Hi All,
I've just tried to download Cycrow's plug-in manager, but once it has finished downloading, clicking on the shortcut causes explorer to try and open from a completely different filepath.
Whenever i manually navigate to the Plug-in manager folder, all it contains is empty folders, regardless of what package options i choose to install, including "full"install. Never seen this before, it's worked on all my other PCs/laptops.
Uninstalling/reinstall doesn't help.
Any ideas?

problem with the mod manager.
hay I have a problem with the mac mod manager.
when I open the mod manager it says
ERROR! cannot write to Info.plist, there are permission problems, or you are on a read-only volume. This cannot run from within a read-only dmg file
does anyone have any idea how to fix this

The biggest problem is, there is no "data" file in the content folder. Because there is no alternative selection about where to place these files (usually the app file stays in the application folder--it doesn't work there) but I get the impression from the post to place every thing in the "data" folder. Which doesn't make sense. I have TWO folders for scripts and TWO t folders, which look like a scripts folder of some kind. Secondly, the files downloaded are .exe files. These files are normally run on a PC and not a Mac. Without a Wineskin app of some kind to open them, they are basically useless. I like that this forum exists, but unless this thread is to see how foolish we are, I can't see that it is a big waste of time--but I trust that isn't the purpose, so can somebody please fill in what I missed, in detail. Thank you. PS. the vanilla game is great. I did figure out to script money, so no biggy if this isn't answered, but I was hoping to download Trek ships. Thanks. ALSO, my game was downloaded from the APP Store and is not from Steam.

For those of you having difficulties finding that unwonted data file in Mac's High Sierra, it is here on my Mac: SDD001 (my main drive) users/account1 (my user account name) /Library/Containers/com.vpltd.X3AP-MAS/Data. Took me an hour to locate it. It cannot be found by just looking in the 'Library'. It might be different on your machine, so take a few deep breath, get yourself a cup of mocha, and go through every file if you can't find it. As an alternative, you might try searching for X3AP-MAS. For some reason just plain X3 didn't work for me. Yes, it is com.vlptd.X3AP-MAS. ALSO--many save files are found in the the content file (right click on the app and view contents) but X3 saves are not kept there, so don't bother. Good luck.

I launch the plug in manager and I get:
"ERROR! cannot write to Info.plist, there are permission problems, or you are on a read-only volume.
This cannot run from within a read-only dmg file."
I'm using the STEAM version of the game, where there is NO data folder in the latest version, making the information on the front page not relevant.
Can anyone help me get this plug in manager working?
