hi!
I installed a few plugins from “plugin manager” like broad nibber, noodler, offset preview etc…
but none of them are showing up! do you any idea what is the problem?
thank you for your help!

Do you see anything in the macro window?

javadsadeghi · February 3, 2020, 6:28pm

No, its empty!
# type your Python code here and press cmd+Return to run.

can anyone help me please?

Can you post a screenshot of the view and filter menu?
And if the Preferences > User Settings?

The Screenshot suggests that you have multiple instances of the same plug-in installed. Consider emptying your Plugins folder and reinstalling the plugins through Window > Plugin Manager. after a restart they will show up in the respective menus (usually Filter and View).

I did empty my “plugins” folder. and reinstalled “broad nibber” for test.
but still not showing up!

mekkablue · February 4, 2020, 3:56pm

Did you restart the app?

javadsadeghi · February 4, 2020, 4:10pm

Yes.

GeorgSeifert · February 4, 2020, 4:20pm

And still nothing in the lower part of the macro window?

javadsadeghi · February 4, 2020, 4:32pm

No! empty!

javadsadeghi · February 4, 2020, 4:58pm

I just installed “extrude tool” from plugin manager, and its odd that it showed up. but others like broad nibber did not!

Can you open Console.app, search for „Glyphs“ with its search field, then restart Glyphs.app and watch for related error messages in Console.app?

I assume it has something to do with read/write privileges.

Also make sure you use the latest beta please. Go to Glyphs > Preferences > Updates, activate both checkboxes and press the Update button.

yes, you are right! there is following errors:

Do you have some kind of tool that monitors your internet connections? Like a system optimiser, a Mac cleaner, or anti-virus tool? Please uninstall it and restart your Mac. These tools are no good and cause more damage than good.
Please redownload Glyphs.app from glyphsapp.com/buy, delete the old app, and replace it with the new download in the Applications folder
Update it to the latest beta as described above.

javadsadeghi · February 4, 2020, 6:39pm

no i don’t have any tool like that!
I re downloaded the app didn’t work, I updated it to the last cutting edge version also didn’t work.
im not sure if that’s the case, but I’m running Mac OS on a virtual machine here, do you think that’s the problem?

mekkablue · February 4, 2020, 6:56pm

That may be the case.

Or something in the setup or installation of the OS. Sorry, I cannot help you much with an unorthodox macOS setup. Do you have access to a Mac?

javadsadeghi · February 4, 2020, 7:14pm

not now unfortunately!
any other apps and even glyphs is functioning completely fine except some plugins, that’s odd!
that’s alright sir, thank you for your patience.

mekkablue · February 4, 2020, 7:26pm

The problem is probably how the python framework loads. The plug-ins that work are probably the ones written in objc and swift.
