Dream Clean-Up plugin installation

[Il-Cartoonatico]

Hi, I bought Dream Clean-Up plugin for Animate today. I'd like to point out that Animate and Creative Cloud App work on the lastest version.

So, I've spent the last 3 hours and more trying to install this plugin. In Adobe CCA plugin section Dream Clean-Up appears as "installed", however I don't find it in Animate. I also tried a manually installation with zxp installer, but nothing.

The plugin author's guide says: "If you are using Animate CS6 or higher: Open the .zxp file with WinZip, WinRar or any other archive opening programs...". I tried with both programs to open it, but this format seems unopenable. So any solution?

contact the author.

In Adobe Exchange I didn't find any help-button on author profile and none contact on his website, but I found him on instagram. I can only cross my fingers and wait for.

good luck!

(and keep us updated.)

If you can't reach the author or resolve the issue in another way, try the following:
change the extension of the ZXP file to .ZIP, then extract it using an archiving program like WinRAR or WinZip.
In the unpacked folder, there should be some kind of manifest in XML format, describing which file should be copied to which directory. I assume that the folders should be "Commands" and "Tools" in the configuration folder of Animate.

I already tried that one, but for some reason I got a corrupted archive everytime :l

Anyway the author should send me the zip archive in a few of minutes.

or use a different browser to download...

I solved it by contacting the author. He is very kind.

[kglad]

great.

Download the ZIP again.

When you unzip, you should find two folders inside:

Commands contains 3 JSFL files:

Tools contains one JSFL and the icon:

I couldn't access to archive thereby I couldn't unzip it.

Hi there! We already spoke about this but I thought I would post here in case any others have a similar problem. I have just submitted an update to Adobe Exchange with an MXI manifest that ought to allow Exchange to place the files in the correct place and also stop the ZXP from getting corrupted. I'm not 100% sure what the problem was (but it was becoming a common one). Hopefully the update will get approved in the coming days and this issue will be ancient history. Thank you for reporting it!

thanks @Levizilla

Alright y'all! Exchange has now approved the version with an updated manifest. This issue should be resolved forever.

Hi,

I'm currently having these issues in 2024. I've tried every solution I could find with no luck, could I get some help with this?

[kglad]

did tou contact the author?

[River Lai]

I'm not sure how. There aren't any current ways of contacting them, this was the only place I could find.

[kglad]

did you try instagram?

[River Lai]

Their messages are closed, I can't seem to DM I think?

[River Lai]

Nevermind, he got back to me!

[kglad]

is your problem resolved?
