ThreadText: # View list of installed plugins in Cinema 4D
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-05-24)
  
  How do you view a list or in some way know that a plugin was loaded in Cinema 4D? A friend of mine sent me a plugin he made and wanted me to try it, but I can't tell if it's even loaded.
  
  Not sure if this is the right place for this question.
  
  Thanks in advance!

  There is a `plugins` folder in your **installation directory**. Whether you are on mac or a windows machine, all installed plugins are listed there.
  
  Search for a tutorial, the manual or some images to identify in which area or viewport it's used.
