Wow, not many people even know how to get to where you put those... In Mac speak, that's inside the app, right click >> show package contents. As TIG says it needs to be the HD path, and the best mac advice is... when you go to that folder, drag in into your side bar, so it becomes a drop-box for future 'manual' plugin instals not the new 'auto' ones. The 'gotcha' is, it is a 'drop-only-box', to trash a ruby from there you have to right click >> open enclosing folder >> move to trash. You can rename or shuffle the files/folders around and make new folders/sub-folders, etc... you just can't delete/trash them. john
