Hi, I have some files which open with a message that "some art objects use a plugin that is not available"

However, document.pluginItems is emtpy. How could I detect which art items are affected

can you share a sample file?

docRef.pluginItems should work

Hi CarlosCanto,

I started with the finding that doc.pluginItems.length was zero.

I will try later how the file behaves on a computer where the plugin is installed

Hi, it turns out that neither pluginItems nor the select menu find the effect, on a machine with the plugin, as well as without. Also going to symbol edit mode does not help. The plugin use can be seen inside the attributes panel, as an fx entry.

However, the plugin maker has a tool to locate affected items

The (free) plugin SelectMenu can detect Plugin art https://rj-graffix.com/downloads/plugins/#selectmenu

I don't know if that is also possible with scripts.

Hi, this seems to be a valuable addition. Unfortunately, it does not seem to find plugin art inside symbols

I'm guessing "document.pluginItems is emtpy" because "some art objects use a plugin that is not available".

You'll need to go back to the source file/creator and see what was used, assuming it wasn't you that created it.
