How to make plugin resident on Mac OS?

Does anyone have a way to do this? It has to work for both automate and filter plugins.
I've tried the following:
1. Persistent property in PiPl. This works for automate plugins in CS3, but not CS2. It doesn't seem to work for filter plugins.
2. Call SPAccess AcquirePlugin() on own plugin ref. This is documented to work but always returns !Acq. This is weird because GetPluginAccess() works fine (but doesn't bump the reference count.)
3. Use SPPlugins to hunt through list returned by GetRuntimePluginList() so I can have one of my plugins find the other and load it and vice versa. My plugins are not in this list. In fact it's almost empty.
4. Try using CFBundle functions to keep the executable loaded. Doesn't work.

1) This indeed was the case when we last tested bundled automation/filter: unloading filter also unloads the automation regardless of its persistent PIPL property. As I've said in the previous post, to the best of my knowledge only dirty low-level hooks can prevent this from happening. As this is certainly not the most maintainable or safe way of doing it, if you can structure your plugin so that you don't have to go through this pain and risk having it broken in each new release, I'd certainly suggest so. This whole problem, btw, was introduced only either in CS3 or CS4 and wans't present in older releases.
2) I have a de ja vue about trying this approach, but as I don't remember the result it probably didn't help. This being said, we researched it sometime circa CS or CS2 and things do tend to change from version to version.
3) Well, all what's left for us to do is to keep filing bug reports in each beta cycle, hoping that one day Adobe gods will smile at us and all what's broken will magically get fixed... On the other hand, I cannot really second your claim that sSPSuites is "entirely broken" - it actually does work well for us: we can publish suites and successfully communicate between plugins.

How to make plugins of plugins

Hey all,
This article (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-19176) does a decent job of walking through how to use plugins with a packed project library (PPL) system. I'd like to go a little further, if possible. How does one make plugins of plugins? For example, if I have a fruit plugin interface, I might have a banana plugin, apple, rasperry, etc. I then would want to make some plugins for the banana plugin -- peel, taste, eat. I may want taste and eat for apple, as well as juice for raspberry. Is this wonderful mess even possible? My current thought would be to just make a generic fruitAction plugin interface and have a fruit's actions stored within a subfolder of that fruit.
Any suggestions welcome,
Nathan
Solved!

Nathan,
point of a plugin is to specify a "generic" operation to a specific use case. So in your example, you have the problem that the abstraction layer cannot provide a generic function which is specified by the plugin.
Of course, by some obscure and over-engineered approach, you might be able to solve a setup as you like. Still, i recommend you to provide only a single layered abstraction in the context of design. Of course, implementation can "stack" this. So in your second example, "Fruit" would provide generic operations on ALL kind of fruits without any implementation. Depending on the specific fruit, you would either leave the operation as dummy (no override) or add an override which indicates something like "This operation doesn't make sense with this type of FRUIT". For other fruit, you would add an override like "YAMYAM, tasty!"....

PS: Please note that i haven't discussed any "architectural design for deployment" here. So the question starts for "one lvlibp" or "several"? But as you already quoted Michael Lacasse's Community Entry, you know where to find useful information

How to make stork table in Mac numbers

hello,
how how to make stork tables in numbers just as what we can creat in windows excel?
thank you

Another way to create this type of chart is to create the pieces in separate charts and then layer them.
You create two stacked bar charts. There are two rows of values in each. The color of the bottom value is set to "no fill" to create the floating bar effect.
The width of the stick bar is changed by setting the gap to the maximum allowable (999%). The "stick" chart is placed behind the other.
For this to work, they need to be the exact same size and with the same axis values. Setting the axis to have fixed values makes this easier. Also, it improves the appearance to limit all the axis labels and lines to be in just one of the charts.

How to make PlugIns work?

Hi...
I've now downloaded demo plugins from eZedia (I guess to entice me to buy their Software package) and something from Download dot come called iMovie Plugin Pack 2.1.1.
There sitting in Home library > iMovie > Plug-ins...
How do I get at them? I don't see them as option in my iMovie transition area (like Photobooth has a special place for new items).
And any suggestions on what's good to add to iMovie?
Thank you in advance,
any comments, suggestions and opinions are welcome....

Yes, you can make a project in PulpMotion, export it using the "export to iMovie" option within the Aquafadas program, save it to your desktop or whatever, and then import the file to an iMovie event. I just finished an iMovie project that included segments that were created in PulpMotion Advanced, iStopMotion, 3D Timeline, and KeyNote. These are not "plug-ins" for iMovie, like the ones that Slick or Sugar make (which are super cool and can be used with iMovie HD)...but they are, rather, programs that let you make files that can be imported and then edited in iMovie (like your video clips).
Have fun with your project!

How do unblock plugins on my Mac using OSX?

For some reason, when I load web pages the last couple of days, I get a message...plugins blocked. How do I fix this? Thanks

It's probably "Flash". Just update to the latest version from the Adobe website. You will be fine after that. Apple updated Safari and the new version blocks older Flash plug-ins. I had the same issue.

Heretofore my RoboForm resided on whatever page I was on. Version 6 doesn't seem to do that. It is a PITA to have to access it from the toolbar. Is it that I just don't know how to make it reside on top? Could someone tell me?

I've had V4 and V5 and RoboForm worked the way it should. Then V6 comes along and it won't reside on a page so I can just
hit a drop down. In the setup I clicked several times on the bottom
button that says to always reside on top.

Have you updated to the new version of Roboform? It is Firefox 6 compatible.

Erica,
     I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
     I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
     It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
     Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
     I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
   For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
     Best.
     BPW

How to make a mac managed in wgm

Could anyone point me in the direction of a how to make a mac managed in workgroup manager, ive done it before, but i cant remember how to do it, all i can remember was that once the mac was managed it had a $ after it, then WGM can manage that macs preferences.

Hi John

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.
