I have a script that creates a document with 50 pages while showing a progress bar in a palette window and it works fine.
If I create a menu and run it from there the progress bar doesn´t update until the pages are created.
I´ve had this problem for a really long time and it´s time to get this sorted out. The thing is that it used to work before an update long ago. It works on PC but not on mac.
#targetengine "Testing"
var test_menu = app.menus.item('$ID/Main').submenus.add('Test');
var menu_item = app.scriptMenuActions.add('Create document...');
menu_item.eventListeners.add('onInvoke', function()
{
app.documents.add(); var w = new Window('palette'); w.pbar = w.add('progressbar', undefined, 0, 50); w.pbar.preferredSize.width = 300; w.show(); for( var i = 1; i <= 50; i++ ) { w.pbar.value = i; app.activeDocument.pages.add(); $.sleep(20); }
});
test_menu.menuItems.add( menu_item );
