Set plugin folders

Tell Nearfield where your plugins are installed. It reads the name, the maker and the version of each plugin. It does not run any plugin.

Steps

  1. Open the Plugins tab.
  2. Press “Set plugin folders”. It is at the foot of the tab, or beside the line that says Nearfield has not looked yet.
  3. Nearfield checks the usual install folders. You can add more.
