Adobe Photoshop CS3 Scripting Guide Photoshop CS3 Action Manager 73 ➤ To uninstall the ScriptListener: 1. Close Photoshop CS3. 2. Verify that a copy of the file ScriptListener.8li still exists in the ..\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Scripting Guide\Utilities folder. 3. Delete the file ScriptListener.8li from the following location: ..\Adobe Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\Automate 4. Delete the log files ScriptingListenerJS.log and ScriptingListenerVB.log from your desktop. Note: In Windows, even though you remove the ScriptListener from the Automate folder, it may continue to record actions. To prevent the ScriptingListenerJS.log file from becoming too large, delete it each time you finish playing a Photoshop CS3 action. Action Manager Scripting Objects The objects Action Descriptor, Action List, and Action Reference are part of the Action Manager functionality. For detailed information about these objects, see the appropriate reference manual, or use the object browser for the language you are using. Note: These objects are not available in AppleScript.
