Hi
I am fairly new to all this so I’m probably missing something basic. I have installed the rutt etra plugin, really keen to try it out. However when I open the intro and other .qtz files, I get an error message that the file could not be restored along with the error messages below. (this was for the intro quartz file)
I don’t even know where to begin about trying to solve this. From what i can see I have the plugin installed. it is in library>graphics>etc…. > quartz composer plugins
i can press continue and the file opens but nothing appears to happen
any help would be great!! thanks> (null)

The correct directory is
/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins
(or the equivalent in your home directory’s Library folder). Is that where it is?June 4, 2011 at 9:19 am #4216problemmathsParticipantHi
Yeah that is where it is. in the main one not in my user library.
June 4, 2011 at 9:39 am #4217problemmathsParticipantif that makes sense, I mean it is in the library folder of my hard drive not the library under my user name. All my quartz plugins and patches are in the hard drive library under /Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins (or patches for some of them)

June 4, 2011 at 10:19 am #4219problemmathsParticipantmacbook pro (an older one about 4 years old – Intel Core 2 Duo)
video card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
running snow leopard and quartz 4June 4, 2011 at 12:14 pm #4220vadeKeymasterThat ought to work just fine. Did you download the DMG from v002.info ? It decompressed, verified and opened ok? I’ve used the 8600 GT with those models with the Rutt (a friend has one), so im pretty sure it works.
You can try the beta of version 3.0 at:
http://v002.info/downloads/beta/ (its just the plugin, and that plugin is actually unique, you can have both 2.0 and 3.0 installed, and they both show up “uniquely”, so the search the path library and try to find v002 Rutt Etra 3.0.
Thanks, curious the issue is.
June 4, 2011 at 10:43 pm #4221problemmathsParticipantThanks for your help. I have it working now. I did a couple of things…
I had some other v002 plugins in the patches folder – I moved them to the plugins folder
I installed v3 of the rutt etra pluginThanks for your advice and quick responses! 🙂
