Dear Mr. Shafie,
Thanks for your reply and suggestion. It seems that what you suggest (download the
add-ons manually, unzip them in "shared" XXE_install_dir/addon is very similar
to what we did. So we jumped directly to your point 3. :-).
And indeed, just removing the cache fixes the issue we had.
Our guess -- is this right ? -- is that due to the cache data, the addon was
still expected to be found in the user's addon directory... which wasn't the
case anymore. So the addon was installed and not installed, so to speak...
No, not really.
No matter where -- XXE_install_dir/addon/ or
XXE_user_preferences_dir/addon/ -- you unzip the ".zip" containing an
add-on, if you don't clear the quick start cache after doing that (the
simplest is to delete XXE_user_preferences_dir/cache/), XXE will simply
not "see" what you have done and thus completely ignore the newly
unzipped add-on.
All this is explained here:
"How to “manually” install, uninstall or upgrade an add-on",
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/manual_install_addons.html
--> Note that if you don't want to have quick start cache issue, it's
also possible to completely turn it off: Options|Preferences,
Advanced|Cached data, uncheck the "Quick Start cache" checkbox. See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/advancedOptions.html
That works now as expected, many thanks for your help.
Best,
Philippe.
