Welcome

It is very likely that this forum will be discontinued in favor of the current alternate forums. Since this is a free forum, I do not control much about it and believe it or not, there are more helpful people in the alternative forums. By switching, there will be only one forum and a more active user base that actually helps me answer questions. It is preferred that new topics are started there instead of here.

First thing is to notice the Plugins tab inside of ACT. Inside of that tab will be a panel showing known plugins(if any), the plugin's info(if selected) and a place at the top to add more plugins.

The following is a generic process to install a plugin for ACT.

Download the plugin
- The plugin will have a .dll, .cs or .vb extension
- Place the plugin in a folder where you can find it later
  - This can be a desktop folder, a My Documents folder, the ACT folder or a subfolder of ACT you create yourself
  - Do not put plugins in ACT's Temp or html folder
Add the plugin to ACT's known plugin listing
1. Press the Browse... button at the top of the Plugins tab
2. Find the plugin file where you downloaded it and click the Open button in the dialog
3. Finally press the Add Plugin button now that the file path is displayed
Enable the plugin
- Find the added plugin at the top of the listing and click the Enabled checkbox
- Clicking anywhere on the panel will show the plugin's info before or after the plugin is enabled
- Once the plugin is enabled, a new tab will appear next to Plugin Listing for that plugin
  - Each plugin can make use of this new tab any way it wishes to. Commonly you will find plugin options
