I'd hesitate to say that name accurately describes the package. Perhaps they can rename it to "Plugin Suite" for CS4 :-)

Alois, this is a package containing an IDE (programming environment) and compiler, and a link to the CS3 SDK. Although the web page
i suggests
you can 'import a plugin', they used some bad descriptions of the process. What they
i really
mean is 'import a plugin project' -- not an existing plugin, but rather the source code and headers from the SDK samples or from one you wrote yourself.

>But this is a plugin editor for CS3.

As it does nothing at all specific to CS3, I imagine you can use the same environment for CS4.

Hallo!

Thanks Satoru for the link.
But this is a plugin editor for CS3.

How about InDesign Plug-in Editor?
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/InDesign_Plug-in_Editor

I do not know how it is.
But I always feel inconvenient to write resource(.fr) files for layout of panels or dialogs.
Anybody wants to try it??

There are no plug-in editors, for any version of ID. If only... (wish, wish).

To write plugins, download the SDK and either adjust one of the samples that most fits your idea, or write one from scratch.

It's not possible to edit existing plugins. (You can
i add
functionality to them, but since it requires a new plugin that piggy-backs on to the existing ones, it's not really 'editing'.)
