Is there a default path for the NConvert plugins on Mac?
While I can get NConvert v6.8.8 to convert webp on the Mac (Thank you for the updated version), I can't figure out the correct path to store the plugin files, e.g. webp.dylib.
I tried /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib/Plugins. Neither works. The readme files included with the binary don't seem to address plugins on the Mac OS version.
The only way I can get to work so far is to include a Plugins folder in the current working directory—which is not optimal. What am I missing?

You must have:
nconvert
Plugins/webp.dylib
nconvert
Plugins/webp.dylib

Re: Is there a default path for the NConvert plugins on Mac?
That did not work for me on OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). nconvert is located in /usr/local/bin. Putting a Plugins folder in /usr/local/bin with the plugin webp.dylib still fails:
The only thing that I've found to work is a Plugins folder in the current working directory.
To wrap-up with /usr/local/bin/nconvert these do not work:
/usr/local/bin/Plugins/webp.dylib
/usr/local/lib/Plugins/webp.dylib
/usr/local/lib/webp.dylib

Re: Is there a default path for the NConvert plugins on Mac?
Thanks but it's a Linux build not Mac.
Once you post the Mac version, do the plugins go in /usr/local/bin/Plugins or some other path?
Code: Select all

sorry this one
the plugins must be in same folder of nconvert
the plugins must be in same folder of nconvert

Re: Is there a default path for the NConvert plugins on Mac?
Thanks but still did not work with 6.90:
The path in stdout is new but still indicates it's expects the Plugins folder in the current working directory. nconvert is located in /usr/local/bin as is the Plugins folder with webp.dylib.
Code: Select all
nconvert -out jpeg 005-00.webp
exe <nconvert>
</Users/username/xnview test/test/Plugins/>

Re: Is there a default path for the NConvert plugins on Mac?
the folder is not ?
Code: Select all
/Users/username/xnview test/test/Plugins

Re: Is there a default path for the NConvert plugins on Mac?
No that Folder does not exist. If I did place it there it would work as that's the current working directory. This worked the same way in 6.88 as well. Putting a Plugins in folder in each working directory is not really something I care to do.
My apologies if I misunderstood the question.

what is the folder of nconvert?
Pierre.

/usr/local/bin/
Re: Is there a default path for the NConvert plugins on Mac?
Is there some nconvert specific environmental variable that needs to be set? Something like:
Code: Select all
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/"

That worked great. Thank you!
