Hello,

Is it possible to turn off a third party plugin from InDesign, without deleting it from the Plugins folder?

And the second question - if it's a plugin that works on Windows will it work also on MacOS?

You said it was vbscript. We need to get to the bottom of what you rely have. “Portable” for a C++ plugin, by the way, means you can compile it in Visual Studio or Xcode without change. No plugin just works on both. If it is a plugin. Details please.

@Test Screen Name Details:

* Plugin. Probably a Visual Basic plugin.

* I don't have source files to compile it by myself - just the plugin files in VB.

* Works fine on Wndows. Doesn't even appear in Menu on OSX.

* I used "script" by mistake - my bad. I've written it a few posts earlier.

The question is: is there a way to run it on OSX?

As I already said: The answer is "no".

You cannot run VB on OS X.

Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner
