I also tried clicking on the exec and setting security to open. Is there some separate place to control security for application plugins??

You don't open, unzip or execute a plugin's zipfile. You add it to Sigil as is. Using Sigil's Manage Plugins->Add Plugin to select the zipfile. After that, Flightcrew will be available under the Plugins->Validation menu.

NOTE: you must not rename a plugin's zipfile. The naming of a Sigil plugin is crucial.

Thank-you for the swift reply. The first thing I tried was what you suggested - that seemed natural enough. But I cannot select the plugin because it remains greyed out in the file list.

Sounds to me like something is automatically unzipping the plugin after you download it. The file dialog for Add Plugin will only allow you to select *.zip files. If there's nothing available for you to select, then you don't have a zip file.

More than likely, you need to uncheck the option in Safari that is set to "Open 'safe' files after downloading.

Thanks I'll try those options
