Installing Sandvox Plug-ins and Designs
Sandvox has a flexible plug-in architecture. This means that it is possible to extend Sandvox's capabilities by installing a component created by a third party.
Sandvox allows you to install additional:
You may find additional plug-ins to install via the Web, or via our Discover Plug-ins Window.
To install a new plug-in or design downloaded from the Web:
- Double-click the plug-in or design in the Finder, or select multiple plug-in s and chose File → Open from the Finder.
- Quit and relaunch Sandvox.
Using this method, a plug-in or design is moved to the "Library → Application Support → Sandvox" folder in your Home Directory. (If the source file is on a read-only volume, then it will be copied.)
You can actually place a plug-in or design in any of these folders to install it:
- ~/Library/Application Support/Sandvox - installed for just you
- /Library/Application Support/Sandvox" - installed for all users of the computer
- /Network/Library/Application Support/Sandvox - for use in a special network set-up
Plug-ins installed in a location higher up the list take priority over those lower down. The application package itself is checked last.
To uninstall a plug-in or design:
- Open the "Application Support → Sandvox" folder containing the plug-in or design in the Finder.
- Remove the plug-in file from that folder.
