Re: Where I install ditaa plugin ?

 

Thanks, it worked !

I don't know what you mean by
 I suggest to extract the content of the zipfile rather to c:\tools\ditaa
then into Program Files….

I've just copied ditaa to c:\tools (doing nothing in Program Files), and
followed the remaining steps.
Now ditaa plugin is 'checkable'

Thanks !!!
