Hello. Sometimes, my python script fail with this error : "The message filter indicated that the application is busy." I don't understand because I don't touch application and sometimes the script fail and sometimes not. How can I manage busy error in my python script ? Is there anyway to know if application is busy ? Many thanks

Hi @djs45

How can I manage busy error in my python script ?

Avoid manual control of Photoshop while your script is running, it's a big execution improvement

Is there anyway to know if application is busy ?

There is no definite answer, application is busy is means Photoshop is doing something, for example, you are currently saving a file in Photoshop and you execute a script and a similar situation occurs

Another thing to avoid is minimizing the Photoshop window, the window doesn't have to be active but it does need to be open (not minimized to tray) to function properly
