Tools

Tools for the LiveCode Environment
These are scripts that you can use while working or writing programs of your own. Download them and copy them to the plugins folder. When it starts up, LiveCode will look in a particular folder for your custom plugins. Their locations vary by operating system:

        Windows:     My Documents/My LiveCode/Plugins
        OS X:           ~/Documents/My LiveCode/Plugins
        Linux:          ~/my_livecode/Plugins/

If you do not have a folder called "My LiveCode" , create it at the correct location for your OS (Linux users should name it "my_livecode" instead.) Inside that folder, create a second folder named "Plugins"
