Loading script into PSE 8 or 12

I loaded the script --Scatter Things---, but when I open PSE 8, I get an error "Java Code Script missing". I've used it before but not since my latest hard drive failure.

 

I though maybe I need to create a new MetaDatabase file, but can't find it.

What program are you using? I'm on a Mac so not sure what the Windows path is, but if you let us know, someone should be able to help you. In the meantime, have you checked the SG free ScrapSimple Handbook found HERE? In my recollection you can find the path in the book!

 

PS I just looked and it appears if this is an action, those instructions begin on page 49. Good luck and let us know if you need more help! :)

Hi Txtrisha,

 

What platform are you running on - Windows XP, Vista/Windows 7, MAC?

 

I know scripts can be a little tricky because in addition to the .png (thumbnail), and .atn (action) files, they also include a .jsx (script) file which needs to be copied to a different folder than the .atn and .png files.

I have the instruction sheet for installing the scripts, which gives the paths to copy the files to, and the location of the MediatDatabase.db3, which you will probably have to delete or rename, but in addition to knowing you are using PSE 8, I need to know the platform - Windows XP, Vista/Windows 7, and MAC each have a different set of instructions. Soooo, if you can let me know what you have, I may be able to help you.

My script is CVA_SSTools_Scripts Scatter Things for Win7. I'm using PSE8 (I also have PSE12, but don't use it as much because I'm not as familiar with it). I used to use the script on a Vista platform and it worked fine. I have ScrapGirls instruction sheet that says to put the jsx in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\ Photoshop Elements. Isn't that rather vague? While trying to do the install, I shut down the program and restarted and it crashes.

 

Can I reinstall the program? Do I have to uninstall first? If I do that, I lose all of my ScrapGirls add ins, right?.

Hi, are you using Windows 7 now?
