No "gif.me" file exists, so no plugin available, please help. #9

I don't see a plugin file that says anything like "gif.me". No such item exists in my download.

(Separate complaint for anyone — why are more and more plugins crashing Sketch even when running latest verion?)

Hi @dnicola! Have you downloaded the latest release from https://github.com/kannonboy/sketch-gifme-plugin/releases? After you unzip the downloaded file, you should find a file named 'gifme.sketchplugin'. Double-clicking it will install the plugin for you.

As to more and more plugins crashing—many Sketch plugins use 'internal' bits of Sketch's code in order to tightly integrate with Sketch and provide a nicer UX. These internal bits may move around, change, or be removed in between Sketch versions, causing plugins to break. Sketch are gradually working on exposing more functionality via their API, which is more robust and less likely to change between releases, so hopefully the problem will be improved in the future. For now, we have to rely on plugin maintainers and the community to identify and fix problems as fast as possible when Sketch releases new versions.

If you rely on plugins for your workflow, it may be worth waiting a few days or weeks before upgrading to the latest version of Sketch after each release. You won't be on the cutting edge feature-wise, but you will have given maintainers a chance to upgrade themselves, and fix any issues caused by the new version.

So grateful for your response. Thanks!
