How to "fail" a plugin ?

Hi all,

I have a plugin that is checking for a valid license. Today, I return a `PF_Err` from `EffectMain` callback for the `PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_SETUP` selector but the plugin UI still displays.

How do I make the plugin "fail" and don't appear in PremierePro or appear as disabled ?

Thanks in advance.

Disabled plugins don't exist in Premiere Pro.

It's either recognized as a valid plugin or it's unrecognized.
To prevent the plugin from appearing in Premiere Pro, you throw a PF_Err_INVALID_CALLBACK error during PF_Cmd_GLOBAL_SETUP

What PF_Err value did you return?

I have tried multiples errors from `PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_SETUP` selector:

- `PF_Err_BAD_CALLBACK_PARAM`

- `PF_Err_INTERNAL_STRUCT_DAMAGED`

- `PF_Err_INVALID_CALLBACK`

- `PF_Err_OUT_OF_MEMORY`

And they all gave the same final result, UI is displayed.

At the moment, my plugin architecture does not allow to know the license status when in `PF_Cmd_GLOBAL_SETUP` or `PF_Cmd_PARAMS_SETUP`

Those are all what I would have suggested. 🙂

In response to what selector, are you displaying your plugin's dialog?

Perhaps you could save yourself a "license is bad" message in PF_InData->sequence_data, and take note of that, before displaying the dialog?
