Sorry if this has been dealt with, but...
Unlike FH5 Beta, there seems to be no Plugins folder under the main Family Historian installation folder.
When I write a test plugin using the built in plugin editor, I can see no xxx.fh_lua file anywhere. Ok, I can force its appearance by exporting it.
Does it exist? If so, where is it?
The Windows file search facility is so broken that it doesn't find files I can see in Windows Explorer; so not much help!
TIA
Bob

Bob the plugins folder is in the normal FH data settings folder. See
http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id ... e_settings

Or write your self a plugin with

Code: Select all

fhMessageBox(fhGetContextInfo('CI_APP_DATA_FOLDER'))
and it will tell you the folder to look in.
