Hi all
I have my main Servoy directory on my G5 and a copy on my Powerbook G4. I have changed the preferences on the G4 to point at the G5 for all databases, this works perfectly and means I can work on the same solutions whichever machine I am on.
When I work on the Powerbook though, I have no plugins available from the plugins menu in the method editor. Probably something simple. Any ideas
Thanks

Hi Bevil,
Something simple indeed 
Servoy plugins and beans are not stored in the repository but on harddisk with the Servoy installation.
You can connect your Developer to another repository than your local one but it still only sees the files (beans/plugins) that are on your harddrive.
So easy solution is to copy all the beans/plugins that you have on your G5 to your G4 Powerbook.
Hi Robert
Thanks… I did know that though .. Trouble is that the copy on my g4 powerbook is a direct copy of the same directory, it contains all of the same subdirectories - including plugins, drivers, beans etc. The only thing that is different between the servoy developer directory on my G5 and my servoy developer directory on my G4 is that the servoy.properties file on the G4 refers to the ip address of the G5 rather than localhost for all databases including repository (besides for MySQL which is inconsequential)… That is the only difference. I would have thought that having a local copy of the plugins folder would give me access to the plugins but this seems not to be the case if the databases are remote… What I get is a plugins icon, but there is no triangle to drop down and show all the available plugins. Is this a bug??
Can you check what is in the .log.txt file in the Servoy folder?
Since this file starts with a dot it is invisible in the Finder so you need to use the commandline.
Or else use the Servoy-admin pages to view this log (http://localhost:8080/servoy-admin)
Hope this helps.
