Subject: Script for Applying Old Settings to New Effects

Hi everyone,

My company recently upgraded to CS6 from CS5, and we took the opportunity
to upgrade many of our plugins as well.  Tiffen was part of this
transition, and we went from v2.0.2.1 to 3.0.9.6.

Every time that we go to open a CS5 project that was created using v2
Tiffen effects, AE reports that the project contains several links to
effects that don't exist.  In reality, the effects are installed perfectly
fine on our boxes.  It simply seems that Tiffen didn't implement any way
for v3 effects to naturally inherit settings/keyframes from v2.

I just opened a trouble ticket with Tiffen, but the broader question I
wanted to ask pertains to upgrading plugins in general.

Is there any sort of script/tool that can batch apply old plugin settings
to new effects with the same name/attributes?  Unfortunately, you can't
even copy/paste between the two versions :-(

Thank you so much for your help!
