building a plug-in host

Hi!



I am looking for building a ''plug-in host'' for photoshop plug-ins. In other words: an application that accepts photoshop plug-ins

Did, someone know where I can find help on this topic?

I read that latest SDK from adobe don't expose API for building plug-in hosts meaning that I should use older SDK.. Is this true?



I am planning to use my application with photoshop filters plug-in and my on HDR Tone Mapper plug-in.



Thanks

Tom

I don't think any version of the sdk is supposed to be used for building a plug-in host ... anyway, besides photoshop I only know of two apps that also accept photoshop plugins: irfanview and gimp. gimp is gnu, so you should be able to get your hands on the source (www.gimp.org) and maybe it will give you some clues on how to built a host yourself.

Older SDKs are not available from Adobe. I think (without having any

inside information) that Adobe wish to make this as difficult as they

possibly can, they do not see any commercial advantage in there being

additional plug-in hosts.

Do you hear those black helicopters hovering over your house?

Tom did you ever find help in creating a host plug-in app ?



I'm able to execute some NON Adobe plugs-ins but having problems with display code or my AdvanceState proc when moving large image around in smaller dialog windows display. Many of the Adobe plug-ins are attempting to aquire a suite only used by Adobe plug-ins and is not documented anywhere.
