Hi, Guys !

I already know that I need to put the third plugins in the Path “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins” ， and it worked for me ！

But ，i want to change the ps plugin path , like “D:\_Reed_Works\ps\Plug-ins” .. How can I set or change or append the new plugin path , let photoshop know my new plugin path ?

maybe ,ps have no packages like env.PATH.append(“D:\_Reed_Works\ps\Plug-ins”）？

Thanks !

That's the other name of 'shortcut' I suggested to make but didn't try myself. Does it work indeed?

Yes, symbolic links are handled at the operating system kernel level and are transparent to applications.

Plug ins should be placed in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC rather than the version specific folder that you mention. That way they don't have to be moved or re-installed when there is a major version update to Photoshop.

Make shortcut to other folder and put it in Plug-ins, but it might not work (although works for Presets folder).
