While we are processing psd files there are situations when we need to provide an empty string for the text value.

Code:
psdProcessor.StringCallback = (processor, textFrame) => {

	if(textFrame.Text == "PET NAME")
		return GetPetNameFromDatabase();

	return textFrame.Text;
};

For instance, we have one text layer that provides a Name, and another with their Pet Name. If they don't have a Pet Name I'm returning string.Empty, but that throws an ArgumentNullException.

Code:
Message: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: text

Aurigma.GraphicsMill.AdvancedDrawing.Graphics.DrawText(Text text):21
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Templates.PsdProcessor.RenderText(PsdTextFrame frame):673
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Templates.PsdProcessor.RenderFrame(PsdFrame frame):23
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Templates.PsdProcessor.CreateContainer(PsdFrame frame):46
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Templates.PsdProcessor.CreateContainer(Stream psdStream):103
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Templates.PsdProcessor.Render(Stream psdStream, Stream outStream, WriterSettings writerSettings):42

How can we return an empty string or flag the layer to not be rendered? Unfortunately this is crucial to our processing/logic.

Hi,

Try to return "\0" (which is the Unicode null character) value instead of string.Empty.

Regards,

Andrew
