why does this sub-forum even exist?
It doesn't even get posts about iPad video conversion!
As Finale comes with TGTools Lite and Patterson plug-ins, then it must be supplying the PDK to Tobias and Robert, or at the very least condoning or supporting the creation of plug-ins by people other than MM. Certainly, the architecture still exists, and plug-ins are being written and maintained by MM itself.
So, either MM only trusts a small number of third-party developers to write plug-ins; or there is some other development afoot, like a fundamental re-write of the architecture.
I downloaded the PDK when it was possible to do so, and to me it looked like a complete clusterf... errr, convoluted and over-complicated piece of kit.
However, I think anyone who is interesting is writing -- or indeed USING -- plug-ins should submit a request to MM that the PDK, or some form of modular architecture, be made available, or some statement about it's future be made.
There are many indispensable features of TGTools, without which some tasks would be a serious chore.

I seriously doubt MM is going to totally re architect things, but its possible that as they move forward with incremental changes they are finding it difficult to do so without breaking the PDK and they don't want to have to keep it up to date too. The sad news is that yes, in the future I suspect many existing plugins are going to break on future versions of Finale and that sucks.
Hopefully Finalescript will be improved enough to keep us all happy. But anyone with a large collection of homemade plugins is probably gonna be SOL. Very sad to hear it, as for me the PDK was a very nice feature of Finale.
Regarding Patterson and TGTools, I find it hard to believe that MM would cut them off, so either they are getting insider info to keep their stuff up to date or else Finale will have to be improved to include those features. maybe they could just buy those guys out and end 90% of the need for plugins at all. | | Back to Top | |
