First of all, thank you so much for node-photoshop.

Have been playing around with it on Mac OSX and it works fantastic.

Yesterday, I wanted to install node-photoshop on a Windows Server and ran into some compatibility issues.

Do you think your version is portable to Windows? I can give it a try if you think it can be done. Tips?

Thanks!

Guillermo

The ExtendScript code is probably portable to Windows. But the communication between node.js and Adobe apps on the Mac currently relies on AppleScript (the horror!) to get the initial communication going. It would take some work to come up with a way to do that part on Windows, but I'm sure it's technically possible.

Unfortunately I'm still stuck on Mac OS X for the foreseeable future. I want to switch to Windows 10 for much of my work, but that's not happening yet because of reasons

@subtleGradient un-relative question, just curiously , why you want to switch to Windows 10, does Win 10 make doing stuff like node-photoshop more advantages ?

I want to run photoshop on a server to pre process tens of thousands of photos a day. Doing that now on a smaller scale (still server side), but with kind of a hack. The node.js solution seems much more scalable.

I'd like to move to Windows 10 because it works so well on tablets and laptops and gaming PCs and stuff. It would be especially good for Photoshop since you can get cheap devices with Wacom pen screens. The iPad doesn't have Pro software and PC games and then you need a completely separate device that costs way more than a decent Windows convertible tablet.

@subtleGradient Based on the commit history, i'm assuming there isn't really support for windows yet, but do you think you'll add that at some point in time?

Unfortunately I don't have any plans for it. But if you check out the Facebook Keyframes project, it includes the core bits of a completely new rewrite that does have some Windows support. But I can't help right now. Sorry

@subtleGradient I'll definitely check out the keyframes project. And no worries, I appreciate the response 👍 😄
