Plugins directory in user home folder

[vlad1777d]

Hello.
I tried to place 9_exportmhx2 plugin in:
/home/username/makehuman/plugins and
/home/username/makehuman/v1/plugins folders,
but it doesn't work.

As I understood, the only folder for this is "/usr/share/makehuman/plugins"

Version of Makehuman: i 1.1.0~git20160515-1 unstable 500
Blender: 2.77a
OS: Debian x64 unstable
(I tried to install the mhx2 export plugin)

My propositions:
1. I think, that it'll be great if there will be an ability to place plugins somewhere in the home forder.
2. Also it'll be great if in the program in submenu "plugins" there would be written: where can be the plugins located (not to search this in internet).
3. Also It'll be great to specify plugins folder in the wiki (there was only written about "plugins folder", but there was not specified, where it is.
4. And also it'll be good to update link to the mhx2 plugin on Bitbucket.
Now it points here: https://bitbucket.org/ThomasMakeHuman/m ... n-exchange
Tomas's new page is here: https://bitbucket.org/Diffeomorphic/mhx ... n-exchange
5. Also it would be great to add link to mhx2 plugin to the makehuman.org site into download section, because it's difficult to search it (I remember, that such plugin was, but didn't remember where).

Thank you.

Ok, noted. I've created a feature request at http://bugtracker.makehumancommunity.org/issues/1047

At some point I'm planning to add MHX2 to PPA, but I agree that it doesn't really make sense to have to manually put third part plugins in the system installation location.

I think Thomas changed location for MHX2 yesterday or the day before that. As I'm not sure what he's up to, I've been waiting for things to settle before changing the links.

Thank you.
How quickly you had answered =)

Yes, it's a great idea to place mhx2 in the ppa. It's annoying to install it everytime manually.
And what about blender's plugins (import, makewalk, maketarget)? Maybe to place them in ppa too?

It's possible, but not all that easy. That'd require them to depend on blender, and blender versions look rather different across different deb-based flavors and releases.

I usually get the latest blender version as a tarbal from blender.org and extract it to /opt along with goggle chrome you do have to add your own launcher and menu entry but you do get the latest version of blender as the various Debian version can be two to version behind

Enjoy the Choice
