Photoshop CS5 Extended not finding the plugin #17

Closed BeeVee23 closed 3 years ago

BeeVee23 commented 4 years ago

I know this is a really old version but it performs ably for my needs. If there is a simple switch that can enable support for this version, I'd love it if you could fix the plugin?

Thanks,

I do not know what changes need to be made to support older versions and as stated in issue #6 I do not have access to anything but the latest Photoshop versions so I cannot adapt WebPShop to anything but these, sorry. However feel free to build and fix WebPShop if you are able to.

Thanks for the reply, I thought it would be the case :) My coding skills are sub-optimal for doing my own version...

All the best,

If you feel brave enough one day, here are a few leads you might try:

Add #define LOG_TO_FILE "path/to/debugging/log" in WebPShop.h to print what is going on and potential helpful error messages to a file.
Add tags that could improve backward compatibility in the resource file WebPShop.r.
See if the entry point is even called.
Take a look at Photoshop logs, in case there is something valuable in them (never happened to me).
Compare with a plugin that works fine (such as Telegraphics WebPFormat).

Well, I can confirm that the Telegraphics plug in for Photoshop CS4 works fine and creates a file. However when the file is uploaded to a web server, the server is unable to serve it up in HTML pages. Here is a link to the webp image https://www.dogsindanger.com/doggie/images/dogsindangerDog_mobile.webp. What's the deal?
