  8. @felixthehat Not sure when/if I can dig-in to a port/recompile, but I'll add it to my to-do list to check out. 9:32 AM May 16th via TweetDeck in reply to felixthehat
  9. @felixthehat Just looked at their SDK: "must recompile plug-ins built with an earlier version"..."in order for them to run in CS6" 9:31 AM May 16th via TweetDeck in reply to felixthehat
  10. @felixthehat Are you using the 32- or 64-bit version of Illustrator CS6? I haven't tried yet, but I doubt it would work with 64-bit. 9:24 AM May 16th via TweetDeck in reply to felixthehat
