Create a calculator for bridge?

Aug 9, 2012 5:27 AM

I have done scripting for InDesign wich has a palette for scripts or a start up script folder to run the script from. I am not sure how to start this thing. The next thing I want to do after I figure that out is to count photos in each folder that I select and then add them. The calculator could just be a UI window in Bridge is what I was thinking I just need help getting it going.

    I am using a little snippet of mine to get this thing going and the ok and cancel buttons are not working. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this for me.

























    var myOKGroup =  myIDinfo.add (“group”);
myOKGroup.orientation = “row”;
myOKGroup.minimumSize.height = 40;
myOKGroup.add(“button”, [15,80,95,110],  “OK”);
myOKGroup.add(“button”, [15,80,95,110],  “CANCEL”);
myOKGroup.alignment=[“right”,”bottom”];
var myResult = myIDinfo.show();
 

     

    This works in InDesign.

    The snippet you posted had mis-matched quotes everywhere, maybe you are using an editor not suited for the job?

     

    This does work...

     

    var myIDinfo = new Window('dialog','test');
var myOKGroup =  myIDinfo.add ('group');
myOKGroup.orientation = 'row';
myOKGroup.minimumSize.height = 40;
myOKGroup.add('button', [15,80,95,110],  'OK');
myOKGroup.add('button', [15,80,95,110],  'CANCEL');
myOKGroup.alignment=['right','bottom'];
var myResult = myIDinfo.show();

    Sorry I copied it from a text editor and it messes up the quotes.

    Did you get the window to close after you hit cancel?

    It works for me in CS5 but not CS6. What version are you using?

    It works just fine on Windows 7 64bit using both 32bit and 64 bit Bridge versions:-

    5.0.0.399 x64
    5.0.0.399 x32

    I am using OSX 10.6.8. Are there any other factors that I am missing? Are you running it from toolkit?

    Yes I was using ExtendScript Toolkit to test both the 32bit and 64bit versions of Bridge. I know CS6 has major problems with Bridge scripting as colours,scriptui font sizes, using images don't work. These has been reported to Adobe, but no idea when there will be a fix.
