Hey, I was hoping someone could help me understand PiPL versions. I have had some problems with a warning flag when I apply my plugin in after effects, getting a warning flag that says:
"effect has version mismatch. Code version is 2.0 and PiPL version is 2.0 (108600) (25 :: 16)"
This is a pretty unhelpful message as 2.0 == 2.0.
I've found I can make the error go away if I dutifully replicate the header and pipl versioning found on the adobe sdk examples, but this is kind of annoying and I'd like to understand it better.
To load without error, my PiPL resource looks like this:
AE_PiPL_Version { 2, 0 },
AE_Effect_Version { 1048577 } /* 2.0 */
and my plugin header looks like this:
#define MAJOR_VERSION 2
#define MINOR_VERSION 0
#define BUG_VERSION 0
#define STAGE_VERSION PF_Stage_DEVELOP
#define BUILD_VERSION 1
I'm guessing the "code version" the warning refers to is a concatenation of major and minor versions, and it seems the "PiPL version" the warning is reporting comes from AE_Effect_Version (1048577) and NOT AE_PiPL_Version (2,0).
If I change ANY of the values in the plugin header (not just major/minor versions), I get the warning. So I suspect the AE_Effect_Version number is some kind of a hash of all the version info (major, minor, bug, stage, build versions), and that the warning is a bit misleading.
Can anyone explain more about that number, 1048577? Is it some kind of hex value? Thanks!
