My old code did work in Motion 2. (It originally took some weird voodoo to get it working reliably there, which made the code a mess... That's why I was eager to do a rewrite.) FloatingWindow isn't useful as a comparison because it simply crashes Motion 2.1.2. (Looks like it goes into an infinite loop in CFRelease; I didn't have time to do any debugging yet.) I wish I could simply decide not to support Motion 2, but the previous version of Final Cut Studio is so widespread that it doesn't seem like a realistic option. Any ideas on how to get FloatingWindow working on Motion 2 would be greatly appreciated. Well, the most straightforward thing to do would be to detect whether you're in Motion 2 and use the old code path that worked if you are, otherwise use the newer code path. Is that possible to do? I suppose it is. The old code path is weird and contrived, the result of experimental voodoo years ago; I was hoping to do a complete housecleaning of the FxPlug code and finally throw it away, but looks like I'll have to keep it in the attic for now. FxHostCapabilities' methods -hostIsMotion and -hostVersionNumber is the proper way to detect the old host, right? It should be, but to be honest, I don't remember off the top of my head when we added those. Looking through our source repository, it appears that it was there in the Motion 2.1.2 timeframe, so I think you're OK using them. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
