Topic: simpleview in scripts with pshop CC 2014

i now get two simpleviewer options in photoshop cc 2014
when going into FILE>scripts>SimpleViewer
which opens the old fashioned dialogue box

or

when going into FILE>scripts>simpleviewer

when i do the lowercase one, it sits, then opens a huge page of code with an error.

i've uninstalled / reinstalled and done the extension and copied the folder from pro over...

thoughts?

Re: simpleview in scripts with pshop CC 2014

All .js and .jsx files are listed in the Scripts menu.

The SimpleViewer.jsx file (listed as 'SimpleViewer') is the actual plugin and it is this entry which should be selected.
The simpleviewer.js file (listed as 'simpleviewer') is the JavaScript file used internally by SimpleViewer when the gallery is displayed (and this is not the plugin and should not be selected).

The 'simpleviewer.js' file can be hidden from the Scripts menu by prefixing it with a ~ characters. Then, only 'SimpleViewer' (the actual plugin) should be visible.

This has been already been done with the SimpleViewer-Standard JavaScript file (which the plugin comes bundled with) but when you upgrade the plugin with your SimpleViewer-Pro files, you will need to rename the new JavaScript files manually.

Go into the plugins's 'svcore/js/' folder and do the following:
(1) Rename 'simpleviewer.js' to '~simpleviewer.js'.
(2) Rename 'swfobject.js' to '~swfobject.js'.

I have now added this information to the Upgrading the Photoshop SimpleViewer Script support page.
