Managing Python plugins¶
How to install a Python plugin¶
Caution
Custom Python plugins are made by users of StellarCanvas and the StellarCanvas team does not guarantee that they work, that they are useful or that they are safe. Note that a Python plugin can do everything that StellarCanvas can do, which means for example access to your files. StellarCanvas team isn’t responsible for any damage you might suffer from the plugin, and you install it on your own risk.
Using Python plugin importer¶
Note
This method doesn’t always import action files (responsible for shortcuts) correctly.
You need to ensure that you have the plugin in a *.zip file. Inside the zip file there should be a file pluginname.desktop and a folder pluginname (instead of pluginname there should be an actual unique name of the plugin).
Go to , find the *.zip file and press OK. Restart StellarCanvas.
Go to , find the plugin and enable it. Restart StellarCanvas.
Now the plugin should be available.
Manually¶
If the plugin is inside a *.zip archive, you need to extract it first.
Go to . Put file pluginname.desktop and folder pluginname (instead of pluginname there should be an actual unique name of the plugin) inside the pykrita folder. Put file pluginname.action into the actions folder. Restart StellarCanvas.
Now the plugin should be available.
How to get to the plugin?¶
