sSPPlugins->GetPluginFileSpecification(pluginRef, &outFileSpec) from SPPluginsSuite is probably what you are looking for

I hope you can help me becouse  this plug-in is very simple, it must execute a file in the same  directory where the plugin is installed.

If i execute system("./Appname.app/Contents/MacOS/AppName"); the plugin search in my home directory (on windows and on MacOS).


i try to write:

     SPPluginsSuite* sSPPlugins;
        
     SPPluginRef fPluginRef = message->d.self;


    SPPlatformFileSpecification filespec;
    
     sSPPlugins->GetPluginFileSpecification(message->d.self, &fileSpec);
    
     filespec.mReference
    
     ai::FilePath path(platformFileSpec);
     std::cout << path.GetFullPath().as_Platform() << std::endl;

but i have several errors.

Thank you
