PluginConfig still works if you use POSIX paths.

Some time ago there were also changes on which of its own plug-ins InDesign requires - far more of them.

If I understand right InCopyFileActions is one that isnt "blocked/alerted", regarding to this page https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/use-plugin-config.html

I tried a lot of paths in POSIX, as the relative path above doesnt seem to work. Havnt figured ou yet how to write the path in exclude...

I'm only using the =Path clause pointing to folders that hold my own plug-ins. 

Posix path, absolute, outside the app folder, surrounded by double quotes, no trailing slash.

 

There were also positive reports about =Exclude using relative path, no double quotes, space unescaped.

 

Not sure what controls the starting point for relative paths - do you have unusual cwd settings in Xcode?
