    Default XPGD 2013 - How do you add a Plugin?

    I have been trying to install the Eye Candy plugin but cannot get XPGD 2013 to recognize the plugin.

    I ran the Alien Skin plugin and pointed it to the Plugins subdirectory under the Xara program folder. What the heck am I doing wrong?

    I have run the install procedure several times but the Plugin never shows up in XPGD. When the install asked for the folder I pointed to the Plugins folder under the Xara Picture Editor folder under the Xara software folder.

    It never shows up when I click on the Live Effects drop down list.

    I am running Windows 8 and do not have any other programs like Photoshop.

    Dave, I'd try re-installing the Alien Skin software, but create a new folder first, and then point it to the new folder.

    Sometimes programs like plug-ins are "looking" for Photoshop, and perhaps the plug-in didn't successfully install to the already-created folder because it was nested within an existing filter.

    I have a folder on my HD that I use exclusively for third party plug-ins. And to the best of my knowledge, XDP8 is reading most of them.

    My Best,

    Gary

    Where do you have that folder? Did you then use the Setup link under Live Effects to point to that folder?

    Hi, I believe they only work in the 32 bit version...

    Tried that and several other approaches and it never shows up in the app. I cannot remember how I installed the Displacement Map plugin but have tried to duplicate what I see for that one as well and nothing seems to be working for me.

    I have the Displacement Map one working but cannot get the other one to work. What if I download the 32 bit version then?

    artyboots got it in one, Dave:






    The reason I was able to do that screen snag was because that was taken in XDP 8, which supports 32 bit.

    Hi guys I have merged these two threads together so we can all discuss this in the same thread

    Are you installing into Designer Pro? or one of the new Web Designer versions? And which version of Eye Candy are you installing?
