Dear Al, BEWARE of PLUGINS! I innocently loaded a few without realizing that they expose your entire system to potential damage, or viruses. Architecturally, QC itself is kind of like a plug-in and a more reasonable approach would be to write your own wrapper code. There is nothing that can be accomplished by a pluig-in that can't be better accomplished by making the 'round-trip' to some objective-c code. Plugins are an absurd and ridiculous technique for any discussion of performance and that should be clear to anyone who has a bit of system experience. They do represent a way of packaging some code for sale, and I suggest that you wait until the AppStore hosts these as a way of ensuring a 'trustworthy' source. I might also point out that they are written in objective c and pehaps should be discussed on another more appropriate list. Since QC has introduced no new graphics format, performance questions might be also directed to the respective lists (quickTime,Cocoa-dev). So far, plug-ins has given license for someone to talk about completely unrelated issues, under the rubrik of QC. sincerely, aram On Wednesday, July 16, 2008, at 06:51AM, "Ali Demirel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hello there, > >I am trying to open the Plugins which come with Quartz Composer >application, however, I got this error message: > > > (null) ><QCNodeManager | namespace = "com.apple.QuartzComposer" | 376 nodes>: >Patch with name "QCPlugInPatch:SimpleTextPlugIn" is missing > > > Macro Patch >Cannot create node of class "QCPlugInPatch" and identifier >"SimpleTextPlugIn" > > > Macro Patch >Cannot create connection from ["outputString" @ >"PlugInPatch_SimpleTextPlugIn_1"] to ["inputString" @ "TextImage_1"] > > > (null) >State restoration failed on <QCPatch = 0x15DB5580 "(null)"> > >I thought may be I should copy the plugin file to the appropriate >location >/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins/ >or >/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Patches/ >like I did for other plugins like Kineme plugins, however, I can not >find any file in the plugin format to copy there.
