I have a third party plug-in installed for PhotoShop CS3.

The third party plug-in disappears after installation of a localization patch. I tried reinstalling the plug-in, but that does not work.

It appears that after the patch is installed, tw10428.dat maps the English texts on the menu to Korean.

"$$$/Menu/Help/AboutPhotoshop=Photoshop 정보(&A)…" " $$$/Menu/Help/AboutPlugin=플러&#4453 6;-인 정보(&B)"
"$$$/Menu/Help/Contents=Photoshop 도움말(&H)…" "$$$/Menu/Help/Home=Photoshop 온라인(&O)…"
[…]

And somehow, the third party plug-in disappears because it’s not mapped in the .dat file. I tried manually editing the file and to input entries for the third party tool and that does not seem to work.

Do you know how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

The tw10428.dat file has NOTHING to do with third party plugins. It just contains the localized strings for Photoshop.

If the plugin is now showing up in Photoshop, then most likely it is not installed correctly.

Chris,

How can I install it correctly? It is

The plug-in was working fine before the patch. The patch is just an executable which I ran after I closed Photoshop.

There wasn’t any error message and the instance of Photoshop works fine when I re-run it other than the fact that the plug-in is no longer in the menu.

Again, if the plugin is not in the menu – the plugin is not installed correctly.

I don’t know what patch you are talking about, because Photoshop dot releases won’t alter plugin loading like that.

PLEASE check that the plugin is installed correctly – rerun the plugin installer if you have to, check the manual about when the plugin is enabled or not, etc.
