Finding the plugin directory for Photoshop

If I remember correctly the path/directory locations have changed in recent years (but i'm not sure having skipped from photoshop 7 up to cs3) .
What should I consider when writing my plugin installer for finding these paths? I skimmed the SDK documentation, but perhaps I overlooked it?
I know there's a registry entry, but finding the path requires knowing the version so you can get to it: SOFTWARE > Adobe > Photoshop > 10.0 > PluginPath
And while we're at it, how is this best accomplished on OS X?

No, the plugin location hasn't changed relative to the application.
If you want to be sure and get the localized location, you can always use the PSPaths preference file or the registry entries for each version of Photoshop.
Keeping the location for multiple versions is intentional - so you can choose to install for all versions, or specific versions.
Search for known version numbers that you support (CS4, CS3, CS2, CS, 7, etc.) to get their location.

    I am using html to make a website and want to use a png on my macbook but need the root directory for the image source. I am not sure how to get this, can anyone tell me how?

    If you are hosting a web server from your Mac, you should place the images inside /Library/WebServer/Documents or inside your user Sites folder. The www user will not be able to access a file from anywhere else unless you give it permission to do so.

    Hard disk crashed, need to reinstall all software including Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.  The download link has been removed from Adobe site and support is saying I have to purchase a new license.  I already have a licensed version of this product and this version is sufficient for my needs.  Where can I find the download link?

  • Where can i find a dutch manual for photoshop cs6

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find the dutch manual for Photoshop CS6.
    There is a hyperlink available on this page Help bij Photoshop | Archief called Help bij Adobe Photoshop CS5 (PDF), but if I follow this I end up on an "error page" in English telling me that the requested page isn't available.
    Can someone provide me with this PDF-file please?
    I can download this PDF in English, but it would be so much easier for me to read and understand the subject matter in Dutch.
    So, is there anybody out there who can send it to me?
    Thanks!
    Michael

  • Where's the plugin directory on firefox 3.6.13 on librix?

    I can't find the plugin directory to install plugins

    Firefox can find plugins in various places. One of them is the plugins folder in the Firefox installation folder.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Determining_plugin_directory_on_Linux
    You have other plugins installed, so you can see the path of them on the about:plugins page if you first set the pref <b>plugin.expose_full_path</b> on the about:config page.<br />
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).<br />
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

  • Where can I find the plugin to open camera raw files for Nikon D810 for Photoshop CS5.1? I've looked around the site but cannot get this to work.. Thank you.

    Where can I find the plugin to open camera raw files for Nikon D810 for Photoshop CS5.1? I've looked around the site but cannot get this to work.. Thank you.

    See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
    You could use the free DNG Converter.
