Photoshop reacting to scripts differently over time

[essejesse]

I have written a handful of scripts, which I update occasionally. My team and I recently have had issues with some of them, but are incapable of consistently reproducing the problem. This caused me to start thinking about when and how the errors were happening. Over time, I realized that with a restart of photoshop, things usually returned to normal, but this left me wondering why.

My questions are: If Photoshop starts causing errors, or misreads the script after a while, is this something I have done wrong within the script itself? Do others encounter this problem as well? Is there a way to fix it? Am I crazy?

No specific script, really any of the longer ones (300-400 lines total, half a dozen functions or so).

Here's an example case.
Monday, I start up the computer and begin working. Photoshop is opened, but I don't need it for the scripts right now.
Wednesday, I need to use one of my scripts to save out images to multiple locations, it works fine.
Thursday, I use it again, but the last part just isn't working. 5 of 6 steps of a function are performed, and then it just stops.
Friday, I continue to get errors, but then quit and restart Photoshop and the script works fine.

If it's just a matter of restarting Photoshop regularly, this would seem like a new development. I've gone years with just a weekly computer restart, and my programs all remain open for ease of use.

Thanks!

I forgot to mention. Other errors we get are things like when saving ruler units to later restore them, every once in a while we will have to restart photoshop because instead of doing what is intended, the preferences just open up and wait for user input.

Code: Select allvar originalUnit = preferences.rulerUnits
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS

Or the folder to save something in will just randomly switch from prompting to saving without asking, with no discernible reason. That one can go on for a while and then all the sudden it will start asking for user permission to save again.

I thought that may have had to do with the starting point, like if there was no history it saves without asking, or something. But I tried adding a history state that didn't effect the visual appearance of the file at all, and we still get this sometimes.

I can offer no pertinent observations.
But I am afraid unless you can provoke the behaviour halfway reliably it may be difficult to trouble-shoot.

Can you post at least one of the affected Scripts and describe how it fails exactly on the occasions it does fail inexplicably?

Try resetting your preferences. Beyond that, daily restarts may be your only option. I have seen similar odd behaviour before but it was typically a new release of PS and the problem(s) would disappear on an update.

I'll give the preferences a shot the next time I'm having problems so I can see if that helps.

Here's one of the main scripts we use. Besides this problem, I'd love feedback on how it's constructed. I have a very limited knowledge of what I'm doing, and have relied on this site for help, with great results.

Code: Select all#target Photoshop

Sorry for the disorganization and stupid notes.

Anyway, we use this when one of our standard images is completed. It gets saved for us to use in the future, but then we have to save it out at different resolutions for the marketing team. The initial saves are the three standard resolutions. We also need to save it for specific websites every once in a while, that's the rest of the functions.

I kind of backed into having it work this way, so it's not the most logically constructed.

This script has exhibited three different errors from time to time.
• Brings up preferences for user to interact with instead of just saving the ruler units
• runs through the standard saves without prompting the save location.
• Gets to the .com saves (if any were selected) and just stops, leaving the file open. It acts like the script has completed

None of these are consistent, and it really does seem to matter how long the machine/Photoshop has been running for.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on what could be causing the problem.

I have not gone through the Script diligently, but I wonder if the removal of hidden Layers at the beginning could not more easily be achieved with »Delete Hidden Layers«.

Hi,

I deal also with lots of scripts for several teams and I wonder if you are using PCs or Macs.

I are using windows7 and photoshop CC2014.
In fact, I found really easy to upgrade all my 6000 lines of scripts from CS6 to CC2014 and I found that all scripts run on average 20% faster on CC2014.

Although, there are some tips that my team regularly must do on their PCs.

1. keep windows updated: some time scripts are running slow note because of any inner problem but because of windows. On past, some windows upgrades were causing problems on photoshop normal performance. Generally, in a few days a new windows update solved it.

2. Because we use Bridge with scripts and to get always new files (never the same files, always new files) we have an event on Bridge to delete all cache when it closes. Doing so we have always space on PCs disk and a faster performance on bridge to get the new thumbnails.

3. Another tool we use that help a lot performance on adobe apps, is to run on Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup app
We run it and make sure to delete all temporary data, thumbs, etc, restarting adobe apps after.

4. Lately I found very important to update all PCs from Adobe Photoshop CC 2014.0.0/ 2014.2.1 >>> to 2014.2.2 because they were running slower for some reason.

Pfaffenbichler, I'll look into changing that. Thanks for the heads up.

Pedro, we use Macs here. Photoshop is kept relatively up to date. I don't think anyone goes more than a week without installing the newest version of CC 2014, when they release updates. What do you mean you upgraded your script to CC 2014? I've never updated any of my scripts for the new versions, but I've only been doing this a short time.

Only the central script system on our network was in need to be updated.
When starting photoshop in the morning (all our PCs have a listener to run a central script from our network the moment photoshop starts or restarts), that script will pick all studios most recent color profiles (dcp, xmp) and save them on the user cameraraw preferences. It does the same with all our common scripts, files, assets, workspaces, etc, saving each one on its proper user place or public place.
For example, our common shortcuts/worspace preset file to be applied on the photoshop user, must be saved in this place:
C:/Users/[USERNAME]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts/
and over CS6 was different.

The rest of the scripts are running well on both versions.

Oh, I see. We don't have anything that intense going. And I'm glad it all makes sense now to me (in theory).

Thanks for the reply.
