Hello,

Im not very experienced with windows development.

I compiled and linked one of the examples in the photoshop sdk with dmc.
The plugin sucessfully loads and executes in photoshop.

Essentially photoshop filter-plugins are dll's, but they must be copied into photoshops plugin folder and they must be renamed from "plugin.dll" to "plugin.8bf".
I have no debug symbols for the main application (photoshop)

So how should I debug this beast?

I did not get any further than to assembly level, where photoshop stopped at some int 3 instructions. No symbols loaded.

TIA,

Peter

I had more success using another host-application than photoshop.
The dll halted at the first breakpoint.

But then I couldnt step or go, again hanging at "int 3" in the main application. Mostly the same using windbg. I am asking myself if there are some "magic" registry settings, that could help or a third-party debugger ...
