Very Long Lag at "Scanning for Plug-ins" in PS CS3
PS CS3 lags for several minutes while the splash screen displays "Scanning for Plug-ins". PS loads and seems to work properly after the 2 - 3 minutes lag, but it's annoying.
I have deleted the preferences file, the plug-ins cache file and even the entire settings file in PS. I've tried shift-ctl-alt. I've chkdsk'd my primary drive.
This is a fresh install on a new os install (winxp sp2, current updates).
Any ideas? I swapped mobos to improve performance and this is a drag.Update: Connecting the scanners to complete driver initialization did not resolve the problem. Even rolling back my changes and removing the Nikon Scan and Epson Scan software did not resolve the slowdown at the PS plugin scan.
I noticed that the Epson software took 4 minutes to load when I ran the app (Epson Control Panel or something like that). This is really strange. I removed the scanner software but that has not resolved the problem. I do have a network HP all-in-one. (OfficeJet 7310xi). Does that have twain drivers? Nothing shows up under scannners in control panel.
This is really weird. My system has a dual-core processor and 4 gig of memory. -
Since mid-February 2014, having problems with both Photoshop Elements 10 and Photoshop CS4 extended (v 11.0.2) - both take around 4 minutes to load, when previously they loaded very quickly.
In Photoshop CS4 there is no activity on-screen for 2 minutes, then it hangs on the start up screen for another two minutes on "Scanning for plug-ins." Similar issue with Elements 10.
I am running on Windows 8.1, 64-bit. I also have Lightroom 5.4 installed.
Any help gratefully received, as this is driving me mad!UPDATE: After having had my iPod plugged in for TWO HOURS, it has finally been detected by iTunes.

Premiere Pro Freezing on "Scanning Audio Plug-ins"
Hi All,
Adobe Premiere Pro freezes as I wait for "Scanning Audio Plug-Ins." The program "dvaaudiovideoscan" program has opened, but nothing is happening.
-I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
-Deleted my "8.0" user folder in documents.
My iMac has run and has enough power to run Premiere Pro past and present.
I don't know what to do. I also appreciate that Adobe has no number that I can call even though I'm paying for this service.
Please help community!

Taking forever to open PSE 10- searching for plug-ins?
I'm back, Community Professionals! Why does the Photoshop 10 take so long (5min.) to look for all the plug-ins every time I try to use it? Once it lets me know that 3 are unavailable... the program shows up on the screen and I can start working. It sure slows down the creative juices. What is the difference between the Editor and PSE? I have two Icons on my tool bar. Only Editor opens. I have not used it since I talked to you last in November. My old PSE 6 won't recognize my scanner/printer anymore (must be that newer Twain that I installed) but the new software PSE10 does. I know what you will say... it's the plug-ins. Anything else you can comment on in PSE 10 that I will need to address? I know that yoiu don't work for PS. Thanks, OMI
Yes, I think you damaged it pretty badly by removing those plug-ins and trying to open it. Here's what I would do:
1. Uninstall via the uninstaller.
2. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 settings
Also anything beginning with com.adobe. that mentions Organizer. If you are using lion your username>library is a hidden folder. To see it, in the Finder, click the Go Menu and then hold down the Option key. It will appear in the menu just below the little house for your account.
3. Reinstall PSE.
4. Repair permissions before starting PSE, and then launch the editor directly, not the welcome screen. It's this file: -

Preferred package naming conventions for plug-ins?
Every combination seems to be in use already...
VIM plug-ins are vim-plugin_name
XFCE plug-ins are xfce4-plugin_name-plugin
GIMP plug-ins are (mostly) gimp-plugin-plugin_name
I plan on making some plug-in packages for a application what dose not currently have any available. So as the topic says what's preferred package naming convention? I personally like the GIMP format best but just figured I'd ask first (should really be in the guidelines IMO).Ok well I guess I'll use the third option for now them.
While we're talking about naming conventions I was just searching for the python cairo library noticed binding library's could do with some guidance to...
cairo-perl
pycairo
ruby-rcairo
IMO language-library_name would be a nice guideline. -
Manual update for plug ins and extensions not working
I've just noticed that when I attempt to manually check for updates either in plug ins and/or extensions from the gear symbol drop down screen that I get the drop down screen, but, the check for updates function does not work. It just sits there with nothing happening. I have to close the screen to get out of that function. Anybody know anything about this?
Thanks you for your comments. I would mention that this problem just started with the update to FF 37.0.4 I tried restarting FF in safe mode with no effect on the above mentioned problem. Any other thoughts?

Scan for wireless networks doesn't find Airport Express
Help please!
I've been trying for days to set up my Airport Express.
When I do the scan for wireless networks, my computer seems to find every network in my block of flats except my AX. I found it once or twice, and then used the AirPort Utility to do the setup. But then it lost the connection on restart. Now the AX connection is nowhere to be found.
Similarly, when I scan for AXs using AirPort Utility it finds nothing.
I don't think it's the AX that's the problem, because I have a wifi blackberry and when I scan for wireless networks on that it finds the AX (although it won't connect). And I don't see how it can be my computer (which is not a Mac) because it finds about 10 other networks.
What am I doing wrong? I'd be most grateful to anyone who could explain it to me in language a 2 year old could understand, because it's all a complete mystery to me.
I use a BT Home Hub for wireless internet, if that makes any difference.
Thanks!If there are lots of other networks in the area you are probably getting a lot of RF interference.
Can I also add, the AX has relatively weak signal compare to some of the desktop wireless routers due to its size and small power source. If the interference is really a problem, AX might not be your best solution. You should consider upgrade the AX to something more powerful like the AEBS/n. Get the N version so you have a choice of moving your wireless network out of the crowded 2.4GHz band and move it into less populated 5GHz band.
Just my 2 cents.

Plug ins where to find them to upgrade them
Running indesign 5.0 but have installed updates so I am assuming that it is now 5.5.
I cannot open previous files. Gives error message
need to update plugins
where do i find the plug ins and how do i update them
thanks
PattiNo, that would not be 5.5 since that was a paid upgrade.
The reason you can’t open those files is because they were created in a
later version of InDesign. Have whoever sent them save them back via IDML. -
Mainstage 3 for Plug-Ins Only vs Mainstage 2
I use garageband for recording and read that I could use the Jam Packs by just buying Mainstage 2. I don't care about loops, I only want more software instruments to use when I plug my midi drum set in. I need to upgrade my OS to get Mainstage 2, so I ordered an OS upgrade. Now, I see that Mainstage 2 has been replaced by 3 and I do not have the RAM required for 3 (4GB). I do not want to buy RAM now in addition to the OS I didn't even really want to buy. Will Mainstage 2 still be available? Could I just buy Mainstage 3 and only use the plug-ins even if my cpu is too slow for the program itself? Bonus: how many more drum kits does 3 have vs. 2?
THANKS!!!!Regardless of what happens more RAM is always a good thing... and given how cheap RAM is you should always want to add more.
If you have already bought MainStage 2 it will still be available in the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store app. If you don't have 2 then you can no longer buy it from the store.
You asked if you can use just the plug-ins of MainStage 3 even if your CPU is too slow. The problem with that is that it's the plug-ins that require a fast machine. Launching the app isn't going to be the problem on a slow machine... it'll be as you start to add plug-ins. If you you very sparingly use plug-ins then it should be OK.
Not sure about how many kits as I still need to download the additional content.
Good luck... -
Enabling AU Nodes for Plug-Ins
Hi, I am having problems getting my AU Plug-in components working in Logic Pro 9. I have done pretty much everything imaginable up to this point but the components won't show up in the Audio Units list for Inserts. The plug-in's I have are ReFX Nexus 2 and Tone2 Gladiator (all latest versions) and I am running Logic on OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. The problem has boiled down to the inability to check/select the 'Nodes' inside the Audio Units Manager; the check boxes under 'Logic' can be selected and the plug-ins appear to have passed the test. Only AU's with selectable nodes show up in the Inserts panel. I tested this by downloading a plug-in called TAL-DUB II that was shown as an example in a video for installing plug-ins and after placing it's component in the components folder it showed up right away. Every AU in the Audio Units Manager that has an active node shows up and is functional except the ones whose nodes cannot be clicked/selected including three that came with Logic: 'AUAdioFilePlayer', AUNetReceive', and DLSMusicDevice'. In the AU manager, under 'Type' all the ones listed as 'effects' have selectable nodes but 'generators' and 'instruments' do not. I'm sure it's something very simple but if someone can explain what that something is it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Nodes have nothing to do with it - or are you using any plugins from a second Mac?
Most 3rd party Instrument plugins do not have noding capabilities, but that has no bearing on whether they can be used on a single machine.
If you have a second Mac, you can install plugins on that and use those in a project running on the first Mac, this is known as *Distributed Audio Processing.*

Hi all,
This is more of a "design/structural" than a "what button do
I press" question.
I have a rather large application that has a "base" .chm file
associated with it (already quite huge). Our customers may also
purchase plug-ins, but won't necessarily all have the same set. So
while one user's application may look like this:
Main-app
+plug-in A
+plug-in B
another's may look like this:
Main-app
+plug-in A
+plug-in E
I distribute a .chm file with the main-app.
In the table of contents for my main app's .chm file, I'd
like to have a section called "Plug-Ins" that could be dynamically
populated. I'd like to achieve that by distributing a small set of
help with each plug-in that could be 'dropped' into a help
directory and extend the help system after restarting.
Since we're dealing with compiled help systems, I think I
already know the answer. I don't think this is possible right now,
but has anyone had a similar problem/solution? Any options for
dynamic loading at runtime?
Alternately:
1) If I have to do separate .chm files for the main-app and
each plug-in, can I at least force them to open in the same help
window?
2) If I have separate .chm files, I'd like to have
cross-references from the plug-in projects to the main-app project.
Are cross project references possible without entangling the two
component projects? (I'd be fine if the links in the plug-in help
didn't work if used without the Main-app help in place.)
Thanks in advance,
-GregThanks again, Elisa & Anne.
Wanted to give you an update.
I think you're right, copying the target .chm to the current
project is just for setting up the cross references. However, if I
have lots of subprojects, this will make for a nightmare on
Windows, given that I have to copy a 25 or 30 Mb file into each
subproject just to do cross-reference. (If I could set up a unix
type link on a windows box, that problem would go away, but
alas...)
So I've arrived at the following choices:
1) Stick with a .chm for the main project, create stubs for
each plug-in project, but don't do any cross referencing between
projects. <<sigh>> This lets me have a single TOC, and
I can distribute doc for each plug-in separately, so it looks like
one system. I'd then always regenerate the master project to get an
updated .h file.
-or-
2) Looking at a merged Webhelp project. I've been posting
over in that forum, and have already tried the process using some
ideas on Peter Grainge's site. The advantages are that you can do
true cross project references, distribute new projects without
having to create stubs in the "main" project, plus you get true
cross platform compatibility. I'm sorting out how to merge .h files
and use them to call help sections in webhelp, but if that works, I
may have to tease things apart and go that route.
So while not a 100% success, I've at least found the
boundaries, and I can decide what to do.
Thanks very much for all your help!

After Effects performs certain kinds of asset management for a project. When you import an image or footage, the project keeps a file-reference to it, sometimes relative. You can "Collect Files..." and gather them all to one place. Handy!
Is there any way for a plug-in to get in on that action?
For my effect plugin "omino_python", which runs a python script to draw on a layer, I refer to external scripts.
It seems the best way to do this, for now, is use a custom parameter, or maybe options dialog, to select a file, and save the file path as parameter (or options) data.
Is there a way to find the project's path? Then the file path could at least be relative. It seems best to NOT save the whole script as parameter data; I want the user to own their own files for revision control and what not.
What I'd love is a PF_Param_FILE_ASSET type, and let AE manage it. Be part of the "Collect Files..." club. Is there anything sort-of close?for starters, lookup PF_Cmd_GET_EXTERNAL_DEPENDENCIES along with PF_OutFlag_I_HAVE_EXTERNAL_DEPENDENCIES.
i don't know if that flag will cause AE to gather the said files when doing a "collect", bet hey, that's the closest thing i know of to what you're looking for.
if that doesn't help, i would have stored both the path and the script in a custom param (or sequence data).
then if the file pointed to by the path exists, then you can discard the internally kept copy of the script. if it doesn't exist you can ask the user where to save it, and create a file the user can edit externally.
