Hi Nancy --

I don't have a clear visualization of just what you've got.

If you have a .pr file, then just put it in the Squeaklets folder where your plugin image resides and you can get it with "Find" on the Navigator bar.

When I downloaded Diego's project in IE, it automatically decompressed and made .pr files. You can just use these directly.

But remember that the plugin version has resrictions on it for what it can see in the larger file system. This is why you should put these external .prs in the local Squeaklets folder as mentioned above.

Diego's instructions don't have anything directly to do with the plugin version.

Cheers,

Alan

I have a .pr file and have gotten into World and the "open..." screen, and can select the file in the "file list," but am now stuck.

The instructions I'm following say "click over the [file]name to select it and right click over it to show a menu."

This worked in the full version, but not plugin. I assume it's a setting somewhere. How do I do a "decompress to file" and "load as project" from the plugin?

The plugin is a bit paranoid about outside content, for security reasons.

Assuming you've already decompressed it, you can stick it in your "untrusted" plugin directory (on my Linux system, that's "~/.netscape/squeak/image/untrusted").

Once you've done that (and assuming you're in a browser already), you can open the Navigator flap, and hold the button marked "FIND" down until a menu comes up. Now choose "find a project (more places)" and you should see the "untrusted" directory on the list. Choose the .pr file and it should load.

However... this particular project uses at least one class that isn't in the Plugin image (FaceMorph).
