      User Information:

      Language(s) :     C++  ;

      ---------
      I'm feeling kind of stupid right now. I just don't get why the plugin is not loaded. The .cdl is located
      in C4DPATH/plugins/my-plugin/build/my-plugin.cdl and it won't be loaded by Cinema. However, if I
      put it to C4DPATH/plugins/my-plugin/my-plugin.cdl it is loaded.

      What the? What's the matter? 😲

      Thanks in advance

      Niklas

        Seems like Cinema skips directories that are called "build"? Because if I rename it, the plugin is loaded.

          You are right. This is done for developer convenience.
          There are some more subdirectory names ignored on plugin start:
          coffee
          res
          resource
          source
          obj
          build
          api
          every subdir beginning with strings_ or _api
          every subdir ending on xcodeproj

          I'll have this info added to the SDK docs.
