Peter, You can define your own plugins folder and install DGH (or other plugins) in it with no problem of permissions. Follow these steps: 1) Create a folder in your disk to install additional LC stuff. For example a folder "My_LiveCode" located here: home/theslug/My_LiveCode 2) Check your LC preferences. In the "Files & memory" tab, you have the path for "User extensions". Select the folder you created in step 1). You should obtain something like: home/theslug/My_LiveCode 3) Quit LC 4) In the home/theslug/My_LiveCode folder, create a new folder named: Plugins (this name is case sensitive, so be sure to have P in uppercase) 5) Copy DGH in the Plugins folder located here: home/theslug/My_LiveCode/Plugins 6) Launch LC. DGH should ask for an update 7) Confirm the update. All should be working as expected. Best regards, -- -Zryip TheSlug- wish you the best! 8) http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
