site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com I hear you. Imagine trying to *fix* this bug without knowing when/where/how it’s happening! By coincidence, I just hit this personally and figured out something that might be useful to others on the list. I installed FxFactory to test a fix in FCPX and none of the FxFactory plug-ins were loading. Checking “pluginkit -mAvD -p FxPlug” at the command line revealed that there were 2 copies loaded. One from /Applications, and one from another disk. I deleted the one from the other disk and suddenly it started working again. It seems that there was something off about the one on the other disk and when the OS would try to load it, it would just silently fail. This probably doesn’t fix all instances of this problem, but might be worth looking into when you hit this while debugging. Xcode, for example, will sometimes create an all new directory to put your build products in and the old ones will still be there. Perhaps that’s causing some confusion to the system, similar to what I just experienced in some cases? Darrin

This has been an ongoing issue we’ve been trying to isolate. If you could file a bug report with an example project, that would be enormously helpful in figuring out what’s going wrong. Same to anyone else seeing this. We need more data!

I copied my compiled fxplug .app to my Applications folder and run: pluginkit -a testFXPlug.app/Contents/PlugIns/* in terminal. I open Motion, create the motion effect and everything works perfectly in FCPX... for a while. Then it might be after a restart or just after a few hours, FCPX won't see it anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, can anyone give me ideas for the best way to debug an FXPlug plugin? Thanks so much!!
