Making a button for a third party plug-in

Mar 24, 2009 9:15 AM

Hello there,
I've just downloaded and started playing with Configurator.
My problem is that I would really like to add buttons for two plug-ins I've added to photoshop.
(Picturecode Noise Ninja and Alien Skin Exposure 2).
These plug-ins do not appear on the drop down list in Configurator.
Is there any way I can modify the script box in order to launch a non-standard plugin?
Similarly, I have a Script (Showit Borders) that I'd like to make a button for.
Many thanks,
Miller.

    3rd party plugins are best done as actions, then put into configurator as actions. you could add a 'fade' command to that action afterwards to adjust final opacity and perhaps make it a lum or col layer, and then the configurator button becomes a double purpose.

    This seems to have worked for Alien Skin Exposure and Showit Borders. When I do it with Noise Ninja, it launches, but seems to get caught in an infinite loop at the "profiling image" stage. This doesn't happen when I'm running my action just from the actions palette. hmmmmmnnnn....

    id try it but i use neatimage for noise...
    your actions are all created with selecting a new action, then going to INSERT MENU ITEM within the actions panel so that you could then manually add a plugin to your action, yes?
    as opposed to actually hitting RECORD for a new action and then going to the plugin within the normal dropdown menu, which might then cause problems with some plugins, because your not just adding the plugin window to popup this way, your adding the plugin window to use the settings you recorded with, and if its noise reduction, it could be trying to pull the exact-named file into its profiler...im just taking a stab at the cause...

    How does one go about putting in the third party plugin action into configurator Gary?  I'd like to be able to do that with a couple of nik plugings.
