Photo shop plugins: "plugin.dll missing"

I use the latest xnview/windows. If I add the photoshop cs plugin path to the plugins, xnview complains about a missing plugin.dll, as often as there are 8bf files

I've tried to reproduce your problem, but didn't succeed. FAIK XnView does not use a plug-in named "plugin.dll", so my guess is that that plug-in is needed by one of the .8BF plugins. Perhaps when XnView loads the .8BF plug-in, the sub-plug-in "plugin.dll" is needed but cannot be found in the paths XnView is looking in.
But this is just guessing, think only Pierre can help here.

Is there a way to workaround this problem for Squeller?
