One possibility is that you are looking at the system level Library folder rather than the one beneath your home folder.

("~" is interpreted by OS X as a reference to your home folder")

In the finder choose Go>Go_to_Folder, and paste in the full string (including ~):

~/Library/Application Support/OmniOutliner 3/Plug-Ins

This should take you to the correct path.

Should be "Plug-Ins" to work properly...

I also had to set the bundle bit on the plug-in after I expanded it, as it expanded to a folder. This may or may not be necessary for it to work.

Yes, bonzer!
It works graus if the folder is named Plug-Ins
Thanks a lot mate.

Thanks - I've added the missing "s" to the original post.

Hi there,

How do I set the “bundle bit” for the folder? With just the folder put into the Plug-Ins subfolder, OO3 doesn’t show MultiMarkdown in the export options for me.

Cheers,

Edith says: Seems as if the plug-in only works with OO 3 Professional. Bummer. :( Time for an upgrade, perhaps?

When I downloaded it and unzipped it the resultant folder's name was actually:

"fletcher-Markdown.ooxsl-820ace92d65af96573e97250331c5c4d36aece39"

which I just moved as is to the folder indicated. I couldn't get it to work until I renamed the folder to just "fletcher-Markdown.ooxsl" - at which point it began to appear as a single file in the finder. After a restart of Omni Outliner, I began to see the markdown options appear in the export menu as a save option.

Hope that helps.

I'd really like to try the Markdown export, but when I try this, it doesn't work:

1. It does not appear as a single file (package) in Finder
2. In OmniOutliner 3.9.1, I do not have an Export menu. Just to be clear, in the Main Menu
I have File > Export.
3. When I click this item it presents a dialog and in that dialog is a popup menu labelled "File Format".
4. When I click that popup menu, I get 11 items, the same as I had before relaunch
OmniOutliner. None of them indicate "fletcher" or "Markdown"

Regarding 1., I believe it does not appear as a package because it does not have a "Contents/PkgInfo" file. This is typically an 8-byte file which tells Finder "This is a package". Maybe that's the problem?

Thanks to anyone that can help!

That looks identical to my setup. Did you restart OmniOutliner after installing the plug-in? It doesn't seem to matter that it doesn't show as a package file.

[jerrykrinock]

Yes, I've relaunched OmniOutliner several times. I can see it works for you. But it does not for me. I see that you have HTML (Dynamic), which means you probably have OmniOutliner Pro. I don't have Pro. Do you need Pro to use 3rd-party plugins?

+1 waiting on an answer to the how-do-I-make-this-work question.
