Am I able to port over my plugin (C++) from CS6 to CC?

[i73]

I've created a C++ automation plugin with the CS6 SDK and wondering how much work it will be to convert it over to CC?

Hi there,

It depends upon the design of the Plugin and whether it is compatible with CC or not, Normally they should be migrated automatically and work fine.

Please post the same query in Photoshop Plugin and Companion App SDK for more information.

Thanks,

Hey Akash, I did a test yesterday and it seems to load the plugin but I cannot see it in the File -> Automation context menu, it's weird because I can see it in the Help -> About Plugins menu.

Here is my .rc with the main UI, the UI to see File -> Automate:

IDD_Main_UI DIALOG DISCARDABLE 315, 315, 315, 315

STYLE DS_SETFONT | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_FIXEDSYS | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION

CAPTION "Export To:"

FONT 8, "Helv"

BEGIN

  LTEXT           IDC_FileDirectoryText, 0, 5, 5, 200, 13

  EDITTEXT        IDC_FileDirectory, 5, 15, 200, 13, ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_OEMCONVERT

  LTEXT           "Scenes:", 0, 5, 40, 200, 13

  EDITTEXT        IDC_SceneName, 5, 50, 200, 13, ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_OEMCONVERT

  COMBOBOX        IDC_TextureList, 205, 50, 200, 50, CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP

  DEFPUSHBUTTON   "OK", 1, 80, 110, 50, 14, WS_GROUP

  PUSHBUTTON      "Cancel", 2, 140, 110, 50, 14, WS_GROUP

END

Any ideas? Does it need a version in the .pipl to run?
