Sketch Versions

[ramijames]

I've compiled the app and it seems to successfully download and install plugins.

I am not able to see them or access them via Sketch (2.4.3).

Is this only working for Sketch 3?

[shahruz]

I've only tested on Sketch 3 and Sketch 3 Beta so far. Adding in support for Sketch 2 should be possible, but this ties into the issues being discussed in #15, where some plugins may only have specific capabilities.

I'll add in support for Sketch 2 later today (it should be trivial), and I think we can fix the catalog issue afterwards. I don't think there are too many plugins which will cause trouble one way or another.

[ramijames]

Ya, I guess that means that plugin authors need to let the toolbox know which version of sketch they target. Hmm.

[shahruz]

@ramijames Yep. That's part of the plans. I just pushed up a fix. The Toolbox will detect which version(s) of Sketch you have installed (Sketch 3, Sketch 3 Beta, Sketch 2) and will install to all you have. Can you test to see if it's working for you?

[ramijames]

I've downloaded and compiled again. Doesn't seem to indicate anywhere whether it has detected the version or not. I've tried installing a bunch of plugins but they still don't show up in Sketch 2.

"Copy Fill Color" indicates its a Sketch 2 plugin, but it isn't showing up anywhere, even when I search for it in spotlight.

I may be doing something incorrectly though.

Please note that you're missing ~/Library/Application Support/sketch/Plugins/, which is the Plugin path for non-sandboxed versions of Sketch 2 (either the betas, or versions purchased from our own store)

[ramijames]

Yes, I'm running a sandboxed version of Sketch 2 (app store).

[ramijames]

Yup, the plugins directory in ~/Library/Application Support/sketch/plugins/ is empty for me.

[shahruz]

Ah interesting. I'll add that path (and a way to manage them better). So the list of available paths will be:

Sketch 3 App Store: ~/Library/Containers/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/Data/Library/Application Support/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/Plugins/ Sketch 3 Beta: ~/Library/Application Support/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/Plugins/

Sketch 2 App Store: ~/Library/Containers/com.bohemiancoding.sketch/Data/Library/Application Support/sketch/Plugins/ Sketch 2: ~/Library/Application Support/sketch/Plugins/

Does this sound right, @bomberstudios ?

[ramijames]

Yes, that seems to be the correct path for me.

[bomberstudios]

@shahruz that sounds about right, yes : )

[shahruz]

Thanks!

Ok, just pushed up what I believe to be a fix. @ramijames you may need to uninstall / reinstall the plugin(s) you're testing.

[ramijames]

Confirmed fixed for me.

[shahruz]

Rad. Closing out the issue. Thanks for your help!
