Apple's PluginManager 1.7.3 Utility Update
To address a backward compatibility issue, Apple released PluginManager 1.7.3. PluginManager handles Apple and third-party filters used by Aperture as well as Final Cut Pro, Motion, Logic Studio. It also controls the filters of SDKs for Aperture and FCP.
From Apple's support page:
PluginManager 1.7.3 will be triggered if any one of these plugins is present on your computer:
1.7.0 - 1.7.2, "/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework"
1.2.0 - 1.2.2, "/Library/Frameworks/FxPlug.framework"
1.2.0 - 1.2.2, "/Library/Frameworks/ProFX.framework"
1.2.0 - 1.2.2, "/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Internal Plug-Ins/ProFX/FxPlugWrapper.plugin"
They will be replaced with:
1.7.3, "/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework"
1.2.3, "/Library/Frameworks/FxPlug.framework"
1.2.3, "/Library/Frameworks/ProFX.framework"
1.2.3, "/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Internal Plug-Ins/ProFX/FxPlugWrapper.plugin"
This update is recommended for all users of Aperture and other pro apps. Fire up software update or click here to download the update from Apple.

Does this program run automatically if you have one of the listed plugins on your system? I was not able to find the program once it is downloaded.
Thanks -
Hi Dudley,
Aperture's export plugins are not programs that you launch separately. Once you install them, it runs with/inside Aperture. To run the plugin, and with your image or images selected (to which you'd like to apply the export plugin), in the toolbar, go to File > Export > Plugin. Likewise, you can run it by right-clicking on the image/s or any of the Project, Folder, Album, Smart Album, Book, Light Table, Web Gallery, Web Journal, Web Page, or Smart Web Page. From the drop-down menu, choose Export, and then the particular plug-in you want. I hope this helps. All the best to you.
