Managing Plug-Ins in ACDSee

Once you have created and added plug-ins to ACDSee, you can use the Plug-in Settings dialog box within the application to manage plug-ins. The Plug-in Settings dialog box displays a list of all the ACDSee plug-ins installed on your computer, including your own. You can also use the Plug-in Settings dialog box to control which plug-ins ACDSee uses.

Disabling a Plug-In

You can disable a plug-in in the Plug-in Settings dialog box so that ACDSee no longer uses it.

To Disable a Plug-In:

  1. In the Plug-in Settings dialog box, select one of the Plug-in tabs.
  2. Clear the checkbox beside the name of the plug-in that you do not want ACDSee to use.
  3. Click OK.

Changing the Plug-In Order

Some file formats can be supported by more than one plug-in. However, when this happens, you can control which plug-in is used to read or write a file format. The order that plug-ins appear in the Plug-in Settings dialog box is the order that ACDSee uses the plug-ins to read or write a file.

To Change the Plug-In Order:

  1. In the Plug-in Settings dialog box, select one of the plug-in tabs.
  2. Select a plug-in from the Plug-ins list.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Click the Move up button to move the plug-in higher in the list.
    • Click the Move down button to move the plug-in lower in the list.
  4. Click OK.
