Hi. I am unable to add any plugin to Far Manager 3. I used path "C:\Program Files\Far Manager\Plugins" and also "C:\Users\...\Application Data\Far Manager\Profile\Plugins". I created directory in both these folders and copied the plugin files to them. The plugin is not displayed after pressing F11. Please help.

1. Do you add plugins with the same "bitness" as Far Manager itself (32 bit or 64 bit)?
2. Do you restart Far Manager after adding plugins?
3. What plugins?

1. I use Far Manager v3.0.3387 (64-bit) but I didn't find any instructions to match plugin and Far Manager "bitness".
2. I do restart Far Manager after adding plugin.
3. Plugin is MP3 Utilities v2.0.

I found MediaInfo x64 and will have to use it instead of MP3 Utilities, thanks.

They have to match otherwise the plugin won't be loaded.
MP3 Utilities is most probably a 32-bit plugin.
