General Questions About Ruby
-
I wanted to know if I open up a compressed folder and I copy the .rb files to my plugins folder in SU 7Pro, then what do I do with the other files? I've seen tutorial pdfs, docs, GIFFs, JPEGs, etc.
Do the other file types also go into the SU plugins Folder?
I appreciate a response from anyone who knows and thank you in advance if I am not able to get back to you!

Generally inside of .zip files that have multiple files inside, there is a directory structure. That directory structure, and the files inside must be maintained and copied into the plugins folder. Maybe scripts will have a single .rb file that will sit inside the main plugins folder, and then a folder, full of other scripts, images, and tutorial files. That same directory structure must exist inside the plugins folder for the plugin to work correctly.
If you have a decent zip program, it will show you the folder structure inside the zip file. Some bad zip programs do not show this structure, and therefore they make it nearly impossible to extract the files correctly.
This comes up fairly often. Maybe its time for a video tutorial

Thank you very much! I think that just solved a question I had about why some of my scripts dont have pictures for their toolbars. I'm getting alot of load errors as well. I think I will have to delete those scripts and make sure I copy them into the plugins folder in the correct directory order.
I will watch some tutorials too. Thanks
