Hi Florian,

I just tried this and oddly enough, when I show the window like this and call [NSApp run] to start the event loop, the crash doesn't seem to occur. Can't say 100% sure yet, because it doesn't happen all the time, but it hasn't happened yet, while I can easily get the crash using a modal window. So, it looks like this could be the solution. Thanks!

Best regards,
Frederik Slijkerman

Hi Frederik,

Have you tried wiring your window to an IBOutlet of your Controller and displaying it with [window makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil]; ?

This works for me anyway.

HTH,
Florian.

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a Photoshop plugin with a Cocoa user interface, but I'm running into a persistent problem: after closing the plugin window, Photoshop crashes 90% of the time with the following call stack:

#0 0xa04590d8 in _XHNDL_trapback_instruction
#1 0xbf800fac in ??
#2 0x917ea9a2 in __CFRunLoopDoObservers
#3 0x917ebcfc in CFRunLoopRunSpecific
#4 0x917eccd8 in CFRunLoopRunInMode
#5 0x969f42c0 in RunCurrentEventLoopInMode
#6 0x96aa7904 in GetNextEventMatchingMask
#7 0x96aa7766 in WNEInternal
#8 0x96aa76c5 in WaitNextEvent

I've tried every suggestion I could find. The main plugin is a Carbon bundle that locates the Cocoa bundle that actually contains the core plugin as suggested here:
http://furbo.org/2008/07/08/plug-ins-the-cocoa-way/


The Cocoa bundle exports a plugin entry point as a C function. The Carbon bundle calls this from its own entry point using CFBundleCreate / CFBundleGetFunctionPointerForName, but it never releases the Cocoa bundle since apparently Cocoa bundles should not be unloaded. The whole idea behind this, as far as I can see, is that Photoshop unloads the Carbon bundle, but does not unload the core Cocoa bundle.

Next, the Cocoa bundle calls NSApplicationLoad, displays an empty window using [NSApp runModalForWindow], then closes the window and returns. At this point, I get the aforementioned crash.

What am I doing wrong? Any pointers would be highly appreciated -- I've been staring at this for about three days now...

Best regards,
Frederik Slijkerman
