noticed that out of the box, SU8 doens't have a pull down for plugins. ah.....just saw the extensions thing so checking that box.....ok.

sounds like I'm good but will go ahead and post anyway cause it seems like a couple of logical steps.

So upon installation of SU8, I copied over my library of materials noting that the files in the new version are dated later than in 7. but I have a lot of others and didn't logically overwrite the ones that came with 8.

Then copied plugins into plugin folder for 8 and opened up pref's / extensions and checked/enabled the ruby script thing.

thanks, GREG
