Hello, I’m looking for a way to run an application from Adobe XD plugin (like Zeplin does - it exports selected artboard and then launches Zepplin application). I tried to find something in Adobe XD documentation and Adobe XD samples, but didn’t manage to do that. I also know that I can register …

Hi @Velara , probably I’m missing something to make it work (I’m on Mac) var openLocationLink = h(“a”, {href:“”}, “Open”); what does that ‘h’ mean?

@PaoloBiagini It’s some sort of micro-library for creating DOM objects (cf. https://github.com/AdobeXD/plugin-samples/tree/master/ui-hello-h ). Edit: It also seems to be known (if that’s the same, I’m not quite sure :wink:) under the name ‘hyperscript’ (see https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript ). …

thank you very much @pklaschka , I will check that as soon as possible.

Wow – lots of great discussion on here… apologies for not getting in on this earlier, but it’s been a hectic week! Anyway – to the points here, this is something we do have to be very careful about. It’s not so much specific developers we’re worried about here (after all, I don’t think anyone on th…

[image] pklaschka: It’s some sort of micro-library for creating DOM objects (cf. https://github.com/AdobeXD/plugin-samples/tree/master/ui-hello-h ). That’s about right but it is only a single function that is used in some of the plugin examples to create elements for your UI. It’s the same a…

many thanks for all explanations! I directly inserted the h function inside my main.js but, calling this function the folder doesn’t open in Finder (‘exportFolder’ being set early in the code) function openExportFolder() { var openLocationLink = h("a", {href:""}, "Open"); openLocationLink.…

This is not the same as shell.openExternal() and you don’t have to use h. You have to create a hyperlink in your plugin’s UI and then when the user clicks on it it will open your folder. So something like this: /** * Shorthand for creating Elements. * @param {*} tag The tag name of the element. *…

Using hyperlink works, thank you @Velara ! Too bad we can’t use any hover/click effect to simulate a button.

@PaoloBiagini Did you test this on Windows? Just as a “warning”: I once tried to achieve this and it didn’t work on WIndows, so you might have to test if this really works on Windows machines (please note: I’m not saying it doesn’t work – I could also have done something wrong when I tried it – I’m …

hi @pklaschka , thank you. unfortunately I can’t make any test on a Windows system at the moment. Did you get a warning in the console?
