Thanks Iain

Wow, I got an email last week from Australia! Iain from addition.com liked one of my scripts and gave it an upgrade! He hacked "copy to object" so it does multiple copies at once! His hack also showed me a neat way to dynamically assign variables in JS, which I thought was not possible.

His feedback inspired me to play some more with JS, and I popped out 2 new scripts, "organify" and "scallop." Check 'em out. Both are v.1, so they're not very flexible, but they work, and they work well.

I've noticed in the last few months that Adobe's Studio Exchange site has been down more often than not. Are they telling us something? Well, I've decided not to post my new scripts there, so all the latest stuff will be here only.

cheers,

My first Hiccups...

Greetings all. I suppose I should start with a bit of an explination for this blog. Hi I'm John, and among other things, I write javascripts for Illustrator (on the PC). I have a small library I've created over the last year or so, and since it's inception, all my feedback has been positive. Until this week.

This week, two people, Mila and Dee have both contacted me saying that my scripts just flat out fail when run on OSX/CS2.

Dee had trouble with CMYK to PMS, and generously ran some tests for me. Apparently it crashes on v10.3 because 'prompt' wasn't implemented on that version.



The same script works fine on CS, but fails silently in CS2. So much for cross platform...

Mila downloaded my Vary Hues, Light and Shadow, Zoom and Center and Delete Fluff scripts. Zoom and Center works fine, but the other three die silently. I wonder what the common denominator is? Dialogue boxes?

Because of these hicups, I'm creating this to keep people on top of what's happened, and what is happening with my script development.
If you have an idea what's going wrong here, or if you have an idea for a new script contact me via email. My address is in all of my scripts.
enjoy,
-J
