@AJABON Try UXP, better chances if things break even if it takes a while.
English

@dirkbecker I replaced the StaticText because I didn't want the vulgar border on the Button. I wanted to change the background color with mouseover, but there was a problem with the UI theme. I think I'll remake it with CEP.
English

@AJABON Detailed bug reports sometimes also get resolved, some of mine made it even into the release notes. ScriptUI is seeing a kind of revival since AI vibe code prefers it over UXP.
English

@AJABON You mean that bg color? ScriptUI was rewritten for CC, haven't used that feature in years. Maybe enclose the field in a coloured group, at least gives a border.

@AJABON Use the community forum / SDK tag even though it is a bit unfortunately merged into general U2U.
I think more traffic in both U2U and PR would be an improvement, maybe some others also get inspired.
English

@dirkbecker I am following the SDK documentation and using Xcode 15.2 installed on macOS Sonoma.
I am currently learning C++ from scratch using a different reference book.
Is Adobe's developer forum beginner-friendly for someone like me?
English

@AJABON One thing worth more emphasis is to stick as close as you can get to the compiler version. Which also implies a small range of OS versions. Having a dedicated machine (can be VM) saves many headaches.
English

@dirkbecker Thank you. I understand that it takes time to learn, but I need someone to correct the parts of the SDK documentation that are wrong. It's very painful to realize that on my own...
English

@AJABON Join the developers prerelease and file bugs. That will also give you access to debug builds.
English

@AJABON The UI centric steps hide that the guide actually introduces so many useful concepts. Wish I had had that when I started. Take your time.
English

@dirkbecker I'm prepared for that, but I wish it was easier at the very beginning. (´Ꙩ ̫ Ꙩ`)
English

@AJABON It is an introduction to concrete resource types. Later you'll write plenty of that on your own.
English

@dirkbecker There were some difficulties in build and testing Step 4,
I could complete it.
I can't remember if the next step, "Using resources in pkug-ins" in the left frame is just an explanation or a necessary step for Step 5.
I'm going to go back a little and try again.

@richblack_DT The missing font could have gone unnoticed due to new feature that avoids pink by using PDF embedded font. Was any script involved that failed to detect the missing font?

@Vonster Reminds me of the international shrimp lovers @susanne_aust and Mr. C. Revette, also cooking up irresistible designs! x.com/susanne_aust/s…

What do I enjoy more than binge-watching Netflix? Cooking up designs like this for the (sadly fictional) International Shrimp Lovers Association. They may not exist, but if they did, this would be a shrimp-ly irresistible brand identity. glitschkastudios.com. #logodesigner

@blacksheeptokyo The dynamic object model is based on the same information that supports anyObject.reflect.toXML(), with few differences that the object.reflect returns the types of the actual properties rather than all possible types.

ブログ更新しました。
ExtendScript ScriptDebugger 2.1.0で追加されたGet OMV DictionaryですがオブジェクトモデルのXMLデータを返すアプリケーションとそうでないアプリケーションが混在していてどこからデータを参照しているのか?というお話です。

@blacksheeptokyo Yes, I wrote "some apps". Quality also varies, e.g. Premiere was "interesting" when I tried last.
English

@dirkbecker $.dictionary method is only available in certain applications, such as InDesign and InCopy. The reasons is unclear though.
English

@blacksheeptokyo ExtendScript has reflection for individual objects. extendscript.docsforadobe.dev/extendscript-t… $.dictionary.getClass(name).toXML(); can get the OMV for individual classes, in some apps. "Get OMV Dictionary" should combine that into single XML.
English

@dirkbecker I don't know what is $.dictionary.
I just found some xml files including for Illustrator in the directory
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Scripting Dictionaries CC" (btw I use MacOS)
but the command "Get OMV Dictionary" doesn't check these xml files.
