Flash panels crash Photoshop CS4 under the following conditions: 2. The flash panel is collapsed to an icon. 3. You click on the panel icon to display it and run a filter plugin from the flash panel.
1. The "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" option is activated under Edit > Preferences > Interface.
The crash happens when you run the filter plugin from the panel or after you click OK on the plugin dialog. Sometimes the crash happens after the plugin was applied and you do something else in Photoshop.
I was able to reproduce the problem with my own ThePluginSite panel and the Blow-Up panel of Alienskin.
If the "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" option is deactivated, there is no crash.
Can this problem be fixed in Version 11.02 of Photoshop CS4?
What does this have to do with the SDK? Does it crash in a plugin that you wrote using the SDK?
Or are you just trying to report a bug in the flash panel code? If so, use the normal bug report form, and include details so we can work with Alien Skin to resolve the problem.
