I just got back a disk of photos processed at Wallgreens Drug. On the disk are a slew of Powercadd plug ins...at least they have the same icon as powercadd plug ins.
But they don't open in, or add anything to Powercadd that I can do. Does anyone know about what these are about?

It's a new upgrade distribution strategy by ES.

These will be files from some other application that has assigned them with the same File Type code that is used by PowerCADD. This is a hidden code on Mac operating systems.
Once upon a time Apple had a registry for Type codes so the likelihood of these conflicts occurring was reduced. They've dumped that now.

I've seen this too, and it doesn't have anything to do with PowerCADD. The Finder can get a little lost and use an existing program icon for a file, but it doesn't mean anything. It's probably the result of opening a jpeg file with PowerCADD.

Peter sent me the file and it has nothing to do with PowerCADD. It was a Win32 DLL (digital linked library) which is a Windows programming thing and probably on the disk as part of the software to play a slide show or something. The icon was from Metrowerks Codewarrior. Probably on a Windows machine, it would have been invisible and it's certainly irrelevant to the photo images on Peter's Mac. I advised him to throw it away and not to worry about it.
