[In progress] Turn off clipboard watcher automatically

Hi, would it be possible to write a plugin that turns off the clipboard watcher when a certain program (well, Photoshop) is running and/or starts?

Hm i would say that you could use the JD API once the next MAJOR update is out to deactivate it using a little selfmade script.
...but for a better answer better wait for a comment of a developer!

I've always thought you were a developer. Is your woman doing the work?

BTW, I like your avatar. Did you create it yourself?

Yes some solution would be great, i always forget turing it off when i start editing my photos and am hugly annoyed if all my work is suddenly gone.

Maybe i shoud write a bat file that prints an onscreen message like "dont forget to turn off JDs clipboard monitor" and link it with Photoshop.

I think the Photoshop crash is due to a bug in that program's clipboard handling. It's not jD's fault. Why don't you contact Odabe?

I dont really care whos fault it is, and i wont buy CS6 because it might have fixed this.

I just need some kind of system that warns me to turn it off when starting PS. :D

adobe already contacted us and said they are working on this...

[pspzockerscene]

Really?
Ha they needed a long time to respond^^

doubtful that will come from jdownloader development team, as we would have to implement system monitoring for windows + mac + nix? just to support said feature in JD. Considering this bug isn't ours why spend time on work around like this.

[Jiaz]

we dont have enough time to create such a special addon. any 3rd party dev is welcomed to dev it. its a bug in adobe and why should we spend more time to fix it. why not adobe who gets a lot of money for photoshop and seems not to care to fix this.

[niemand]

You dont have to fix it either, but maybe you have an idea how to work arround it. Like is there a key combination to turn clipboard moinitoring on or off, maybe if there is it could be send to JD by a batch file starting with photoshop. I dont know, there must be some ways.

[Jiaz]

that is easily possible
to enable/disable it via commands/batch files

if someone puts some time to find all the running processes of the os, we can also add this like an addon, but i only have no time to do this research myself. help is welcomed and then i can also code an addon easy

[niemand]

How would that batch command have to look like?

And what do you mean by "all he running processes of the os"?

[Jiaz]

we (jdownloader) need to get a list of all running processes to see that adobe is running. and that's not that easy.
i also would contact adobe support to fix this...it's been long time they contacted us for information and then nothing
