Hidden Patches?

Hi, I have installed many Kineme patches, and other various patches, but I can't find some. Most recent example is the "Face Detect" patch. It appears in the "Disclosure effect" plug in, which works, and I see the Macro,

But when I search for it, under any name, I can not find it in the library. Any ideas on why it is obviously on my computer but I can not find it (or any place I could find these "sort of missing" patches?

They're probably inside the contents of the QuartzComposer app if they aren't in one of the os's external compositions or quartz composer patches folders.

Is there a way I could "unhide" them or make them visible and use them?

Try holding the option key while opening Quartz Composer >Preferences. Then on the System tab scroll to the bottom and select "QCShowPrivatePatches". This should make them show up in the Patch Library.
