Hello Keith,

Yes, Xcode fixes a couple of the issues. In particular, custom executables are now edited in the Get Info panel, just as targets and the project settings are. So the Get Info context menu (as well as the menu item under File) should work.

I agree with you about the "Add to Project" popup; because we use the same assistant panel regardless of whether you invoke the menu item with or without a selection in the groups-and-files outline, that popup is always there. That's of course a bit redundant if you invoked it through the contextual menu.

As for launching CFM applications, I had trouble getting that to work directly in Xcode 1.5. What I was able to do, however, is to use the LaunchCFM command line tool to launch Photoshop. Here's what I did:

1) create a new custom executable

2) set the path of the executable to be /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/Current/Support/ LaunchCFMApp

3) set the first argument to be /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 7/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 7.0/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 7.0

Then I am able to launch Photoshop from within Xcode. This of course assumes that you have Photoshop 7 -- adjust the path accordingly if you have a different version.

Xcode should of course be able to launch CFM executables directly; I have filed a bug report about that so that we can fix it in a future release.

Are any of these problems fixed in 1.5?

I'm building a twain plugin and need to run Photoshop as my host application.

So I found "Executables / Add / New Custom Executable", which brings up an
Assistant that has a popup menu "Add to Project". Why is that there -- I'm
already explicitly adding this to my project (which is the only selection in the
popup menu)?


After adding this "executable" to the project, context menu "Get Info"
doesn't work to edit it, but "Open in External Window" does.

More importantly, "Build and Debug" does a build and link (no errors), but
doesn't launch Photoshop.


How can it get the xcode 1.2 debugger to attach to a running application?
