    Hi
    In Designer go to UTILITIES > OPTIONS > EFFECTS AND PLUGINS and Set Folders for Plugins and Effects. Once done they should be available via the list of Live Effects (Live Effects Tool).

    Hi Keith.

    If things are not working, then it's likely that you haven't got the 'plug-in' folder path set up correctly.

    On the menu bar at the top, click on 'Utilities' and then on 'Options...'
    You will see the Options menu open up (shown in the attached image).

    Click on the 'Effects & Plugins' tab.
    Where is says 'Photoshop Plugins', click on the 'Setup...' button.

    When the Setup box opens up, this should show you where your plugins need to be installed.

    (You can see the path, where my plugins are installed.)

    If this is not set up, then click the 'Add folder...' button and navigate to, and select the folder, where you intend to install your plugins and click the 'OK' button to enter the folder in the setup box.
    Click 'OK' and you should be done!

    This is in Designer Pro 7 but I think it should be similar in Photo & Graphic Designer 7

    Edit: OK. Derek sneaked up when I wasn't looking and gave you the answer first!

    Can I make another suggestion only really use Plugins that work with PS version 7! I use to have a fair selections of plugins in my folder but it made Xara D P 7 very sluggish indeed so I now only have what was supplied and installed with a few others.
    Design is thinking made visual.

    following on from what has been said - if you set up plugins as suggested you can switch them in and out easily if they are organised in folders and so get over the resource-hogging hopefully

    I have actually done this with the supplied plugins where practical [but I would take care to backup first if you do this]

    Thanks for the help everyone. But I am still having problems. I set up the path as follows:

    c:\Program Files (x86)\Xara\Xara-Photo_Graphic_Designer_7\Xara Picture Edtitor\PSplug-ins\Downloaded Plug-ins\

    It still doesn't show the plugin I added in the downloaded folder. The AV Bros, Redfield, and Mehdi plugins are also subfolders of "PSplug-ins" (that is how it comes from XARA). I added the new subfolder "Downloaded Plugins", and I then copied a download PS plugin into the "Downloaded Plug-in" folder. I then closed Xara Photo and Graphic Designer 7 and then reopened it. But when I go to the Live Effects tool as Masque stated above I do not even see the selection of "Downloaded Plug-ins" that I added. I see the AV Bros, Redfiel, and Mehdi, but not the "Downloaded Plug-ins," which is weird because they are folders on the same level.

    I would appreciate any help. Again thanks for everyone's help so far.

    I remember only PS 5.5 plugins would work if your using native plugins. The structure was changed in version 6. PS compatible plugins mostly work. If they don't show, then they aren't compatible. Not everything that works in PS will work in Xara. AutoFX plugins are an example. Things that use layers, masks and selections probably won't work either. I cannot say about Graphic 7.

    Hi,
    Open Xara Designer Pro...got to Plugins and open plugins> Select setup and browse to your folder ....download Plugins...select that then click 'create'...Xara will make a Xar info file. Now up on top select new and a fly out will open which if everything went correctly your plugin should be there.If not go to setup again and navigate to ...downlaod Plugins and see if that has sub directory...if it does then select that folder and then click 'create'. some times when you install plugins to your own directory the plugin installer creates its own directory within the one you chose.

    On the Photo and Graphic Designer 7, there is not a button called "create". After I browsed to my folder, I clicked "ok", and then "apply". But it still did not show.

    Actually it's called 'Add Folder', Keith. Perhaps I can help with showing you via a short video of installing plugins in Photo & Graphic Designer 7?
