8bi Photoshop Plugins not detected

[FaceCrap]

Ok, I give up, I've tried three ways from Sunday,
I can add the folder through Effect > Adobe Photoshop Plugin... > Configure, but after clicking OK, the dialog I return to stays blank...
So next I added a 8bf folder like exists for XNview, copied the plugin folder into it, but no go there either.
Thought ok, maybe needs an 8bi folder (since it's an 8bi plugin, not an 8bf) but that too didn't work.

I'm not sure that 8bi is same as 8bf, could you send me a example file?

XnView Classic and MP support Photoshop-compatible filters (.8bf). .8bi OTOH are file format plug-ins.

As the next poster indicated, they are indeed not the same thing.

Thank you, that explains a lot. I never used Photoshop or plugins for it before, so didn't know there are different types.
