Yes.

There's no problem with it putting the plugin in the home folder.  But, the
installer didn't tell me that this was where it had been put.  All that's
needed is a README.  I had assumed it would be in the same place as before.

I do have scripts to copy files into the app bundle, and I'm very
comfortable doing this.  But then, I know Valentina pretty well, from the
beta lists.  If I was new to V4RB_2, I wouldn't even know that anything had
been installed in /usr/local/lib/, nor would I know that I needed to copy it
into my app bundle.

I don't understand how to do this.  Maybe I missed the instructions on the
mailing list.  I haven't tried copying a built application to another
computer with the vcomponents inside the app bundle, so maybe this is why I
didn't realise I had to run a script.

Do you mean the "chg_vcomponents_to_exec.sh" script?  How do I use it?  I
have seen the "USAGE:" section of the script, but I still don't understand
what I need to do.  Sorry!  Once I understand this, I can test it more.

Sorry, I should have answered this before!  I have tried some of the example
projects, and it seems to work fine with vcomponents in /usr/local/lib/.
Good work!

I am still waiting for a Universal Einhugur DataGrid before I can test my
main application, so I can't say for sure that everything works for me.  I
will test it as soon as the DataGrid is available.

Dave.
