If your Internet browser unzips downloaded .zip files, you'll need to zip them up or use a different Internet browser. (If you're an advanced user, you could also select Edit > Preferences > Open Preferences Location and copy the unzipped plugin folder to to the Sigil plugins folder.) You also might want to download the ActiveTcl Community Edition, because many plugins require this library. BTW, if you're working on an epub3 book for the iBooks Store, you won't be able to check your book with FlightCrew, because it doesn't support epub3 books. |

An Apple user should be able to tell you how--specifically--to change the Safari setting that automatically unzips downloaded zip files. It was a horrible decision (on Apple's part) to enable that feature by default in Safari in my opinion. It's always better to let knowledgeable users enable a feature than it is to expect unknowledgeble users to know such a feature exists and how to change it.
Look for a Downloads section in Safari's preferences in the meantime. The setting should be in that area, I should think. Last edited by DiapDealer; 02-09-2019 at 06:42 AM. |

If you are on Mac OSX, make sure you have disabled any further processing of your download (it is never a good idea to automatically run anything downloaded - assumed safe or not). Inside your Downloads folder you should see a zip archive and not an unzipped folder.
Then manually move that zip file to your Desktop from the Downloads Folder. Only **after** manually moving that zip folder out of Downloads, you can start Sigil and navigate to Sigil's Preferences and use the Plugin Manager to install your Plugin. Mac OSX gatekeeper treats files inside your DownLoads folder in a different way from other files that you have manually moved out for security reasons. Please try that and let me know what you see.

@KevinH Do the following Safari instructions still work with the latest version?
How do I stop automatically unzipping downloaded zip files in Mac Safari? |

Yes. Those work. It is the first thing I turn off when getting a new Mac desktop machine.

UPDATE:
Issue resolved by first unchecking "Open 'safe' files" in Safari preferences General tab, and downloading Flightcrew plugin again. Much obliged kind folks :-) |
