site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: Pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com Hi Bob, FxPlugs have always been loaded from /Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug and ~/Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug. Other types of plugins (After Effects, FXScripts) are loaded from Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins. FxPlugs have a different path because they are meant to be used by multiple applications, not just Final Cut. There's no secret way of preventing a particular plugin from loading, other than removing it from one of the plugin paths. If you have a bundle with multiple plugins, and just want to disable some in the bundle, you'd have to edit the bundle's plist. - Paul On Jun 10, 2010, at 11:04 AM, Bob Currier wrote:

I'm trying to resolve some installer issues dealing with older versions of FCP, older versions of plug-ins, etc. with the goal of being as "automatic" as possible. To that end, I have a couple questions:

- Is there a way to keep an FxPlug from loading, along the lines of how After Effects ignores plug-ins if you put parentheses around the filename?

- What is the history of plug-in search paths across FCP versions? The official location for FxPlugs is now "/Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug" (and the user equivalent), but in the past "Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins" was also searched. In fact, in FCP 7.02 I have some older plug-ins which are successfully loading from Application Support, although it won't load my plug-ins from there.
