Then you need to enable your plugin inside qgis: plugins menu, manage plugin, then check the box associated with your plugin, close dialog and your plugin should be listed in the plugins menu. </div><div><br></div><div>HTH,</div><div>Benoit<br><br><div><br></div>Sent from my iPod</div><div><br>On 27 Dec 2010, at 12:09, jude mwenda <<a href="mailto:judemwenda@gmail.com">judemwenda@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi,<br>I am new to developing Quantum GIS plugins. So sorry if its very basic. I have created a simple plugin from the tools generated on line using this <a href="http://pyqgis.org/builder/plugin_builder.py"><a href="http://pyqgis.org/builder/plugin_builder.py">http://pyqgis.org/builder/plugin_builder.py</a></a>. On downloading the zip file and extracting it, I notice that from the finder on Mac OS X , i cannot find the .qgis folder into where i am to copy the unzipped plugin. But on accessing the terminal, and navigating to the .qgis/python/plugins folder, i am able to copy it there,through the terminal that is. Despite copying it there, it still does not appear under the plugins manager. Please help. One is it possible to paste the plugin without using the terminal? and if so what should i do to have the plugin appear on the plugin manager? Please help<br clear="all">
