I am having trouble locating the plug-in directory in Windows. I have checked the AppLocalDataLocation in Qt standard paths however none of the directories listed there were created during installation. I have tried creating them myself and adding an example plug-in (flattenZ.py) without any luck. Could anyone provide a working plug-in directory for Windows? Thanks!
I am using Avogadro 2 (1.91.0) installed using the Win64 installer on Windows 10.

Plugins are checked in subdirectories of the appLocalDataLocation based on script type. Here’s my example on Mac:
If you put it under workflows does it show up?
(BTW, the name will transition to commands instead of workflows soon - I just haven’t had time to finish the patch.)
I have tried putting it under workflows directory however it still didn’t show up. It looks like there are 5 AppLocalDataLocation directories:
C:/Users/<USER>/AppData/Local/<APPNAME>C:/ProgramData/<APPNAME><APPDIR><APPDIR>/data<APPDIR>/data/<APPNAME>Assuming <APPNAME> is Avogadro2 I placed the scripts as follow:
C:\Users\kutay\AppData\Local\Avogadro2\workflowsC:\ProgramData\Avogadro2\workflowsNeither of those directories existed so maybe I am getting the <APPNAME> wrong?
APPNAME is Avogadro - but you can check on Windows fairly easily. If you start up Avogadro2 on a console, it will spit out a list of the directories it’s checking.
I switched the Avogadro2 to Avogadro but I still cannot see the plug-in. I previously tried running the executable from the console hoping it would print the directories it’s searching (that’s how I found them in Linux) however it doesn’t print anything.
Yes, it seems like you were using a really old version.
