| New: Use MuRa plugins with Vista |

This is a copy/paste from Harry Heim's 'Plugin Site' newsletter:"There have
been a lot of reports from people who were trying to make
the MuRa's Filter Meister plugins (http://mura.hey.to) work under Windows
Vista, but did not manage to. Unfortunately the author of these
plugins cannot be contacted, so he cannot be asked to update them. There
are
also several other plugin created with FilterMeister which have been
more or less abandoned. As it is not quite legal to provide downloads of
modified version of these plugins, I and Alex Hunter from
FilterMeister.com decided to provide a tool that lets people modify these
plugins to
make them work again under Vista. For more information on this tool
called FM Patcher see below.FM PATCHER 1.0: Makes FilterMeister plugins
Vista-compatible-------------------------------------
FM Patcher is a small application for making .8bf Photoshop plugins
work under Windows Vista. However, FM Patcher only modifies plugins that
were created with older versions of FilterMeister. Photoshop plugins
that were not created with FilterMeister cannot be made Vista-compatible
with this tool.
Normally developers just need to recompile their plugins with the
latest FilterMeister release to make them Vista-compatible. Unfortunately
some developers abandon their plugins. So we decided to create FM Patcher
to enable users of these old plugins to make them work under Vista.
At the moment FM Patcher does not fix the problem that old
FilterMeister plugins have with activated Data Execution Prevention (DEP).
You
still need to deactivate DEP in your control panel or place your graphics
application on the DEP exclusion list.
