Just make another Plugins2 folder (or any folder name of your choice) as an XnView sub-folder, put that file in there, then add that folder to the directories it searches for in the setup Options > System integration > Adobe Plugins. On checking just now I find they already use the pre-created \XnView\8bf\ folder as the default Adobe Plugins folder. Just drop it there. Then restart the program. Or make a sub-folder in the 8bf folder with its Plugin name so you know what that specific 8bf file refers to. Not necessary but it comes in handy later when you're updating or moving files around. Considering that I test and use so many different editors, and use so many different graphic applications, it became habit to create the following folders on my HDDs. If you suspect that you'll be using more than one editor or getting into collecting many masks and other associated files useful for all graphic editors, you might like to do something similar. C:\Program Files\GraphicsAddons\Brushes\ C:\Program Files\GraphicsAddons\Masks\ C:\Program Files\GraphicsAddons\Palettes\ C:\Program Files\GraphicsAddons\Patterns\ C:\Program Files\GraphicsAddons\Plugins\ C:\Program Files\GraphicsAddons\Stamps\ C:\Program Files\GraphicsAddons\Tiles\ etc. This way I can point all my editors' default folder-paths to those specific folders for the related program requirements, without having to replicate all those files for each editor in their own sub-folders. A centrally shared application library, if you will. Many programs use similar file-type conventions for all these editor's purposes. Photoline, my favorite, will even read and make use of all the mask, color-palette, gradient, pattern, brush, and stamp (or "tube") files that are specifically formatted for many other editors. It's very cross-platform friendly. One that does it all. Since there are so many freeware sources for these file types for so many editing programs, your graphic editor add-on library can become a significant addition to your arsenal of tools.

Excellent methodology. I personally use the more standard paradigm of placing them in the "C:\Program Files\Common Files" sub-tree. -- Best regards, John Buying a dSLR doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a dSLR owner.
