Possible workaround if using the Execute Commands plugin's New Plugin button causes a crash
Posted by Bob Zawalich - 12 Apr 06:03PM (edited 01 May 08:18PM)
(Edit): The cause of the bug was found, and fixed. Please update the plugin Execute Commands, and also cmdutils and Run Command Macro, if you use them.


I have never had a problem with doing it in Windows 10, but there seem to be more issues on Macs. New Plugin will have to create a new subfolder, if it does not already exist, in your user plugins folder and write to that folder. There may be a permissions issue on the folder.

You could try going to File>Plug-Ins>Edit Plugins and click on New. Give the plugin any name (I like Delete_Me for something like this), and for the category, say Execute_Commands.

Assuming that succeeds, look for Delete_Me in the list of plugins and choose Edit. If the plugin comes up in the editor, that means you have created the Execute_Commands folder if it was not already there and have written to it. Which is good. You can then delete the Delete_Me plugin, because we have achieved the first goal of creating the Execute_Commands subfolder.

If that fails, then the problem is not the Execute_Commands plugin’s.

Now try creating a plugin with New Plugin again.

If it succeeds but New Plugin is still failing, I don’t really have a good answer for you. New Plugin just writes a text file to that folder and usually it works as long as one is able to write into that folder.
