Closed: New CS5 droplets not recognised yet
« on: July 04, 2010, 03:56:21 AM »
With the latest version of Photoshop CS5, Adobe seems to have fixed some really annoying bugs wrt. using droplets on a Mac. They have, however, also radically changed the way they are created; each droplet now is a "real" application with a .app suffix. As a consequence, PM does not recognise them anymore.

I hope this can be fixed easily.

Thanks,
    Hayo

Thanks for the heads-up.  I will look into it for the 4.6.5 update.

Anything new on this problem?
After changing an action in PS CS5 and creating a new droplet PM doesn't like it  ;)

What version of PM do you have?

4.6.6

Are you setting PM to look at the folder containing your droplet(s)?  It works for me (and Hayo who originally reported the issue.)

You need to point at the folder containing your droplets, and not a particular droplet itself.

PM looks at the right folder, and the "old" droplets are still working. PM recognizes the "new" droplet (created by CS5, with *.app at the end), but doesn't execute it.

That's odd; it worked flawlessly for me. If you drop a file onto the droplet manually (e.g., in the finder), does it work then?

Cheers,

Yes, via the Finder etc. works ... the Problem seems to be "the execution" by PM ...

Can you send me your droplet?  Please click on my name to the left of this message, then click on the 'personal message' link.  I will respond with upload instructions.

Kirk,

I had not been using droplets for a while, but with 4.6.6 my previously working droplet doesn't seem to work any longer.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I discovered the source of the problem and fixed it for the next update.

Hi Kirk, just discovered this problem as well myself, is there a new beta of the next update we can test for you yet?

Thanks,
R!

No.  I'm quite sure that it is fixed, however.

I'd expect a beta next week.
