messages. Any suggestions? Thanks
It sounds like you have an action running when processing the photos
Look at the bottom of the image processor dialog and and see if Run Action is checked -

Hi,
Make sure your document is RGB color. You'll also need to make sure the GPU option is enabled for the document.

Problem Creating an ABAP Proxy based on a WSDL which uses extensions.
Hi all,
I'm trying to create an Asset in Salesforce using ABAP.
I can generate the ABAP Proxy OK, (from the SalesForce Enterprise WSDL I created) but the Asset definition does not exist.
I think my issue stems from the fact that the SalesForce WSDL uses extension elements for the definition of Asset.
I found the following notes on the extension element
516072 - XI Proxy Generation (not really for abap)
1386239 - Extention of complex type containing xsd:any (this is close but we are on SAP BASIS Release 70 701 not 702
Threads which talks about extension element not supported.
Proxy generation terminated: WSDL error ( EXTENSION not supported)
WSDL Error: Element 'extension' not
Threads which talks about how to modify the WSDL
Creating ABAP proxy from WSDL fails when <extension> present
Creating ABAP proxy from WSDL fails when <extension> present (but this is using xmlspy which I don't have and the instructions aren't clear to me)
What I'm really looking for is
1) Any Notes which I could apply in a basis 701 environment to enable creating abap proxies from wsdl with extension elements
2) Any tips on how to modify my WSDL to remove the extension elements yet still offer the same functionality (i.e. I need to use the create function with a sobject of Asset (which is currently defined via an extension.
3) Anyone who has integrated with SalesForce to create SalesForce objects (Accounts, Assets, etc) either tips on how to modify the WSDL or sample ABAP code as to how you got around the missing extension elements.
Regards,
JohnHi John,
couldn´t you post a section from your wsdl file which includes the type definition with an extension?
I think you could remove the extension an copy all elements from the type definition which is extended into the new type definition.
Here an example that you get the idea:
<xsd:complexType name="PERSON">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="firstName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="lastName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ageInYears" type="xsd:int"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="weightInLbs" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="heightInInches" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="femalePerson">
<xsd:complexContent>
<xsd:extension base="typens:PERSON" >
<xsd:element name="favoriteLipstick" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
</xsd:extension>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
is going to be ->
<xsd:complexType name="PERSON">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="firstName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="lastName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ageInYears" type="xsd:int"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="weightInLbs" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="heightInInches" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="femalePerson">
<xsd:element name="firstName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="lastName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ageInYears" type="xsd:int"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="weightInLbs" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="heightInInches" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="favoriteLipstick" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
</xsd:complexType>
Save your changes to a local file and use this to generate your proxy.
