Issue installing plug-in in Mavericks

[infoweb]

Hi there,

 

I have used the filemaker example script to install / update plugins for users.

 

On windows the script works perfectly, but on Mac it fails with error 1551.

 

I decided to try and install the plugin manually following the details for plugin locations found here:

 

http://www.filemaker.com/help/13/fmp/en/html/create_db.8.55.html#1052437

 

we are using filemaker pro advanced v13, so according to FM documentation, the path for installing plugins on a MAC should be :

 

Macintosh HD/Users/user_name/Library/Application Support/FileMaker/FileMaker Pro Advanced/13.0/Extensions

 

The problem is, that path does not exist on any of our Mavericks installs (I checked to different machines, both running Mavericks)

 

I have no "Library" under "user_name"

 

The only Library I have is under Macintosh HD/

 

So Can find this path:

 

Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/

 

But then there is no "FileMaker" Folder.

 

Can anyone tell me what the correct path is for installing plugins on Mavericks?

The ~/Library directory is hidden by default in Mavericks (as it was in Lion and ML, actually).

 

See this blog for instructions for making it visible.
