Plug-in Manager - where is it?

• Apr 11, 2015 - 10:38

Hi,

Apologies for asking what may be an obvious question, but can anyone tell me where I can find the 'Plug-in Manager', descibed (and shown) in the on-line help?

I can't see it under the plug-in menu (which shows the 'installed by default' plug-ins, and it's not in the other place I'd expect to find it - Preferences.

I have another proble too, which is probably more to do with Windows 8 than MuseScore, but someone might know the answer:

I've downloaded the Jojo-Schmitz-batch-export plugin, planning to use it to convert a folder of tunes in xml to mscz. I unzip it, giving me a translation folder, batch_convert.qml, batch_export.js, batch_export.ui and Readme.md. I copy these into the MuseScore 2 / plugins folder in Programs(x64) - which involves providing Administrator password - but when it's done and I look in the plugins folder they're not there. Where have I screwed up?

Cheers

Hi,

A brief update - and a bit of a red face - I didn't realise that I had both MuseSCore 1.3 AND MuseScore 2 on my PC, and had been opening 1.3 rather than 2. So the 'where is Plugin Manager' question is now sorted.

But I still have a problem trying to move the post-zipping batch-convert files and folders from my download folder into MuseScore plugin folder in the Windows/Program Files(x86) folder...... the system asks for my Admin passowrd, seems to be doing a move/copy, but when I look in the plugin folder none of the files and folders are there.

Anyone any ideas please?

Cheers

Hi,

progress of sorts - my techie guru friend suggested that I downloaded and installed the batch convert plugin entirely from Administrator mode. I've done that, and it works. So the plugin is visible in the Plugin Manager.

Next question - how do I run the plugin? If I click the plugin tab in MuseScore 2 I see two lines - 'Plugin Manager' and 'Creat Plugin'. How do I actually run the batch plugin - or any of the other plugins I can see when I click on 'Plug Manager'?
