P: Extensions missing after updating to Photoshop 22.3

After installing the latest update of PS all my 3rd party plugins are gone. I was trying to reinstall them, but still, they're not appearing in the program. The only thing that's still working is Raya Pro, but it's installed with the Creative Cloud plugins section. 

 

Does anyone have any idea how to recover the "old" plugins that suppose to be visible under the "window" menu? I was trying to reinstall the plugins, both with a script and manually ad it doesn't help. Maybe there's some different folder now where I should put the extensions that I'm not aware of?

     Hi All,

     

    We're sorry that some old Extensions are missing for you after updating to Photoshop v22.3

     

    Please note that Extensions are not supported for Mac computer using the M1 processor. Please try and find plugins with the same functionality or contact the extension owner to get your extensions ported to UXP to run as native on M1 devices.

     

    You can still use the older extensions in emulation mode if needed. However, you would need to install the extension while running in Rosetta emulation mode on devices with Apple Silicon M1 processors. Older CEP extensions will not install when running in native. See: If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac

    There are few features not available on Apple Silicon. Also there are some known issues in Photoshop with the native M1 support , for details, see: Photoshop for Apple Silicon

     

    We appreciate your cooperation and patience.

     

    Thanks,

    Akash

    I updated to v22.3.0 today. Eager to try it on the M1 Mac Mini.

     

    Non of my extensions are visible anymore. I've reinstalled them but to no avail. 

    Window->Extensions no longer exists as a menu item.

     

    One of my extensions says to ensure that Preferences->Plugins->Load Extension Panels is enabled by my are greyed out so can not enable them.

      I guess there are plenty of us. Eager to install the native m1 version and ... suddenly none of th epreviously used plugins works.

       

      The question is: will adobe allow for these plugins to be loaded in the future or is there a fundamental incompatibility with the M1 version photoshop that new completely new codes for the plugin ?

      Hi,

      I just upgraded to the new native photoshop for mac M1 chips, however my external extensions are now gone (tk panel, tm panel, orion...). I tried intalling them again with no luck. Does photoshop not support them for the time being?

      Thanks,

      Andrea

        I know there's some features like Preset Syncing and video that aren't supported yet.  Not sure about the external extensions

          I think I've found the reason why the extensions aren't working.

          In the preferences -> plug-ins the whole section "old extensions" is greyed out with unchecked box "load extensions panel".

           

          But the question is if there's any workaround to use the extensions bought outside Creative Cloud marketplace?

            Luckily, filters works fine in my case. The only thing I noticed that's missing are the extensions
