Anyone recommend any? I have a mac which won't let me do the IKEA one. Have googled and a few have come up but no idea which are user and thicko friendly. We aren't exacting our kitchen design, more coming up with general ideas for things so it doesn't matter if the cabinet size isn't absolutely exactly the same as the kitchen we go for in the end.

The only one I could get to work reasonably reliably was the Ikea one. I run it on my Mac but it's better with Firefox than Safari.

Or if you're in Safari, make sure you've fully Quit it and opened again after installing the plugin.

fossil I'm not computer literate enough to change from safari. How very annoying if it's the only decent one. I have tried various restarting/taking down other programs and I still can't get it to work Sad

in what way doesn't it work? Does it keep going to the Install viewer page rather than the actual planner even when you think you've installed the 2020viewer thing? (not at home on mac, sorry, but its something like that)

I just get up a plug in installer page with a folder on one side and like a lego brick on the other. Can't seem to get or do anything else

I've got a mac and used the ikea one.

I think you need to drag the folder into the brick (or the other way round - you need to drag the icon for the bit of kit you want to install into your applications folder - and this kicks off the installation). It should work then.

I've done that twoterrors - I've moved the lego thingy into the folder and then restarted it (like the ikea website says) but it still comes back with the same lego thing once I've restarted - can't work out what I've done wrong Hmm

This puzzled me for ages

you just drag the jigsaw piece into the plugins folder that is right next to it on the same window, not any other folder.

Then fully quit Safari with cmd-Q don't just close the window. Then restart.

Under Help-installed plugins do you see the software?

reastie · 13/09/2012 19:39

OK, tried that - it worked - hurray!

Happy planning!
