Managing plug-ins

The Plug-in Settings dialog box displays a list of all the ACD Systems plug-ins installed on your computer. You can also use the Plug-in Settings dialog box to control which plug-ins ACDSee 12 uses.

To access the Plug-in Settings dialog box:

In Manage mode, click Tools | Plug-in Settings.

Disabling a plug-in

You can disable a plug-in in the Plug-in Settings dialog box so that ACDSee 12 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 check box beside the name of the plug-in that you do not want ACDSee 12 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 12 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 in 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.

ACDSee Photo Manager Note Managing plug ins

Susie plug-ins do not have the features and speed of ACD Systems plug-ins. Therefore, it is recommended that you give Susie plug-ins a low priority to prevent them from being used instead of an ACD Systems plug-in. Also, you can disable Susie plug-ins that overlap the file formats that ACD Systems plug-ins support.
