Hi,

I guess you need to change the type of your plugin from FxFilter to FxGenerator in Info.plist->ProPlugPlugInList->protocolNames

Hi everybody,

I try to create a generative plugin with FxPlugin. I am using FxPlug SDK
3.1.1 on OSX 10.12.4

First I create an empty FxPlug project with XCode (8.3.2). Then I change
the base class to
@interface FilmstroFxPlugPlugIn : NSObject <FxGenerator>

and adapt the frameSetup removing RenderInfo, that the FxGenerator doesn't
have:
- (BOOL)frameSetup:(FxRenderInfo)renderInfo
hardware:(BOOL *)canRenderHardware
software:(BOOL *)canRenderSoftware

and also the renderOutput removing the inputImage:
- (BOOL)renderOutput:(FxImage *)outputImage
withInfo:(FxRenderInfo)renderInfo

For a start I commented everything out and return YES.

The project builds fine, no warnings (except the documentation inside the
SDK).

Then I link from products the .fxplug into /Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug/

But pluginkit doesn't show the plugin. pluginkit -a finishes without a
message. But still pluginkit -m doesn't list the plugin.

I can run the Application as well, but it shows only an empty window, as I
didn't implement anything there.

How can I troubleshoot, why it is not showing up?

N.B. I had a version showing up, but then I realised, that my changes
didn't have any effect, so I removed all traces by hand.
Now I tried to start over, but now I don't even see an empty plugin.
I used XCodes "New FxPlug project", so the GUIDs should be unique.

Thanks for help,
Daniel
