What is interesting is that there are plugins which are OS specific, some will only run on Windows versions of Adobe products, and some will only run on OSX versions. Interesting in that Adobe places no demand on those developers to produce cross platform plugins.

it's entirely up to the developer what a plug-in does, what versions of photoshop it supports and on what platforms.

Savageduck
Always.

adobe does not impose any requirements whatsoever.

Savageduck
...and that is highly commendable, given that one of their products is still going to be require to host any plugin.

that's the idea, but there are non-adobe products that claim support for photoshop plug-ins (but it is extremely limited).

nospam
writing a cross-platform plug-in is also very easy. almost the entire code is the same for both.

Savageduck
...and yet many developers don't do that.

that's because they're lazy. if their plug-in was any good, they'd support both platforms.

when i wrote plug-ins, i did both entirely on a mac using one codebase compiled to two binaries. i also had 4 versions of photoshop installed for testing.
