Today I’d like to tell you about Configurator Reloaded, a Photoshop panel by Thomas Zagler, who revives the idea of Adobe Configurator (the original one).

Davide Barranca — April 29, 2017 — 6 Comments

Recently, running the ZXPSignCmd command line utility to sign and timestamp HTML Panels has proved to cause errors – also for users of Adobe Configurator 4, which relies on it behind the scenes to export the (Flash) panel as ZXP. Quick fix as follows.
