DUH? How do I get installed plug-ins to work

[wfcentral]

okay, just so I'm clear...

when you install a plugin
- point to the folder it's in (there is no way to point to the file...)
- then it should show up when you {select bitmap, click the plug-in tool, click new... it should be there in the drop down with the others?}

I have a separate plugin folder for external plugins. There are plugin folders with other applications as well. I point to specific folders to access particular plugins. If I pointed to the main folder, everything would show. If you point to a Photoshop plugin folder, you would see most of the filters. The PS filters may show, but may not work.

I extracted the Kiwi plugins to a folder, and pointed to that folder. These are just extracted from a zip file.

I would expect you would see the plugin listed. Make sure the files are where you expect them to be.

I did all this and I still can't see them anywhere...

Remember X1 and Xtreme are two separate installations. Each has its own plugin setup. Just in case your setting up from the other version. Rich

Nope, I'm using the setup button inside Xtreme to do the setup.

Of course I just thought of something - I'm using the DEMO... I have not purchased it yet... I wanted to see everything work before I bought it (even though I know I'm gonna buy it...)

Could that be the problem? that it doesn't work in DEMO version?

Hi,
I just downloaded the Kiwi plugin, and I installed it in own directory, I currently use CorelPhoto paint version 12 and it doesn't recognize the plugin either. I don't know if it will work with XaraXtreme or I'm missing something also.

So I just tried the Kiwi filters (which are indeed freeware) on my computer at home, and they are working like a charm in Xtreme.

Go figure!
