AutoLoader News Posts

All scripts have been updated to work and install with the new Photoshop CS5. A few notes:

• CS3 users: if you are going to move to CS4 or CS5 at some point in the future, download it now and save yourself the hassle of asking me to send it to you when you do. You don’t have to install it into CS3 if you don’t want to though: there is nothing new in the program itself.
• CS4 and CS5 users: use the installation package. There is one for the Photoshop part, and one for the Bridge part; it’s the same file for both. Double-clicking them should do the right thing, but if it doesn’t, open Adobe Extension Manager CS5, and use the “Install” button.
• CS4 and CS5 users: these new packages should automatically replace your current version as displayed in the Extension Manager. If you see a warning about an older version, simply delete the old version, then install the new one. Your preferences will not be affected.
• Windows 7 users may run into troubles with Extension manager giving you attitude about permissions. If this is the case for you, right-click the Extension Manager icon, click Properties, select the Compatibility tab, and check the “Run this program as an administrator.” Or see this post for a demo.

Note that this update adds no new functionality; it is a simple compatibility update.

Thanks for your patience

This is just to reassure you all that an update to make AutoLoader, Proofmaker et al work in CS5 will appear once I get my hands on CS5. They may work already, I don’t know…I’m not on the Adobe beta team. But if they don’t, an update will appear to ensure that everything works smoothly. I expect that this update will be free, since the changes in the Adobe scripting API haven’t changed much in the last two versions of CS.

In any case, if updates are needed, all users will be informed. Thanks for your patience as I sort it all out
