When you add the directory, you should select the game exe and it will work out the correct directory from that

"To add a new game directory, click the Add New Directory button them find and select the game executable file. (ie X3FL.exe)." That will be the bit I didn't read, I thought we had to select a Directory.
Will try that later thank you.

But fyi - I did not go to the website, I just followed the instructions in the first post of this topic which reads ..

"Once installed, you need to run the program once to do its initial setup. This is done automatically when running for the first time. It will attempt to find your installed games and add the directories.

If you doesn't find them, you will need to add them manually. Goto the settings menu and select "Add Directory", then browse to your game directory."

I need to edit that as the software has changed.
When you first run, it'll open the display without any game directories, then you need to add one via directory control instead. (Add Directory has been removed)

Another note : When you un-install this (via the old Control Panel you can type in Windows start, then look for Programs and Features), the un-installer does not get rid of any associated registry entries.
So for a case like mine, where I had made mistakes on the first installation, the directories already assigned still show up on the next installation.
Eventually sorted it by using regedit to get rid of all previous entries, then re-installed again.

Unrelated question: Does the Plugin Manager handle 7zip (*.7z) files?
Not a problem I can convert them to .zip files if not.

For anyone else reading and wondering what the answer to this question was ..
No, the Plugin Manager does not recognise *.7z archives, they need to be converted to normal .zip files.

Cycrow - I found an oddity ..

When installing from .zip archives, the files all install ok and as expected, but within the Plugin Managers UI they are listed as .spk files instead of .zip files :

That's probably just a display issue. I will take a look

And here's the contents of one of the Lucike .zips ..

I use 7zip File Manager to generally handle archives, but the archives were created in this case with Windows 11 zip compression.

Just to eliminate the possibility that it could be me remaking the zips, downloaded Lucikes originals and just installed them without meddling .. Same issue, they are listed as .spk and not .zip
