Error message: "Menu ... not registered with action manager"

Hi

When Indesign loads my plugin there is an error message: "Menu XY not registered with action manager". After loading, my menu items are disabled.

The same plugin works on Windows, but not on Macintosh PPC!

What could be wrong?
Why works my plugin on Windows and on Mac not?

Thanks for the help.

Without knowing that specific error message:

This sounds as if your action component is missing from the saved data. Please trash the preferences and rebuild saved data. Also, check in the resource whether the boss class definition of your action component has an IID_IPMPERSIST.

Hi

I controlled that, but it doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Could it be, that a defined implementation is missing? I mean, you have something defined in the factory list, but the implementation is not in the project?

Thanks

Hi

One more thing: It works in the release version on Macintosh (the menu items are not disabled), but in the debug version it doesn't work. Something wrong in my Codewarrior project?

The start up method is not called too. I don't know why.

Thanks

Is the plugin code loaded at all? E.g. have a look at the "Configure Plugins" Dialog, and set a breakpoint in SDKPlugInEntrypoint.cpp.
I'd also check for differences between the resources of both builds.
