For Debugging Production Problems in ProSelect, we have recommend using Photoshop's ExtendScript Debugger which is a free 32-bit application from Adobe. However, this application will no longer run on OSX 10.15.x (Catalina) or newer and Adobe now recommends that you use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (VSC) instead. 

This article explains how to download, install, setup and use Visual Studio Code on your Mac.

Downloading & Installing VCS

1. Use this link Download Visual Studio Code for Mac (minimum OSX 10.10 or newer).

2. Unzip the download file to extract "Visual Studio Code.app" and drag this into your Applications folder.

Adding the ExtendScript Debugger Extension

1. Launch VSC from your Application folder.

2. Go to Preferences -> Extensions (under the Code menu)

3. In the text box in the top left corner type in "Extendscript" to search for the requiried extension. The one that you need is "ExtendScript Debugger" by Adobe.

4. Click the green Install button next to the applications name (see above screen shot) to download and install the extension.

Configuring OSX to automatically use VSC 

To automatically associate this application with Adobe JavaScript files (.jsx),

1. Navigate to folder

YourUserName -> Library -> Application Support -> ProSelect -> ProSelect Debug Data

(If you can't find the Library Folder see this KnowledgeBase Article: Missing Library Folder on Mac OSX.) 

2. You should see a file called "photoshop_script.jsx" in the folder. If not, open ProSelect and go to Preferences -> General Settings -> General -> Photo Editor and click the Test Photoshop Connection button. this should create this file.

3. Right-Click on the "photoshop_script.jsx" file and choose "Get Info" from the pop-up menu. 

4. Select Visual Studio Code.app from the dropdown menu and then click Change All button. 

5. Confirm that you wish to proceed with this change.
