More, M, sph.Vigne
More, M, sph.zPerspector

# ----- stuff i am not interested in, goes into the last tab
Stuff, S, SelectiveColor/SelectiveColorWidget.ui
Stuff, S, MirrorInvert.ui[/code]
- under Metadata I get a menu item called "Form" (see below) with a Manager selection at the bottom that does not work. I don't see "Form" anywhere in the file, Tools or Plugins. Where does this come from, what is its function?

- Even though I included Vigne and zPerspector under More, they appear under "Plugins 1" in the tabs. Grain and Presets appear in the More tab.

Any ideas?

You've got the identifiers wrong...

tin.tin.zPerspector
com.kbarni.vigne

Remember to go into the Help/About dialog to see the proper identifiers for your plugins.

Thanks B4b5 - the identifier for zPerspector worked but not the one for Vigne.

Remember to go into the Help/About dialog to see the proper identifiers for your plugins.

Claudermilk - I couldn't find any obvious Help/About for the plugins but after looking around I found a "Flight of the Bibbles" page posted by afx about plugins which led me to the Info.afpxml file for Vigne. There I found that the correct identifier is now com.Corel. The plugins are in their tabs now.

Afx, didn't see your earlier note on the previous page when I wrote this - now I see where the identifiers are in the Help/System info, but in the meantime I learned some more about the files.

If you go into Help > System Info... and then scroll down you will find a list of Plugins.
Most of mine are in <User Home>/Plugins but one (B&W) is in <System Home>/Plugins.

[claudermilk]

Yes, System Info is what I meant. For all the add-on plugins, all you need is the ID. The blog posting is a good start and has most of the built-in tools defined that you can simply copy/paste.

Hi,
I'm new to fiddling with the UI and was able to easily use the examples provided above.
Many many thanks to you all for sharing!!

I'd just like to rearrange the plugins, but keep the original tools where they normally are. Now, when I ust this customToolsUI.txt, all the normal tools won't show up. What do I have to add to preserve the original tools in their original order?

Regards,

Joachim

Someone posted a starter shell of CustomToolUI which reproduces the ASP defaults but I am afraid I can't remember who!

Over a fortnight ago - seems like a lifetime in ASP learning terms

Did you ever read the original blog post?
Instructions on how to find the original tools where posted there.

Anyway, MirrorInvert.ui is what you are looking for.
