P: Imacon 3F plugin not working

My Imacon 3F plugin (1.4) doesn't work in Photoshop 2018 (19.1.1) on MacOS Sierra (10.12.6). The plugin works fine in Photoshop 2017. 

When attempting to open a 3F file in PS 2018, the fileformat is preselected as Imacon 3F, whichis not the case in  PS 2017. 

Photoshop System Info shows no error in loading the plugin.

Any suggestions on how to get the Plugin to work in PS2018?

Sounds good.

A user on the "Imacon Scanners" Yahoo group (mristuccia) have found this workaround which makes it possible to open the 3f file:
1. Open Photoshop CC 2018
2. File -> Open... (as usual)
3. Click the button "Options" in the open dialog (bottom left)
4. Select the .fff file you want to work with
5, Now you should have:
    Enable: All Readable Documents
    Format: Imacon 3f
6. Click on "All Readable Documents" and JUST RE-SELECT it from the option list, or select another option and then re-select "All Readable Documents".
7. Click the button "Open" (as usual)
The thread can be found here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/IMACONUSERS/conversations/topics/12453

I hope this may help in the work on this issue.

Thanks. I think I've tracked something down from someone on the Camera Raw side. I'll follow up if they have any questions.

Hi Jeffrey, thank you for reacting.

I got an email reply on my support case with Hasselblad from Beatrice Dobirta. But I don't know to whom Hasselblad reported the issue to at Adobe.

I can try to request details about where in Adobe the issue was reported, if you require it.

Do you know who they reported it to? I'm not seeing a record from them.

The latest update (19.1.2) didn't fix this issue.

Adobe, are you working on this problem?

If anyone is interested, Hasselblad Support have reproduced the issue, and have reported it to Adobe.
