Thanks for taking the time to do the video. I have did exactly what you showed on the video (that is what I had been doing), but it still nothing new shows on the plugin menu. I when I click "new" and then look for the plug-in. I don't know what else to do now. But thanks for taking the time to help.

Then I suggest that the plugin files you are adding are not *.8bf types. Nothing will be added to your plugin menu unless they are.

It is a .8bf type. I just downloaded the "Luce" plug-in from this site: http://tutorialdb.org/a-z-of-free-ph...s-and-filters/
And it does not show. As far as I know, I have followed all your directions right; I am not sure why it is not working.

Luce installs fine following the directions I gave above.
Though it doesn't work in Xara because this filter requires an active selection marquee which Xara doesn't do (because it's a vector application not a raster)

The entry in the plugin list in Xara is Amico Perry

I followed the steps. For some reason, it doesn't work for me. I have tried to call the support phone number listed in my manual. It rang to Magix. They said they couldn't help me and to contact Xara. Xara doesn't have a phone number on their web site. I sent a comment for help on their web site and have heard nothing. I am extremely dissappointed in Xara at this point. I cannot get in contact with them for help. I wish I had never purchased this now. The store I bought it from doesn't take returns on opened software, and Xara won't respond to me. I feel like I just wasted my money.
