    @ David & Eugene, no I had the latest one downloaded from their website (btw it still says it’s in Beta) and it failed, both when I double clicked on the file and selected it from with the Extension Manager. I tried Eugene’s trick (but I used 7zip instead) and it worked! It’s great now, loving it….

    I have updated LayoutZone (1.3b3). This new version should fix the issues reported by @Eugene.

    I had an issue similar to that Stix I had to use WinRar to extract the content and then run the file directly from the extracted content. And that has worked.

    @Stix: One of the developers wrote me about your problem: “They probably have an older build. Also, they might get this message if they haven’t uninstalled any earlier versions. It was developed in Window 7 64 bit, so there shouldn’t be a problem there.”

  5. Has anyone else got the Fotolia plugin working in InDesign CS5 running on Windows 7 64 bit. For me it comes up with an error message when installing about an invalid token and fails.

    Hmm the Layout Zone for exporting to PNG moved things around in the layers and ordered them incorrectly. Best to group everything first, that will combine to a layer, then export to PNG.

    Also, the Convert Zone doesn’t work when working in Pixels.

    Thanks for all the links. Very useful.
