aMSN, plugins and skins.

When you discharge aMSN you can see that it comes accompanied from a few bundles that we do not know very well how to install. I am referring to the plugins and the skins (skins) designed to personalize our installation. But: how do we install these additional bundles?

Since you can verify the installation of this plugins it is not as Windows would be in a system, in this one we would go to the folder of the program in program Files, would look inside for the folder Plugins and there we would copy them: truth?. And why is not it equal of easy in Mac?

Since simple, simply because we are not in Windows and here the things are thought otherwise. It is not that here it is more or less difficult or intuitive, simply we have been very much years working otherwise and now it is necessary to change a little the mentality.

In MacOS X every application contains inside everything what he could need, that is to say, if an application uses plugins inside itself it will have a folder plugins, equal with skins or with extra any other. To gain access to all this internal structure simply we must place ourselves in the folder Applications and with the secondary button on that let's want to examine we choose “to Show the content of the bundle”. Inside this content we will have almost always the same structure: MacOS, which contains the feasible as such one and Resources, where there are the folders for that we are looking. In the particular case of aMSN we must enter Resources/Scripts and there we will find skins and plugins, we copy here what us dá the installation file and ready.

It looks like an a little complicated form, but bearing in mind that with all the applications it is done of the same way learned with a solved with all.

A greeting and I hope that it should have served to you. We meet in the next post.
