I’m pleased to announce that all West Street plugins are now free. Most are focused on structured FrameMaker; however, the WS Utilities plugin is applicable to all FrameMaker users and I encourage you to try it out. I use it daily and would not want to live without it. Enjoy!

Thank you Russ! We rely on InsetPlus since years. Good to know that it supports the FM2026 version too.

Thank you Russ! I am still an active user of FrameSLT and find it immensely useful. The quality and stability of FrameSLT and your other plugins is remarkable. Adobe missed the opportunity to add XPath functionality to structured FrameMaker. I think that making EDDs XPath-based would be a big win for FrameMaker. But it seems that FrameMaker is in its sunset years of minor features and security patches. Thank you for your support and generosity over the years.

Thanks Rick! I agree with your sentiments about FrameMaker. I will say, though, that I find the stability and performance of FM2026 (18) on Windows 11 to be very good. So, I’m thinking it has some life left. Even if one day it is nothing more than a memory, maybe I can retire before that day arrives :)

And if we had the moderation powers back again with this new platform, I could actually stick your post in the “Announcements” section! 🤣
