Is it just me but I have activate Viewpoint shown under Help but its shown as activated on the splash screen. I re activated it but still there under Help.
If you mean help menu still have “activate DxO viewpoint” or “activate DxO filmpack” options visible when they are activated, this is the same in PL6 (.12.0).
But acivation works and both works.

Do you have ViewPoint 4? If not, that could be the reason.
Yes I have VP4
I’m guessing the “logic” goes something like this;
-
We don’t know whether the currently activated version of VP is the latest version (and, even if it is now, it may not be at some time in the future) …
-
We don’t want to hard-code the version-number of the “latest” version of VP into PL - - 'cos that just makes for more work in the future (when that version-number needs to be updated - with risk that it will be missed) …
-
So, we’ll leave this option (to activate a new version of VP) permanently available.

Simple and reliable … Job done.
If I were in DxO’s shoes … that’s how I would handle it !
That can’t be true, because each new version of VP is hardcoded into PL. Activating the latest and greatest version has, until now, turned off the activation feature. Plus, this is only happening for ViewPoint, not FilmPack. So I think a new version of ViewPoint is going to be announced very soon - or, this is a bug.

Is this a real problem, or should DxO work on more annoying bugs or real improvments ?
