Plug-Ins

[Sheff]

Why don't we start a list of which photoshop plug ins work and which ones don't?

I've gotten KPT 3 plugins to work with Xara 2, but not Xara X.

I've often had to copy plugin.dll to the Xara directories, but I'm not sure which one I should be using. There are different plugin.dlls with Photoshop 6 and 5.5.

Any tips?

There's no guarantee that either will work with the beta, however if the later DLL has the same file name, the usual convention is that it's backwards compatible as far as third party software is concerned. That said, if the new file isn't roughly the same size or bigger than the old one, chances are that some of the functions have been hived off to another DLL. If that's the case, it probably won't work unless the other file is also present.

There's no easy way of telling which would work best with Xara, but since there are only two, why not try both in turn?
