Removing iPhoto Plugins

Hi there

I have a couple of iPhoto plugins I have downloaded and used in recent months to try out various ways of exporting my photos from iPhoto '09. When I try to export photos in the usual way (File > Export), I get a tabbed dialog opening where I can choose which plugin to export with - for example, Web Page, Facebook etc. etc.

I no longer have need for some of these plugins, and I can't find any official uninstallation information -- sort of teaches me to think before I click...!

Is there a way to force these plugins out from wherever they're hiding, so I can put them into Trash and get rid of them forever?

For reference, I'd like the following plugins removed:
- SimpleViewer
- Facebook
- WebExport
whilst keeping the standard plugins (File Export, QuickTime, Web Page and Slideshow).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

My iPhoto Applicaiton is 172.9 MB

The "get info" goes

Sharing & permissions

You might have to click the little gray triangle to the left of the category to expand it

Are you looking at the iPhoto library instead of the application?


in the finder go to your *applications folder* and right click (control click) on the *iPhoto application* - select "get info" and near the bottom of the resulting window there is a list of plugins - uncheck the ones you no longer want

Neither the Language nor the Plug Ins show up under 10.6

To remove plug-ins the Hard Way...

Right Click on the iPhoto.app icon in your Applications Folder and choose 'Show Package Contents' from the resulting menu. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed. Inside the Contents Folder locate the Plug Ins folder. The plug ins can be removed from there.
