Hi,
i am just testing Designer Pro X 9 (have Pro X) and when trying to locate PS Plugin folder, i get the window "currently no 64Bit (8bf) support" "choose the 32Bit Version". I have Av. Bros. plugins, which are also available in 64 Bit.
Does anybody have infos, if this will be implemented in the future?
64bit plugins are not yet supported (sorry, I don't know why)
thanks for your reply,
i have the german versions of (Magix) Designer Pro X and Demo of Pro X9. Unfortunately all the other plugins which came with Pro X (Mehdi, Redfield),
are not available in the FX Menü, although they have been installed in C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Designer Pro X9\Xara Picture Editor\PSplug-ins.
Thats not so cool, releasing a 64 Bit Application, that isn't compatible with 64Bit plugs. So i wait for the upgrade.
Pro X (ver 8) is 32-bit. Its plugins do not work with the 64-bit Pro X (ver 9).
Yes, the OP is aware of this. He is explaining that with the 64bit DPX9 installation comes;
• AV Bros Page Curl
• Medhi set: 'eraser classic/fur/grain natural/hslplus/melt'
• Redfield set: 'Craquelure/Jama3D/LatticeComposer/SeamlessWorkshop/WaterRipples'
All of which are 32bit plugins, which are as useless as teats on a bull with the 64bit version, so it's pointless that they are included.
Additionally, DPX9 64bit will not host 64bit plugins if you have them. Again, this is strange - because other than access to greater than 4Gb system memory for websites which include lot's of digital photography at two resolutions (standard and retina) in order to avoid the dreaded OOM, one would have hoped that the ability to work with large res bitmaps that can be loaded and have plugin filter effects applied would also benefit from access to the extra memory. Clearly not the case this time around.
As welcome as it is, it appears that the 64bit version is par-baked.
The Fx menu button is new to v9, v8 and older it used the plug icon.
I would assume the installation is just not distinguishing between the 64-bit and 32-bit installations and plops them into the folder regardless of which-bit installation.
RE 64-bit. Xara has the opportunity to remove the mem barrier--and the artificial size limitation. I am not holding out hope either gets sorted. I can actually output a larger file in v.7 than I can in v.9. Good thing I have CD installed. I have more trade banners to do over the next month.
Thing is, the 64bit installation and sub folders (which include the 32bit filters mentioned) are in a completely different program files path to 32bit installations.Quote:

I agree, it's unfathomable that we are still knobbled by this restrictionQuote:

I just got the Info, that Designer Pro X 9 64 Bit will be 64 Bit Plugins compatible somewhat at end of October.Quote:

There is no way 32-bit plugins will run in a 64-bit application, they weren't designed to.

Sorry, but this is incorrect, so whoever told you that was mistaken. We have no plans to add support for 64bit plug-ins for V9. If there is large demand for 64bit plug-in support, we could consider adding this for a future release, but my understanding is that given the many more 32bit plug-ins available, support for 32bit plug-ins would be considered by most users to be more important. And on that subject we are looking at a possible solution to make 32bit plug-ins work with the 64bit versions of Designer. But I can't say at this stage if or when this would be released as a V9 update.
Sorry for the cooling of expectations!

Oh, :'(, but who else should know it if not you?.Quote:

That is missleading in some way, or? I thought, 64 bit plugins will work, when reading this.
