Panel freezes

[Joachim Hiller]

I have a problem, if I run over a panel a long running script (5- 10 sec), the panel is not usable for this time.

Is there a way to run the script in a background thread, or something similar??

Function in *.jsx file

//Save all Data to Json-File

saveAllNewPresets = function (data) {

   for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {

   //Funktionsnamen zusammensetzten
   var funcname = data[i].function + "( " + jamJSON.stringify(data[i].look) + ")";
   //Funktion ausführen
   eval(funcname);
   }

   return true;
};

The actions system runs on the main thread. So you and your users should not be interacting with Photoshop during script execution.
