InDesign 21.5 — kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss fails with error 29441 on Volumes network-mounted paths
kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss returns error 29441 ("Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation") when placing image files located on SMB/WebDAV network volumes mounted under Volumes. The same file, same mount, and same plugin code succeed in InDesign 21.4.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Mount a network share via SMB/WebDAV so it appears as /Volumes/<servername>/
2. Confirm the target image file exists on the mount (stat returns valid inode)
3. From a plugin, call kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss with the file path pointing to the mounted volume
4. Observe error 29441 after approximately 7 seconds (network I/O timeout)
Expected Behavior
Image is placed successfully, as it was in InDesign 21.4.
Actual Behavior
ProcessCommand(kImportAndPlaceCmdBoss) blocks for ~7 seconds then returns 29441. ErrorUtils::PMGetGlobalErrorString() returns:
Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation.
