Automated plugin registration for macOS installer

Simon_Weinberger — Wed, 11 Jan 2023 15:51:32 GMT

Hello,

we'd like to provide an installer for macOS that not only copies necessary files but also registers itself automatically, so that the user doesn't need to manually add the plugin using the Add-On Manager dialog. Our Windows installer writes directly to the registry (HKCU\SOFTWARE\Graphisoft\Archicad\Archicad <some version>\Add-On Manager) to register our plugin. What is the suggested way of doing something similar on macOS?

Thanks

Simon

Hello Simon,

On macOS, you can find similar information in the

~/Library/Preferences/com.Graphisoft.AC 26.0.0 INT v1.plist

file, where ~ indicates the user's home folder, 26 is the version of AC, and INT is the 3-letter language code.

Best, Akos
