.plugin versus .webplugin files

I have a question that was asked 9 years ago, left unanswered, got archived.
I am still on OS X 10.5.8. What's the use of having seemingly duplicate plugin-files in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/?
QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
QuickTime Plugin.plugin
Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin
Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin
I am thinking maybe they are from different updates to the application, but the version information is identical. The plugin descriptions, viewable inside the Safari 5.0.6 browser window, are also identical.
.webplugin ist not listed at fileinfo.com, .plugin is. Is .webplugin redundant? Why does it exist?

Plugin versus PSD File Generator

Hi all,
I'm a C++ (MFC) developer that has just started looking at the SDK functionality. At my office, we're trying to figure out the best way to approach this problem. We have a lot of customers that take our images and format/label them in a specific way (four images in a square with a label at the upper left corner of each image). To create the images, we have an MFC application that generates this information.
The ideal situation would be for us to create a PSD file that contains one layer for each image and one layer for each image label. Can I create a PSD file from my C++ code? or do I have to have a plugin?
For the plugin, I would assume that I need to have the C++ program create a data file that contains the images and labels. When the user opens Photoshop and runs the plugin, it would ask the user for the data file, then create the layers with it.
I'm also open to other options on how to solve this issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Dougie

What is the plugin-container.exe file? How do I get rid of it?I keep getting a 70% usage message about this plugin. I tried to delete it but then Firefox won't work.

What is the plugin-container.exe file? It seems to be using 70% of usage of my computer's memory. How do I get rid of it?

Plugin-container is an "out-of-process plugins" crash protection, see for more info the link, and if you want to disable try the analytical info :

Camera-raw plugin for NEF files, made with the new Nikon D7200

Hi, does anyone know when there will be a camera-raw plugin for NEF files made with the new Nikon D7200?

I think that camera is too new. Even the DNG converter will not support it. If you have Nikon software with the camera, you could convert to tiff and then use the tiff files in Elements whilst awaiting the next Camera Raw update for PSE13.

PS Custom Format Plugin - Issue Reading Files 2GB & 4GB

Is this issue fixable within our format plugin code, or is it a photoshop limitation?
I am new to Photoshop & Photoshop Plugins. I have reviewed the sdk photoshop documentation & searched web on this subject.
I am working with a photoshop format plugin written by my predecessor who is no longer here.
The plugin is modeled after the simpleFormat plugin.
The plugin is being used on systems running Photoshop CS6 & CC on 64bit Windows 7 with 8GB or more memory.
The plugin allows a file of our format to be opened, read and written.
ISSUE:
The plugin works fine reading files < 2GB or > 4GB. For files between 2GB and 4GB, the call to allocate memory fails.
In the plugin's PIPL structure: the FormatMaxSize {32767, 32767} and PluginMaxSize {PlugInMaxSize { 2147483647, 2147483647 }
In the plugin code; the DoReadStart() method opens the file and reads the file header information. This works fine.
Next, in the DoReadContinue() method: SPsBuffer->New(&bufferSize, buffersize) is returning NULL. see below.
void PluginMain (const int16 selector,
 FormatRecordPtr formatParamBlock,
 intptr_t * data,
 int16 * result)
 gFormatRecord = reinterpret_cast<FormatRecordPtr>(formatParamBlock);
 gPluginRef = reinterpret_cast<SPPluginRef>(gFormatRecord->plugInRef);
 gResult = result;
 gDataHandle = data;
sSPBasic = ((FormatRecordPtr)formatParamBlock)->sSPBasic;
if (gCountResources == NULL ||
 gGetResources == NULL ||
 gAddResource == NULL ||
gFormatRecord->advanceState == NULL)
*gResult = errPlugInHostInsufficient;
return;
// new for Photoshop 8, big documents, rows and columns are now > 30000 pixels
if (gFormatRecord->HostSupports32BitCoordinates)
 gFormatRecord->PluginUsing32BitCoordinates = true;
static void DoReadPrepare()
 gFormatRecord->maxData = 0
static void DoReadContinue (void)
 int32 done;
 int32 total;
 int32 row;
 VPoint imageSize = GetFormatImageSize();
 /* Set up the buffer & progress variables. */
 done = 0;
 total = imageSize.v;
 Ptr pixelData = NULL;
 Ptr rawData = NULL;
 Ptr uncompressedData = NULL;
 int64* offsetTable = NULL;
/* allocate the pixel buffer. */
 unsigned32 bufferSize = gFormatRecord->planes * imageSize.v * imageSize.h;
 pixelData = sPSBuffer->New( &bufferSize, bufferSize ); <====== This allocation fails for file sizes > 2GB & < 4GB.
 if (pixelData == NULL)
 *gResult = memFullErr;
 //return;
 if(*gResult == memFullErr) { goto ReadContinueCleanUp; }

Some examples of files that are successfully read and files that are not successfully read are shown below:
Filenames that contain "nok" as part of the name, would not open and an out of RAM error occurs.

Why does FireFox freeze and the only way to unfreeze it is to open the task manager and close the plugin-container.exe file??? It has been happening more and more often and it is getting VERY AGGRAVATING!!!!!

When Firefox does freeze (not responding appears in parentheses in the page tab) I am not able to access any of the webpages (the entire webpage is hidden behind a vaguely white transparent foreground) and more often than not any files I might be downloading are stopped before the entire file has been transferred - which means that I have to start those downloads from the beginning AGAIN. This has been happening for quite some time and I AM SICK AND TIRED OF IT HAPPENING!!
If it continues to happen for much longer I will swear off FireFox FOREVER!!!!! Either a program works or it does not work and lately Firefox has not worked worth a damn...........
The ONLY way to force Firefox to allow me to access it is for me to end the plugin-container.exe file process using Task Manager. Clearing there is a SERIOUS problem here that has not been resolved - why not???

The pluging container opens up unnecessary copies as the cookies/history are cleared, this is a known issue, it might be what you are seeing, and it is hoped to be fixed in some future release of firerox.
There are some hangs affecting some users, with symptoms being high cpu usage, occurring as bookmark changes or syncing is in progress, there is a work around for that.
Firefox hanging as you close it see:
*[[firefox hangs]]
* [[firefox is already running but is not responding]]

Plugin vs webplugin

In the library/Internet Plug-ins folder, I have both plugins and webplugins for Quicktime and Flip4Mac WMV. What's the difference between a plugin and webplugin?
If both plugin and webplugin are loaded, it causes that application to appear twice if you check "Installed Plug-ins" in Safari, which I don't think is desirable.
I noticed in the Quicktime list that the work around if you're getting a question mark when Quicktime loads in Safari, is to remove the webplugin.
So, I'd like some information on plugins and webplugins.
Thanks

Thomas, having both QuickTime plugins doesn't matter for me. When the Apple Discussions login page gave me trouble with blue-boxed question marks appearing in the menu bar, I tried removing the webplugin but that didn't solve the problem. I still have both and rarely have any question marks showing up.

Internet Explorer ONLY passes parameters to Adobe Reader plugin for hosted files, not local

WORKS:
<embed src="http://host.com/test.pdf#page=5"/>
FAILS:
<embed src="test.pdf#page=5"/>
Both code snippets above work when the HTML file is hosted (IIS / Apache). My web-app needs to be able to run from a USB memory stick and work with IE9. The #page param is required for a core feature of the app.
Parameters after the # are passed correctly to the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox for offline files, eg: file:///C:/test.htm. The documentation only describes hosted examples: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf
I have tried the <object> route as well with similar results, eg: http://pdfobject.com/
I have burned over 8 hours looking for a solution. I have tried any logical settings in Adobe Reader X, and with the security zones in IE. I am not very familiar with IE security zones, but I suspect it could be related to my issue. I can specify the end-user change any browser or plugin settings as an acceptable solution.

I am developing a hybrid web-application that needs to work both offline (entire website) and in a hosted environment. A key part of the product is displaying PDF's with a dynamic index outside of the PDF. This allows us to use PDF's collected from hundreds of contractors, clients and manufacturers and combine them into one searchable product with a consistent interface. I can specify product requirements including IE browser settings, installed plug-ins etc. I am not trying to cater to a wide audience such as everyone online, but a specific one that is spending $5k-30k for a custom resource.
I expect the limiation is due to a wide cast net regarding security. I tried every setting in IE and essentially fully disabling all security options did not resolve it.
I found a solution, by accessing the ActiveX object directly you can use the exposed classes described here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/w whelp.htm?context=Acrobat9_HTMLHelp&file=IAC_API_OLE_Objects.103.167.html
Javascript:
var pdfO = document.getElementById('pdfObj');
pdfO.setCurrentPage(pageNumber);
HTML:
<OBJECT id ="pdfObj" data="test.pdf" TYPE="application/pdf">
<a href="test.pdf">Fall-back code</a>
</OBJECT>
This actually works much faster as well, since the plugin doesn't need to be re-drawn in the DOM

InCopy 8 (CS6): Missing Plugins, Cannot Open File

A client and I have used InCopy for several years with no issues. After upgrading to CS6, though, we are both getting this error when opening InDesign files that have embedded preflight profiles:
Missing Plug-ins, Cannot Open File
Package and Preflight.InDesignPlugin
I've tested this on two machines (both Macs) and can confirm that it happens only with embedded preflight profiles. My client is having the same experience on his brand-new iMac (with no previous CS6 installations).
Documents without embedded preflight profiles open normally.
Extension Manager reports that the Package and Preflight plugin is loaded -- but from a nonexistent folder:
This folder existed in CS5.5 but not now. Both my client and I have uninstalled and reinstalled InCopy CS6 with no change.
After clicking through the error to load the document, selecting Option+Command+InCopy > About InCopy to display component information shows that the plugin is both "used" and "missing."
No big deal (we can click through this) but annoying and strange. Anyone else running into this?
Steve

Yes, I see it here too. Luckily it's just annoying. Please make sure and report it to the bug reporting form.

Why won't Photoshop plugin for CR2 files update successfully?

Hi,
I can't open CR2 files from my Canon EOS Rebel XSI. I get the warning "Photoshop cannot open this file. If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via > Help > Updates."
So I go to Help >Updates and update, but then get the warning that "Some components of the following products could not be updated." Listed is the PS icon and a plugin icon.
I have Lightroom and PS. It used to work before in PS. I don't know what is happening now but it is really holding me up.
Thanks.

It is likely that your Canon's CR2 files require a newer version of ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module, than you have.
There are two choices for me:
I can Move your post to the ACR Forum, or to the Photoshop Forum. As you are using Ps, and that IS a very active forum, dealing with a lot of ACR issues. I will Move it there. Your links and any e-mail subscriptions will follow perfectly.
Good luck,
Hunt

Camera Raw Plugin "Not Recognized File Type"

It was suggested that I post this here...
I'm trying to install the camera raw update for the Canon Rebel XS in CS4.
I downloaded the newest RAW update, and the files still didn't work, and then when I went back and downloaded the camera-specific update, I get a plugin and photoshop says that "Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
Any ideas?

You should always run the latest version of the Adobe Camera Raw for the particular version of Photoshop you are using.
In your case that means ACR 5.7, which is the last to run with CS4.
There's no such thing as a "camera specific version" of Camera Raw. Once a camera is supported by a specific version of ACR, it will always continue to be supported in all subsequent versions of ACR. You need to run the latest version because each update contains unannounced enhancements and bug fixes.
There will not be any further updates of ACR for CS4, so you must use ACR 5.7.
Note that ACR 6.1 will not work with CS4. The 6.x series of ACR requires CS5.
The error message you describe—"Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"—is returned by Photoshop when you attempt to open the plug-in by double-clicking on it instead of installing it. It is NOT meant to be opened, it's meant to be installed in a specific folder. Read the instructions. As a matter of fact, try updating through the auto updater in the Help menu of Photoshop or Bridge: Help > Updates…
Only if that doesn't work should you perform a manual installation of ACR according to the instructions.

Logic hangs on a plugin while opening File

I have a song that will no longer open beacuse in the process of it opening, it up gets hung up while accessing a plugin that was used on a track. Is there a way to bypass the plugin before opening the file so that I can get the song opened up and readdress (or fix) the plugin problem.
Thanks in advance.

Yes....
Quit any open project
Go to Logic's menu bar and click on Logic Pro/Preferences/Audio Units manager and disable the plugin in there by unchecking it.
You may need to then restart Logic... but try loading the project first before doing so, to save you time if you don't need to restart

FF13 Reader Plugin Puts ashx File on Desktop

10.1.3.23 Acrobat Firefox 13 Plugin: At a Regions Bank site I want to Clk the PDF Icon and have the Statement Open As it has Done recently. Today it Dnloads an .ashx File on the desktop and I have to Clk That to see the Checking Statement. Not ideal, so HOW can I get the Plugin to just Open the Link in one Dbl-Clk as prior? Loads ashx at Merrill Lynch too vs. simply Opening PDF.
IE9 Opens PDF File as desired with one Dbl-Clk on icon.
Ran Repair / Re-boot = no joy. No other PDF Apps installed/FoxitReader prior but Uninstalled and Reg entries removed, etc.
Posted BugBase Issue for Flash 11.3.300.262 ActionScript pop-up with FF 13 so this is disappointing to have a 2nd Adobe issue.
Many Thanks!

https://onlinestatements.regions.com/onlinestatements/viewdocument.ashx?x=9-zzzz=6/B=0
If I Logged Out of Regions and Copied/pasted the Statement PDF Link Location
in FF 13 Browser it actually Printed my Statement - so I rearranged digits
AFTER the
https://onlinestatements.regions.com/onlinestatements/viewdocument.ashx? -
part of the string.
Don't know if you can use just "Most" of the path to diagnose this issue but I
obviously can't make my Statement world news.
Thanks for the Reply!
