Hello everyone!
InDesign and Illustrator have paths for starting up scripts that are simply placed in these folders:
/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS5/Startup Scripts/
/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5/Scripts/startup scripts/
For some reason though, I can't get this to work for Photoshop. I was hoping I could drop a javascript file in the following path and make it work for all 3 applications, but it doesn't.
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS5/
Or even if I try this path, it still doesn't work:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS5/Adobe Photoshop/
Is there a different 'startup scripts' path for Photoshop that I don't know about? I'm using CS5 on OS X Lion 10.7.5.
My other question is - is anyone familiar with: #targetengine "session"? It's my understanding that I need to have this at the top of my javascript if I want the palette it creates to stay open continually in the app. If that is true, is it ok to have 2 javascripts in the startup folder, that both have '#targetengine "session"' on the top line, and are both displaying palettes? Or is that bad practice?
Thanks!
Jay

The targetengine directive is not supported in PS. You can't keep an palette continually open in PS. Other tech may work but I haven't kept up-to-date on this stuff.

I am not sure of the path on Mac but you should be able to run a finder search for 'photoshop.jsx'. That is the Adobe start up script for Photoshop.
