Richard,

Yes, this works!

Now as for the reason:

The plugin is intended for use with a particular rev stack and not for use
with any other rev stack.  If the user has the right target stack in memory
then h/s gets access to the tools provided with the plugin.  If the
aforementioned stack isn't in memory the plugin won't launch and access to
the tools is denied.

The reason it is visible in the plug-ins folder is that authorized users may
have a need to invoke its resources under certain circumstances.
Unauthorized users may copy the plugin but it won't work.

Yes, I am being a bit vague.  Sorry. :-)


Thanks for for the tip.

Regards,

Steve
