Adding packages¶

A .ppf (Pluxel Package File) is a file exported as a package from Pluxel. It's a zip under the hood, bundling scripts or plugins together with manifest information (name, author, version, type, and so on).

How to add¶

• Drag & drop — Drop a .ppf file onto the window
• From the menu — Top menu File → Add package (.ppf)

Before importing, a preview shows the packages, bundles and included files. Choose Import to confirm or cancel to leave the library unchanged.

Confirmation registers the items and their manifest information (banner, author, version, type and so on). Normal distribution packages do not contain personal tags. A full-library backup restores tags as well. If a duplicate exists, choose whether to skip it or replace the existing item as an update. Importing does not execute scripts or installers.

Packages and backups¶

• Individual packages can be shared and distributed as .ppf.
• To export your entire library at once, see Creating packages.
