Most of Vectir's functionality is provided with plugins. A plugin can be thought of as a software module that "plugins in" to
an application to provide additional functionality. Vectir's plugins are all provided with DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files.
Vectir plugins are grouped into three different classifications:
- Application plugins - Plugins that control another software application such as Winamp.
- System plugins - Plugins that control a certain aspect of your operatins system, such as shutting down windows.
- Hardware plugins - Plugins that control a hardware device such as the USB-UIRT or Tira.
You will notice that each plugin classification relates to the items categories available on the setup panel.
- Download your new plugin
- Close Vectir
- Navigate to the Vectir install directory ("Program Files > Vectir" by default) and open the "Plugins" folder.
- Copy your new plugin into the appropriate folder for the type of plugin you downloaded. Replace any older versions
if they exist.
- Re-start Vectir and your new plugin should be ready to use. A new icon should have been added to the appropriate node
of the setup tree for your plugin. Double click on the icon to open your plugins setup dialog.
Note: If you have just downloaded a hardware plugin, please make sure that you have installed any required drivers for
your hardware device before attempting to use it with Vectir.
