Hi all. You would think all the plugin stacks would be "known" by the IDE, but when I attempt to open a plugin by name, either short name or the actual file name (without the path) Livecode cannot find it. There is no SpecialFolderPath option for the plugins folder. (Maybe there should be??) S

If this is just for your own Dev use then the installed plugins should be in 2 locations, on Mac inside the App bundle; e.g. /Applications/LiveCode Indy 9.0.1.app/Contents/Tools/Plugins I’d guess a similar location in Widows inside the App folder. The user installed plugins should be in the "My

The first solution is great if you need to enumerate the plugins. The second is good for just prepending the path before the stack name. Works a peach! Thanks guys. >> On Oct 12, 2018, at 12:45 , Paul Hibbert via use-livecode >> wrote: >> >> revIDEPlugins() >> On Oct 12, 2018, at 12:48 ,

Have you tried adding a delay? It could be that the sendkeys is happening before the app is ready for input. (Have not tried from LC, but I do something similar in a .vbs file.) Wsh.AppActivate "Notepad" : WScript.Sleep 500 Thanks, Brian On Oct 12, 2018, 4:38 PM -0500, Tom Glod via use-livecode
