Mynd tool uninstall

Post by BeeListener »

Hi,
does anyone know how to uninstall Mynd tools. I got them a few years ago but find I don't use them and would like to free up the space.
Many thanks :-)

Moho scripts are just put in a specific folder, so you can delete them or you can move them to a different folder and name that folder "disabled" or something similar and Moho won't know they exist but you will have them at hand. The buttons usually come with an icon with the same name, not like the menu scripts. And programmers usually name them using some prefixes with their initials, so all Mynd tools will start with MD_ or something similar.

I think it's a good idea to cull unused scripts from your windows and menus. Right now I'm probably running the leanest set of third-party tools I've ever had in Moho because I had so many tools that I only used once in a blue moon and the clutter made it harder to find the tools I did use. Plus some tools were left unused for so long, I no longer remembered what they were for. :D

The easiest way is to just pull out all the scripts you don't use in the Scripts folder of your Custom Content Folder. What I do is I have a 'Disabled' folder in that directory and drag the scripts I'm not using to it. Moho will not load anything nested inside another folder, so this is a good way to temporarily 'disable' any third party tools in case you want to add them again in the future.

From what I recall, the Mynd scripts include a custom tool layout. You might want to remove that or edit it. I got rid of that a long time ago because I prefer to have my own tools layout for Moho. You can create your own layout manually in a text editor or use the Tools Layout tab in Preferences.

Haha not a coincidence, I learnt this from you.
