I would like to have a panel in photoshop with my dynamic content, this content will be a set of textfields used for calculations. I would like to know how can I achieve this.
I've tried with the Adobe Configurator (2.0 and 4.0) but both dont have the input text fields nor ability to add code that will perform calculations later.
I've tried to use SWF but in Configurator 2 after exporting panel was empty, and Configurator 4 doesnt export compatibile extension with CS5.1.
I'm trying with ExtendScript Toolkit but I can open panel type window - which then dont allow to click anywhere else or palette - but this just dissappears immediately:) - EDIT: Palette vs Dialog explains to me why it dissapears:)
Can anyone point me to the solution?:)
Edit2: I've also found that SWF's should be played in the panels as long as placed in the Panels folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1\Plug-ins\Panels\ but it doesnt work for me, hmm.
If you are in Photoshop CC try Extension Builder 3 you can build dockable panels with html5
If you are in a version before that use the palette from Script UI, you should take a look into the Script UI guide by Peter Kahrel
I think the disappearing palette problem can be solved by setting the
#target photoshopflag at the beginning of your script.
