Yes, and this is exactly why I ask these questions. I personally don't think that scripting examples needs to be installed. But of course we can do that.
But I still think we should make the xsl "plugins" not just a plugins folder. I propose to install the python wizards share/kicad/plugins/scripting and the xsl stuff as share/kicad/plugins/xsl. This instead of the lib/kicad/plugins where the xsl files are located now. In this way they are located in the same place, but still seperated in different folder. I am open for input for this. 2015-09-28 19:58 GMT+02:00 Wayne Stambaugh <[email protected]>: > I just discovered the python plugins are not installed on any platform > but apple.
