There is no specific plugin method that does the deserialization since that's handled for you, but your plugin might ask for the deserialized data in the -parameterChanged:, -createViewForParm: or one of the -renderOutput:... methods. You get the deserialized data like this: id getParamAPI = [_apiManager apiForProtocol:@protocol (FxParameterRetrievalAPI)]; NSDictionary* customSettings= nil; [getParamAPI getCustomParameterValue:&customSettings MyCustomParameterID]; I've been away for a couple of weeks. Thanks for all the information but there is still a piece I am missing. What callback is made to deserialize the data for custom UI elements? And can you point me to an example of this? There isn't, but if you have a custom parameter, you will get called to deserialize its data. You could do what you need to do at that time. As a plugin is getting re-instated during an "Open Project..." (boot), is there an methods which get called, which we can hook into? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
