Deoldify Vapoursynth filter

[Dan64]

In the new RC4, the following plugins: Retinex.dll, MiscFilters.dll, ReduceFlicker.dll
Will be automatically loaded by HAVC as needed.
It is not necessary that you add the loading of these plugins in the script.

Okay,.. sounds like a bad idea to me, but no problem.
I assume that you will only implement the autoloading for Windows.

MiscFilters: still hoping https://github.com/adworacz/zscene will be changed to not require an external call,...

I tested it and it works. Here an example of loading the SCDetect filter

vsutils_dir: str = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
MiscFilter_dir: str = os.path.join(vsutils_dir, "..", "..", "..", "..", "..", "vsfilters", "MiscFilter", "MiscFilters")

def load_SCDetect_plugin() -> bool:
    """
    Ensures SCDetect VapourSynth plugin is loaded.
    """

    plugin_path = os.path.join(MiscFilter_dir, "MiscFilters.dll")

    try:
        if hasattr(vs.core, 'misc') and hasattr(vs.core.misc, 'SCDetect'):
            HAVC_LogMessage(MessageType.INFORMATION,"[INFO] Plugin 'SCDetect' already loaded.")
            return True
        else:
            vs.core.std.LoadPlugin(path=plugin_path)
            HAVC_LogMessage(MessageType.INFORMATION, f"[INFO] Plugin 'SCDetect' loaded from: {plugin_path}")
            return True
    except Exception as error:
        HAVC_LogMessage(MessageType.WARNING, "[WARNING] Plugin 'SCDetect': check/load failed ->", str(error))
        return False

The code is path-independent and does not explicitly use directory separators.
