Library Menu Item not Showing on Mac

I have been testing a Plug-in on Windows and it works great. My Mac tester says the Plug-in loads and shows as Enabled. The problem is the menu item is not showing up on the Mac. This is my first plug-in and I am wondering what I am missing since it works fine on Windows.

Correct answer johnrellis

I have tried dropping the version and sdk version to 5, changing the title to remove the ampersand and removing the photosSelected line. None of that made a difference.


Are you sure the tester is looking under the Library menu rather than the File menu? Many LR users forget that plugin commands could appear under the Library menu (and the Help menu for that matter!).

Are you sure your tester is correctly loading the plugin?  You might ask her/him to send a screenshot of the Plug-in Manager.

I haven't heard of these symptoms before, and I can't think of what might cause them.  You might post the contents of Info.lua here.

Here is the info.lua

return {

  LrSdkVersion = 6.0,

  LrSdkMinimumVersion = 6.0, -- minimum SDK version required by this plug-in

  LrToolkitIdentifier = 'com.ableblue.lightroom.tags2flags',

  LrPluginName = LOC "$$$/Tags2Flags/PluginName=Tags to Flags Converter",

   LrInitPlugin = 'PluginInit.lua',

  -- Add the menu item to the Library menu.

   LrLibraryMenuItems = {

     {

     title = LOC "$$$/Tags2Flags/FileMenuItem=Convert Colors to F&lags",

     file = "Colors2Flags.lua",

  enabledWhen = "photosSelected",

  },

   },

  VERSION = { major=0, minor=3, revision=0, build=0, },

  LrPluginInfoUrl = 'http://www.github.com/MatthewMcD/Lightroom',

  LrPluginInfoProvider = 'PluginInfoProvider.lua',

}
