Native Drag and Drop not working in CC

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:28:19 GMT

Hello,

I've been having trouble with migrating extensions from CS5.5 to CC (in flex for now). Especially with Native Drag events.

For example NativeDragEnter event is not triggering when dragging something from swatch list to extension. When I drag something from the document itself, event gets triggered (but not every time, which is strange).

Other elements of the extension are working.

Everything is working fine in CS 5.5.

I am using Extension Builder 2.1, building with flex sdk 3.4. Max target version of Creative Suite has been set to CS 7, so the extension should work in CC.

Is anyone having similar problems? Some feedback would be appreciated.

Saving document with extended option kSaveMultiArtboards problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 29 Jul 2014 15:32:21 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to save a document using AIDocumentSuite function WriteDocument or WriteDocumentWithOptions and passing an extended option kSaveMultiArtboards (saving document in .ai format and saving each artboard into a separate file - there is an option in illustrator when you save file to do this), but I am unable to do so. I know I should be passing "Adobe Illustrator Any Format Writer" as a file format name when calling those functions.

Here is the simple code which I am using currently:

ai::FilePath filePath(ai::UnicodeString("/path/to/save/file/test.ai"));

ai::int32 fileFormatCount;

sAIFileFormat->CountFileFormats(&fileFormatCount);

for (int i = 0; i < fileFormatCount; i++)

{

AIFileFormatHandle fileFormat = NULL;

sAIFileFormat->GetNthFileFormat(i, &fileFormat);

char *fileFormatName;

sAIFileFormat->GetFileFormatName(fileFormat, &fileFormatName);

if ( strncmp(fileFormatName, "Adobe Illustrator Any Format Writer", strlen(fileFormatName)) == 0 )

{

// here we set kSaveMultiArtboards as extended option for "Adobe Illustrator Any Format Writer"

sAIFileFormat->SetFileFormatExtendedOptions(fileFormat, kSaveMultiArtboards);

// I can use either WriteDocument or WriteDocumentWithOptions, it makes no difference

sAIDocument->WriteDocument(filePath, fileFormatName, false);

//sAIDocument->WriteDocumentWithOptions(filePath, fileFormatName, kFileFormatWriteAs, false);

}

Am I doing something wrong here? Code passes without errors. After setting extended option to fileFormat with GetFileFormatExtendedOptions I can clearly see that the option has been set.

Am I passing the wrong argument as file format name for WriteDocument function. Or should I create custom file format with options and extended options already in it, so I don't have to set them for file format that already exists?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Auto load plugin on event

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 08 May 2014 13:10:30 GMT

Hello

Is there a way for a plugin to check if it is visible (active?), on an event like kAILayerOptionsNotifier, if the user changes the layer options, the plugin appears automatically so the user don't have to go to Window->PluginName and start it.

The problem is not in registering the event, but showing the plugin UI.

The UI is written in Objective-C, if that info helps.

There is an option i used when the UI was written in Flex fPPLib.LoadExtension() to do the same.

Thanks

Count Sublayers in a layer

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 11:59:21 GMT

Hello,

Is there a possibility to count (only) all sublayers in a given layer?

CountLayers from LayerSuite is only counting top-level layers and that isn't good enough.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I am using CS SDK 5.
