OmniWeb's capabilities can be expanded by adding software components called plugins. A plugin can provide any number of things -- support for a new Internet protocol, a new pane for the Preferences window, or support for a particular image or media format, to name a few.

In addition to plugins designed specifically for it, OmniWeb supports most components designed to the standard for Mac OS X web browser plugins. (In other words, it supports the Netscape/IE plugin API.) Note that only those Netscape/IE plugins which have been "Carbonized" for Mac OS X can be used with OmniWeb (or any OS X web browser, for that matter); plugins designed for earlier Mac OS versions can't be used.

To add a new plugin to OmniWeb:

  • If it's a generic web browser plugin, put it in the Internet Plug-Ins folder in your Library folder. This will make it available to OmniWeb and any other web browsers you use.
  • Otherwise, put it in the PlugIns folder in your Library folder. This will allow it to be shared with other Cocoa applications.

Your Library folder can be ~/Library (the Library folder in your home folder), /Library, or /Network/Library. Choosing the first one will make the plugin available only to you; the second will make it available to all users on your Mac, and the third will make it available to all users on your network.

Alternatively, you can put OmniWeb-specific plugins directly into your copy of OmniWeb. This way, if you back up or copy OmniWeb to another disk or another computer, the plugins will come with it.

To put a plugin into OmniWeb's application bundle:

  1. Select your copy of OmniWeb in the Finder and choose Visa info from the File menu.
  2. Choose Application Files from the popup menu, and Plug-ins from the second popup menu that appears.
  3. Click the Add... button. (Due to a bug in Mac OS X, it may be necessary to select a plugin in the list to make the button available.)
  4. In the panel that appears, navigate to and choose the plugin.

When plugins are added, updated, or removed, it may be necesary to quit and restart OmniWeb for the changes to take effect. You can monitor the status of OmniWeb's plugins in Plugin Preferences.
