My plist is named correctly; otherwise it wouldn't build. My bundle name matches the executable file and the principal class name. All my localized strings look correct. The build settings look equivalent to various working examples.

I had conflated changing the extension with getting FCE to load the fxplug, but that was irrelevant. It does not explain why my fxplug was loading, and now it is not (nor does it explain why the finder was displaying .fxplug.bundle products as lego bricks, and is now treating them as regular folders). UUIDs are not the issue; i tried regenerating them to no avail. I have one for the group (the first two occurrences in the plist) and another under protocolNames. Can you think of anything else that needs to be 'just so' for FCE to load the fxplug? I changed the name of the FxFilter class, moved a bunch of source files around to make room for another target, and then after realizing I had a problem, changed the name back to the original. Oops. I'm about ready to start with a fresh project and just reload everything, but I'm really curious as to which cranky bit I flipped.

I was able to fix this by changing the wrapper extension to 'fxplug.bundle' under Target Info -> Build -> Packaging. However, after making some changes to my project (adding an application target, fussing around with the filter target's name, and some other things that should have been preceded by a snapshot), Xcode started building a folder with the fxplug.bundle extension.

Obviously I'm missing something, but it's hard to tell because all of the developer examples also build folders instead of plugins. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

A rank-and-file Apple employee will not EVER comment on the future of a product. Are you sure you're thinking of the same company? 2. Motion strikes me as being very much a pixel-oriented program, not vector, and not very programmable 3. Particle Illusion is indeed very amazing. Only a little more amazing than it was when I first saw it 5 years ago in Combustion, and ten years ago when it was first released. It doesn't have anything to do with motion, necessarily. (You might want to take a look at Quartz Composer ... these are old but impress the hell out of me: http://www.zugakousaku.com/index.php?ref=study-quartz ) I had an interesting conversation from someone on this list the other day, I think it was Jon Bradley about motion.
