Freezes up on Photoshop CS6 (v13.0.6 x64), OS X Yosemite

[jericho1ne]

I've made sure to copy the JSX file and 2xJSON files to the appropriate location. Photoshop froze up both times I've tried it, had to force quit.

Error log here:

Cheers!

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, the error log is not very helpful. A few questions to clarify: At which stage does it happen (immediately after launch, when dialog is open, processing started)? If during the processing, what are the (non-default) settings? Does it hang even for small files?

The log suggests the hang was reported after 1 minute. That's not very long in Photoshop terms. If your file is very large (hundreds of layers), Ps may take some time to process it and fail to update the progress bar.

Anyway, there's not much I can do since I don't have Ps CS 6 and I'm still on Mavericks on my Macbook. I need to know the exact cause of the problem to fix this (line number in script). But maybe someone else will look into it (very unlikely).

No worries, looking at your script, I thought to myself "why don't I edit the original script?"   So I commented out a couple of lines in the Adobe-provided JSX file, and got what I wanted - removal of the XXXX prefix that photoshop adds to each of the layer names :)

My file has only 5 layers, and it's not too big pixel size-wise. Check it out:

Good, as long as it works for you... The file seems harmless enough and works no prob in CS2.

The same thing happens to me. I've used your script before in Mountain Lion / Photoshop CS6, and it worked perfect. Since I use Yosemite, the same script freezes up once I press "Run". I have to Force Quit. My file has only 10 layers, 300 x 300 px @ 72 dpi.

Looks like a Photoshop platform specific issue. I need someone to trace it. Comment out the export function in main(), try if it passes. Then go inside the function and do the same piece by piece until it's clear which line is responsible.

Crashes for me as well on CC 2014, Yosemite. The initial crash occurs on line 525, on win.show() of showProgressBar(). Any ideas?

[arobotd]

Actually, if I comment out that line, the script seems to work fine. Just no progress bar shows up.

[skjorn]

If you uncomment the line and run the script on a PSD with 20+ layers, does the dialog show? Or does it crash right away?

[arobotd]

The script seems to work fine as-is (with the line uncommented) on PSDs with 20+ layers, but crashes on PSDs with less.

[skjorn]

Please, try the latest update. I'm not sure what the exact cause is, but I removed the difference between processing few and many layers. Let's see if it helps.

[skjorn]

Any news?

[groxor]

Runs perfect already! Thanks!!!!

[skjorn]

No problem. Would be nice to have also reports from others, but I'm gonna assume it's fixed and close these bugs. If anyone still experiences the issue, they can report it again.

[arobotd]

I just wanted to let you know that the new version of the script works for me, as well. Thank you for your work!

[skjorn]

Great, thanks for info!
