Checking if a third party plugin is available

[Harald Heim]

Hi,

How do you check in a JS script if a certain third party filter plugin is available in Photoshop CS4? Is there a way to get a list of the names of all available filter plugins in Photoshop?

I looked through all available documentation, but did not find a solution.

Thanks for your help.

app.systemInformation is a string of information about Photoshop. It has a section named 'Installed plug-ins:' that list both Adobe and 3rd party plug-ins.

You can parse that string to see if the plug-in you need is in that list.

Thanks a lot for the helpful reply!
