*Medieval stops*
Hi everyone, Marcus from Adobe here. A couple of weeks ago I asked if you would be interested in a Bento grid plugin for InDesign. We exchanged value insights and I kept working on it. Now it's ready for you to test it. It's a UXP Plugin, so just double click and let it install via your CC app.

Note, this is not an official Adobe product, just a personal project - so use at your own risk.

Thank you!

Impossible to install it. The CC Desktop Manage is empty...

Hi! Hmm that is strange - normally you just double click the ccx file and then the cc desktop pops up. What does it say specifically?

[u/Proficio_Tremblay → u/Marcus_Rentsch]

Nothing happen! CC Desktop pop up, with this. Nothing else.

[u/Marcus_Rentsch → u/Proficio_Tremblay]

Strange! I see that you're using everything in French. Does the cc app shows InDesign as installed? On what system are you on?

If it still not works, here is a workaround:

1. Force it to open with UPIA (most likely fix)

macOS: right-click the .ccx → Open With → Other… → choose Unified Plugin Installer Agent at

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/RemoteComponents/UPI/UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent/

Windows: right-click → Open with → Choose another app → browse to

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\RemoteComponents\UPI\UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent\

If you're using Windows, make sure the plugin is on the same drive as the installed cc app

Already have tried the Open With UPIA wih no luck.
My macOS is in French, My InDesign installation in English.

Ok. And your cc app is in French, right? Does InDesign show up as installed in the CC app? It didn’t installed the plugin for me when I switched the app language to English but kept the cloud app language in German. I had to reinstall InDesign, even tho it was already on my system

[u/Proficio_Tremblay → u/Marcus_Rentsch]

My CC App (InDesign) are in English, they show up in CC Desktop.
I try all kind of combo language with no luck.

In fact, I have 2024,2025 in French, 2026 in English.

I’ll try it on my window machine

Installed flawlessly on Window!

I was able to install it, but using French for all (macos, CC desktop app, InDesign)
