site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com Lyndon, There’s no official support for publishing parameter groups at this time. However, I’m told there is a way to do it by hand-editing the .moef file, though I’ve never done it myself. Perhaps someone else on the list could point out how it works? The second issue may be a bug. I’ll need to ask design about that. It may be that allowing plug-ins to change the UI without the user’s consent is not supported because that would be surprising to users, but I’m not sure. Darrin

Hi Guys,
Two questions please:
1. How to publish compound parameters in Motion 5 (latest version) ?
I am following the instructions at https://support.apple.com/kb/PH16056?locale=en_US both the shortcut menu and "animation menu” have the publish option but it is greyed out.
The long version of the above:
I did a [FxParameterCreationAPI startParameterSubGroup] in my FxFilter addParameters method. There are some parameters inside the subgroup. This allows the user to neatly collapse or open the group of parameters in the inspector part of Motion and FCPX. If I try to publish the subgroup parameter in Motion, I get the menu as shown in the first picture of the support page above, but the publish option is disabled. I don’t want to publish these parameters individually.
The Motion 5 user manual https://help.apple.com/motion/mac/5.0/help/English/en/motion/usermanual/inde... provides the same instructions as the other page.
2. How to expand a collapsed compound parameter group programatically ?
In my FxFilter parameterChanged method I can set the flag kFxParameterFlag_COLLAPSED on a parameter subgroup to collapse it, but setting the parameter flags to kFxParameterFlag_DEFAULT does not expand it again. I’m pretty sure I tried all the other flags, but did not get any success.
I am using FxPlug 3.
thanks in advance,
