Full Version: installing plugins in new beta

Show messages: All  1-3  4-8

still having issues with scripts/commands installed in the commands folder.

I have always, for the last 14 years, copied the .js and .htm files into the commands folder, as instructed by Michael, but everytime I install an update of MoI, I have to reinstall the files and redefine the shortcuts in the options/shortcut keys menu.

could it be that the upgrade version finding it there is not working properly on mac (tahoe 26.5)?

also, I still have to give permission in a popup window to read/write from/to any folder, although I gave permission in the preferences. this is new since the last beta version, maybe also the before last.
must be me doing something wrong I guess, since nobody else is complaining about this in this forum.

thanks,

Wim

Hi Wim, re:

Can please you show the full path of the commands folder you are referring to here?

The instructions changed with new capabilities that were set up in version 4 to solve this exact problem.

If you're still following the instructions from version 2.5 or version 3 then you'll keep running into the same problem.

The updated instructions are on the FAQ here.


I investigated the repeated permissions thing on Tahoe, I'll track that down shortly.

Hi Wim,

for this part:

There is some discussion on this one here:
https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=11975.1

If you download it again it should be fixed.

Michael,

the full path is:
Macintosh HD ›Applications ›Mol v5 beta Apr-27-2026.app ›Contents ›Resources ›commands

edit: I am sorry, I must have missed the instruction to put plugins and scripts in the command folder in the library when 4.0 came out. Got that now! thanks

Hi Wim,

That's not the best place to put plugins: they won't carry over to a new version. A different location exists that survives across versions.

On Mac from a Finder window, go to the menu and pick Go > "Go to folder" and type in:
~/Library/Application Support/Moi/commands
