Can I really be this Dense?

I am a nooby here and I am trying to get started with Event Ghost

I am running version 0.3.7.r1462 on Win XP
I have been going through the tutorial and have written the sample plugin and the
tutorial says "Start EventGhost, add your plugin to the tree and fire up the AddActionDialog"

I have been trying for several hours and I have not been able to add the Plugin to the tree let alone fire up the AddActionDialog.

I did search the site here but could not find anything that mentions how to do this. I am sorry for being this stupid but if someone could aim me in the right direction I would be very happy.

You saved the plugin in EventGhost\Plugin\(Name of plugin)? and started/restarted EventGhost? then you should be able to add the plugin in EventGhost with Add Plugin menu.

That is what I did, but nothing shows up under "Other".

Is there something special about the name I gave it, Bobs_try, ?
Everything else was copied from the tutorial.

The filename needs to be __init__.py, the directory name could be anything.

Attach your plugin and I'll see if it works for me. I used the tutorial when I did my XBMCRepeat plugin, so I know it works.

I noticed that in the other folders there is a compiled Python file that mine does not have.

I have attached the plugin I am working with.

Thank you for all your help.

The file needs double underscores before/after init: "__init__.py", not "_init_.py".

You only have single underscores. After struggling with that for so long, I'm sure you'll never make that mistake again!
