This is the last beta release for 1.5. I've finished the Mac and CS3 ports.

Let me know if you run into any problems.

Docs are in the package and here.

xtools 1.5b3 released

Post by riz »

In trying to convert a couple of actions I ran into the following error message when converting from XML back to an action. The action in question did nothing but make a new fill layer.

Error 1220: Illegal argument
Line 6061
-> cTID = function(s) { return.app.charIDToTypeID(s);}

(I tried to attach the XML but the forum didn't like it, so here's a little detail)

It fails converting this line:
<ReferenceFormType.CLASSTYPE key="561" id="561" symname="contentLayer" sym="contentLayer" classString="contentLayer" class="">
</ReferenceFormType.CLASSTYPE>

The "561" is exported when using CS2. In CS3, the number is "605". I don't know enough about xtools yet to figure out the problem myself.

Any workarounds?

And many thanks - this is all tremendously useful to me.

i ran into 2 minor issues:
- the Install.js script is still version 1.18 and should at least be v1.33. as mentioned before it's still generating an error unless you specifically create and browse to the directories /Developer/xtools directory on a Mac.

- Line 477:
var startMsg = ("About to install xtools v1.5 in\r\n\r\n" +
dirName + "\r\n\r\nContinue?");

should be:
var startMsg = ("About to install xtools v1.5.3 in\r\n\r\n" +
dirName + "\r\n\r\nContinue?");

other than that, everything seems to be great so far.

could you show me a way to change the float value 's byteorder.

i can 't read the right value with VC/VB...
after i checked the result i found that the byteorder is reversed.

update
opposed to choosing from menu, I loaded the XToolkit.atn, from there I chose a different atn to convert, did that and without touching the xml file I reversed the process back to atn, and It Worked!!!
went back to the 1st one I tried, and again the xml process went ok, but the conversion failed with this error
Error 1220 Illegal Argument
line 29 -> cTID = function(s) {return app.charIDToTypeID(s);};
Mean something to you?
I can send both the orig atn, the xml and also the re created atn if you like.

Check the new thread. I posted an update. If those scripts don't work, send me the action file and xml file.

The error you are seeing basically means that during the atn->xml translation, the script is not generating a correct PS Id for something it's seeing in the action file.

It should be easy enough to find the problem once I have the atn file.
