Hello,

Im not very experienced with windows development.

I compiled and linked one of the examples in the photoshop sdk with dmc.
The plugin sucessfully loads and executes in photoshop.

Essentially photoshop filter-plugins are dll's, but they must be copied 
into photoshops plugin folder and they must be renamed from "plugin.dll" 
to "plugin.8bf".
I have no debug symbols for the main application (photoshop)

So how should I debug this beast?

I did not get any further than to assembly level, where photoshop 
stopped at some int 3 instructions. No symbols loaded.

TIA,

Peter

The dll halted at the first breakpoint.

But then I couldnt step or go, again hanging at "int 3" in the main 
application. Mostly the same using windbg. I am asking myself if there 
are some "magic" registry settings, that could help or a third-party 
debugger ...
