folder.selectedDlg doesn't work from HTML5 extension on OSX 10.8.5

oddgames Apr 2, 2014 8:05 PM

I'm running this code from ExtendScript IDE and it works beautifully.

var folder = new Folder(path);

var f = folder.selectDlg(title);

return f.toString();

When I run it from my HTML5 extension it show's the dialog but it is unable to view my folder structure correctly, it seems that each new folder I visit it figures out what files are in it but doesn't display it unless I go back one folder then click into the folder for a second time.

It's as if the list that shows my files doesn't refresh or refreshes before all my files/folders have been found for that folder.

Anyone else experienced this?

It's a known bug - I've logged that several weeks ago, still no fix at the horizon ;-)
I agree it is annoying. You can always use the CEP function from the HTML Panel, but if you have to rely on code from JSX there's no workaround yet (which is? Annoying!)

Hi,

As Davide suggest, you can use the HTML dialog instead of the ExtendScript dialog. You can read about it here : http://bit.ly/1hIFZay

Hallgrimur Bjornsson,
I've found that the HTML dialog hangs Photoshop too (OSX, CC 2014).

var fileObj = cep.fs.showOpenDialog();
csInterface.evalScript("sayHello('" + fileObj.data[0].toString() + "')");

The select dialog displays correctly, I pick a file, click Open and the dialog hangs there, the wheel spins and I have to force quit PS.
