Using release InDesign with DEBUG version of my PLN

Hello,

For almost 2 years, we have been testing and debugging our PLNs in their release versions, as we could not get the debug versions to build/link, and it was still possible to run in the VS2019 debugger with breakpoints etc...

Now, we have some quiet time, and I deceided to try to get the debug version of the PLN to build and finally managed to et the debug version of my PLN to build and link.

But, when I try to use the "normal" version of InDesign to load my debug PLN, nothing happens.

Do I need to also install the DEBUG version of InDesign (yuk!) ?

Very best regards,

Olivier

    Yes, it seems that only the debug version of inDesign can be used with a plugin compiled in DEBUG mode 😞

    I don't know what a PLN is in this context...

     

    If you set the debug flag on the production version, does that help? You may also want to reach out to wwds@adobe.com with this question.

    Sorry, too much jargon.

    PLN is the Windows file extension for InDesign plugins.

    I have bitten the bullet and installed the debug version of InDesign.

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Very best regards,

    Olivier
