Hi,

 

how can I automatically activate an installed plugin?

Everytime when I install a plugin of mine, the plugin is shown in the Plugin Manager of Lightroom but it is disabled by default.

 

 

Thanks in advance

Regards

    I just tested my LR 8.4.1 / Mac OS, and plugins in the Modules subfolder are automatically added to File > Plug-in Manager but are initially disabled.  I don't know of any way to automatically enable them.

    If you manually place the plugin in the default folder for plugins, it should be enabled by default.
