V4MD and D11.5 - Can't find XTRA?

[Irv Kalb]

Hi Sean,

Nope I didn't copy the XTRA from the Mac.  I copied it from
C:Program Files/Paradigma Software/V4MD_3

And that was the problem.

I found the one in My Documents and copied that into the XTRAs folder 
- and now it works fine.

Thanks very much for your help Sean!  I'll send you a case of E-Beers 
(as soon as I can figure out how to do that).

Note to the Valentina developers, if you're going to deposit files 
like this inside "My Documents" - it would be kind of nice if your 
installer told you where it put them!  Now that Sean told me where to 
find it, I remember going through the exact same puzzlement when I 
installed it on my Mac.  Please, please, please modify your 
installers to tell the user where the XTRA file can be found.  At 
least it would be helpful if you would update your Wiki, which says 
is to copy the XTRA to the Xtras folder inside Director, but it does 
not tell you where to find it.

Thanks Sean,

Irv
