Griddify

It's a tiny photoshop panel to make guides and grids. Download and see the tutorial here.

Bugs and Feature Requests

Firstly, thank you for wanting to contribute! If you have any features/improvements in mind, or if something isn't working, just open an issue.

Compatibility with CS4/5/6

We're working on a CS6 version, and it might be possible to get it working with CS4/5. Track the progress in this issue.

Development

PRs are more than welcome! Griddify depends on photoshopjs-core to command photoshop and also on photoshopjs-panel to create the interface of the panel. These projects currently only support the requirements of Griddify, and they'll be further developed as we work on Griddify and a couple of other Photoshop panels, which means if you wanna add a feature to Griddify, you probably gonna have to take a look at those too.

Here, I'll describe how you can develop griddify:

First, the requirements:

Beside Photoshop CC, you need to have ruby/compass if you want to change the css, and you need nodejs if you wanna change the scripts.

Preparing the dev environment:

Get a clone of the repo and then install with npm:

$ git clone https://github.com/pixana/griddify
$ cd griddify
$ npm install

Then, create a symlink from this directory to where you installed griddify:

On Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions
On Windows: %APPDATA%\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4\extensions (You might have to create the extensions folder)

You also need to enable the debug mode in Adobe applications. Quoting from this article:

On Mac, open the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.CSXS.4.plist and add a row with key PlayerDebugMode, of type String, and value 1.

On Windows, open the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/CSXS.4 and add a key named PlayerDebugMode, of type String, and value 1.

Now, if everything has worked, when you restart Photoshop CC you should be able to see the panel in the Window > Extensions menu.

Developing

To watch the files for changes:

In OSX: (could someone please test this?)
$ npm run watch

In windows:
$ npm run winwatch

The extendscript stuff are in the scripts/coffee/commands directory and the script for the interface is in scripts/coffee/panel/panel.coffee.
