Re: How to get the path to the 'My Livecode' or the plugins folder?

Not pretty, but if you know you have a particular plugin installed, then you can do put the filename of stack "4wDevo" into tmp and work from there; e.g. I get /Users/alextweedly/Dropbox (Personal)/My Livecode/Plugins/4wDevo.livecode Alex. On 30/03/2021 00:06, matthias rebbe via use-livecode

I will join in to support (as soon as I remember which password gives me access). But I think it would be more useful to have this displayed as a "value" palette - similar to what you get when you double-click a variable - rather than another tabbed pane. Alex. On 20/04/2021 11:46, Andre G
