Cannot get Mirror to work in 2017 SU Make
-
I've gotten very good use out of this extension since I began using it years ago. Mirror.rb.
I downloaded and installed SU Make 2106, and have copied the ruby file from where it was in SU Make 2016, then pasted it where I thought it belonged in SU Make 2017.
It worked fine in 2016. Select anything, right click for context, and Mirror Selection was right there under Zoom Selection.
It is not there in 2017. What do I need to do? I have copied and attached images from my file explorer.

The "ifcplugin" isn't the right folder (for both 2016 and 2017). You have to install the rbz (ruby zip) file (and don't need to search for the right folders, which have changed from 2016 to 2017) via the preferences (2016) or the new Extension Manager (2017).

You should never copy RB files from one version into another.
There are supporting files and subfolders, which you have probably missed.
The weird "ifplugins" folder is NOT where ANY Plugins go, either !You have the latest Mirror [v6.0] RBZ downloaded.
RBZ files must be 'installed' !
Use the Extensions [-Manager in v2017] > Install Extension... button and choose that RBZ to install it semi-automatically.
Alternatively IF you have the SketchUcation Toolset you can use its ExtensionStore³ to Auto-Install any chosen PluginStore tool, skipping download step etc...
PS: Mirror works fine in v2017 - although it still needs re-signing to work in all Loading Polices...

PPS:
Here's v7.0 which is now fully compatible with v2017 in all Loading Policies...

Thanks. I had forgotten about needing to do the installation. All is OK now.
