.....that was correct, it was the problem I was having
___________________

The problem here was that for double-click install the plugin file would awaken ASPro and appear to be installing but actually was not (not writing data to the files path to /library/....plugins.

I found an old zTEXT folder in the files path ...../library/........plugins which was giving the appearance of install and functioning for setup/preset in ASPro v.1.2.07 and showing the © text on the ASP edit displayed file but the text was not showing on the output file.

I deleted the 'old' zTEXT plugin folder, there was no zSHADOW or zFRAME folders because I did not know before now that it was mandatory to intall zSHADOW or zFRAME to have zTEXT work properly.

Not working for me at ASPro v.1.2.0.7: are the install types 1) double-click install nor 2) drag to ASPPro, for any of the plugins.
______________________

But, AfterShot Pro, File, Install Plugin... did work and each did install correctly with that procedure and zTEXT preset works as expected.

tintin, your response to my query was exactly what I needed to research the problem and get the plugin working, I very much appreciate that. :D

...is there a way to remove ztext from a photo file once ztext has posted 'text' to the photo file.

Thank you,

you mean, to remove the text from a photo, right?
in such case it shouldn't matter which tool put the text on it, does it?
...and... no, how should this work?

but it should easily be possible to open the raw-file (or the original jpeg) again, disabling zText and export the image again....

Wanted to know if Ztext and Zperspector are stated for an update to work with ASP2.2.. these 2 plugins coupled with Wavelet Denoise and Sharpen are the only reason I used ASP 2.. with the 2.2 update, these plugins don't work and ASP 2.2 has been sitting useless in my Mac.

Keep up the great work on these awesome plugins and hope to see an update for 2.2..

I really hate how Corel is treating the developers and users... I read you had provided the updated plugin ZPerspector almost 3 weeks ago and Corel still has not posted it to it'S users...

On Mac, ASP 2.2.1 (july 23 2015 update) is giving issues that render it unusable... very hard to recommend Corel products in the future..

developers like tintin and spoilerhead are amazing for the support they keep giving ASP 2 users.. keep up the great work an hopefully a competent dev at Corel will arrive to clean all the issues on the Mac app..

I am also anxiously waiting for the zText to get support for 2.2. But I do understand that these things take time. (My own attempts at writing plugins were sadly terminated by the API changes...)
