Hi, Peder,
no offense taken. We certainly had some limitations in FCP 5, and
tried to address the majority of them in 6. Although we probably
would have done even better if we had Darrin on our team :)
I filed a bug about accessing params during UI events; we should
support this, since we let AE plugins do it. The bug # is 5170560;
it would be good to have this number for reference if you want to
check up on it.
I didn't mean to remain anonymous; I just removed my address from the
CC line so I wouldn't get this message twice. I would like to keep
the list CC'd on most threads, though, since most developers have
similar questions, and might be interested in our answers.
Thanks!

Paul,
Seems my comment about laziness was totally uncalled for, not only
because Darrin works on Motion, but also you made some major
improvements for v6.
Thanks for the doc, exactly what I needed!
I have a preview UI that I use in some products, it needs to access
its own params (and inputs) from other times during UI events, maybe
you can add that in the future too?
Maybe put a reply-to adress to list so we can just hit reply?
Peace,
Peder Norrby / Trapcode

Hi, Peder,
None of what you ask for (groups, enabling / disabling, supervising)
works in FCP 5.1.4, but it should all work in the upcoming version 6.
Here's a document which will be available with the FxPlug 1.2 SDK
which describes what's new with FxPlug in FCP 6, as well as the
limitations that we still have.
