Please make sure to use dist folder and NOT uxp folder.

If I use manisfest inside dist folder it fails due invalid json. Howver if I use uxp folder it loads in UXP but when going to PS I just see a window saying: "are you sure you want to use uxp instead of dist folder?" but I cannot accept or refuse, just close the dialog

Same issue here. The manifest.json file in the dist folder seems like invalid JSON.

Ahh, I think I found the solution:

Download the source from the releases https://github.com/jardicc/alchemist/releases/tag/2.7.0

...not from the zip download on the front page of the repo.

In the releases download, dist/manifest.json is actual JSON, and loading it in UXP seems to actually launch the expected plugin in Photoshop.

I wanted to make repo more performant using LFS... but people are installing repo link files instead plugin itself... so I will probably change it back.

I was referred to a download from a popular YouTube video on UXP, so that’s why I tried downloading the repo link instead of a release. It might be why others have experienced this, too.

So I changed setting in this repo and hopefully it should work now same as before.
