Failure to install a plugin in Photoshop with a .ccx file

[Hollyab]

Hi all,

I am unable to install the Gradiate plugin into Photoshop 22.01. I've been instructed to double click the .ccx file but that's not working - the plugin installer just flashes on the screen very quickly then disappears and no installation occurs.

My creative cloud app is up to date and I am working on a Mac running OS Big Sur 11.01.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Holly

I have the same problem. have you managed to resolve it yet?

[Hollyab]

Yes! The problem was that I had moved the .ccx file away from the desktop into another folder.

I too am unable to use a .ccx installer file on my MacStudio (Monterey). This is for the ProPanel plugin. The installer icon initially appeared as a blank white icon with the ccx file extension in the name field After a computer restart, the icon now appears as a white space with the letters Ps showing, and the finder is identifying this as a Photoshop file. When clicked, I see the message that Photoshop does mot recognize this type file. This installer ran perfectly on my MacMini, which also is am M1 Silicon device with the same security settings. The only difference is an M1 chip on the Mini, and an M1 Max on the Studio.

I'm having the same problem. The maker of the plugin that's giving me trouble said it is an Adobe problem but I can't seem to find an answer. Did you ever find an answer to your problem?
