# Plugins Window

The Plugins Window shows you what plugins are installed and active.

Plugins are located in a directory on your hard drive. On Unix-like systems, Maverick Model 3D will try `$HOME/.mm3d/plugins`. If that directory does not exist it will try in a shared directory (defaults to `/usr/local/share/mm3d/plugins`, although this can be changed at install time). Maverick Model 3D will descend into subdirectories and follow symbolic links. On Windows, Maverick Model 3D uses the `plugins` subdirectory where Maverick Model 3D was installed.

The main component of the plugins window is a table that contains a list of plugins. Each plugin should also provide a Version string and a Description string. There is also a Status column that tells you if the plugin is properly initialized and currently active.

All plugins can be disabled at run time by specifying `--no-plugins` on the command line. Specific plugins can be disabled by specifying `--no-plugin=plugin_name` on the command line. `--no-plugin` can be specified more than once.

Press Ok to close the window.
