Very quick app I made to help me organise all my Photoshop plug-in filters! Now available to download from my website.

All it does is to offer a fast way to enable/disable plug-ins, so you can install as many as you like without having to worry about completely uninstalling as you can disable them on a temporary basis with this utility and switch them back on when you need to.

This has to be done BEFORE starting Photoshop (or other graphics host program) though in order for the new settings to take effect.

At the moment I have only made it work with standard Photoshop (.8bf) filters, plus Premiere (.prm) and After Effects (*.aex) plug-ins ... but I can always expand this later to include other host filter formats if necessary.

I know that most of you filter-addicts will already be using the excellent Plugin Commander utility from the Pluginsite.com (which I also use too!), and my app is in no way trying to compete or replace that ... it's just a very simple alternative tool for one specific task.

Hope some of you find it handy anyway!

Steve

I'm currently working on expanding this utility to work with other host programs and plug-ins/presets. If anyone has any suggestions on what hosts they'd like to see added then please feel free to let me know! I need to find out lists of extensions to use so all feedback will be much appreciated, thanks.

Here's a quick screenshot of the latest version in progress anyway.
