Orson,

After an extensive bit of work at WWDC, I did manage to port my Photoshop plugins to XCode/Mach-O. The project is interlaced with a bunch of my other code (I have a whole abstraction layer built on top of the plugin interface), so I can't easily pare it down to a "dummy" filter... but I can probably help you troubleshoot problems you encounter while switching. The whole transition is practically moot until an XCode Universal Binary Plugin SDK is released; I'm still using Codewarrior/CFM for everyday development. (And of course, CW/ CFM maintains backwards-compatibility with PSCS / PS7.) The CW compiler also generates faster and tighter PPC code, in my experience; XCode was 40% slower for my filters on first recompile, improving to about 5-10% slower after extensive fiddling, but YMMV. What concerns me most is the the transition of all my Altivec code to SSE; I have a ton of Altivec-specific optimizations that have no obvious SSE equivalent. At least the NEXT transition AFTER x86 will therefore have to be an improvement... right? ;-)

Photoshop CS2 is a Mach-o Carbon app. But they haven't released an updated SDK yet, which should include example projects for building Mach-o plug-ins.

Does anyone know if XCode can be used for Photoshop CS2 plugins.



Aren't the various Photoshop apps all CFM Carbon apps? If I'm correct, then the answer is no.
