[Nvda-devel] Help with Creating NVDA AddOn

[Michael M C. <nvd...@gm...>]

Hello All,

I am trying to make a simple addon which places a plugin into the globalPlugin folder.  I have made the manifest.ini file as follows:

--- Start ---
name = chtEnhancedUI
summary = Chinese Enhanced User Interface
description = Adds the functionality for users to enumerate through the list of Chinese characters one by one during text editing.
author = Michael M Chen <m1...@gm...>
--- End ---

I placed the plugin into a "\chtEnhancedUI\globalPlugins" folder and the manifest.ini into the "\chtEnhancedUI" folder, compressed the folder with 7zip with the parameter "cu=on" leaving all other fields as default, and then renamed the extension from ".zip" into ".nvda-addon".  But, I get the following error when executing the addon:

Error Failed to open add-on package file at D:\Applications\NV Access\addOn\chtEnhancedUI.nvda-addon - missing file or invalid file format

What steps or files am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Michael
