Where does plugin get installed ?
Hello,
one thing i cant figure out. where does the plugin get installed from zip file ? - is it somewhere on filesystem ? (cant find it) - or does it stay in zip and is always decompresed to some temp folder and run from there ? - is it possible to get the path to the folder ? -- i know about get_resource but i dont want to get the byte code to my file. i just want the path to the folder. - what i would actualy like to do is add some .exe app to my plugins folder (like pdf2text) and then run it on my books. regards, Peter |

If the PI is retrieved via the Preferences: Get Plugins, you never see the zip. If you use another source, you use Preferenceslugins: Add plugins(button at the bottom) and indicate the location of the Zip to add. PI's are then properly installed into the Calibre configuration folder and linkages established. Don't just drop a PI there |

If you want to run .exe's on your books, you may want to check out the Open With plugin.
