How to install the widget package (.lce)

Post by Marken » Thu Apr 07, 2016 2:22 pm

I developed a widget and package it into .lce file.
But I have no idea how to install widget package. Extension builder seems only load .lcb file.
Thanks anyone tell me how to distribute my own widget with .lce package without lcb

Currently there isn't a way to install it. I believe a menu option has been added to the IDE for the next LC 8 build, however.

OK so now you have piqued my interest!

What is purpose of .lce file format ... and does this add capabilities beyond what .lcb allows?

.lce is a package file that is used for distributing widgets you create to other developers.
