Hi
The help file states that there is something called shared support to enable shared toolbox. I cannot seem to find it. I am trying to share my tool box and wasted over couple hours on it. Can please anyone give me simple steps to share it? I tried exporting as archieve file put it on sahred folder that did not do the trick because it seems like it imports into the user settings folder. I do not want to use the export as project path because I like to have it something called Toolbox. Project method works but then it is listed under projects.
thanks

The shared toolbox is simply a second Komodo toolbox, which can be saved to a specific location on your filesystem (such as on a network share). It does not offer any additional functionality for performing the sharing between different users (i.e. it does not offer any send to user X features).
The best way to share your existing toolbox is to export it as a project file. This project file can then be either opened in the Project's tab (as a project - kpf), or set as the shared toolbox (copy to the "toolbox.kpf" filename as set in the Komodo IDE's "Shared Support" preferences).
If opened as a project file, you can also mouse-drag the contents from the project and mouse-drop them into the toolbox.

Thank you for the follow up. I am under Komodo Edit and I think the documentation that is shipped with Edit is for Komodo Ide which has caused the confusion here. So it looks like Toolbox sharing(as toolbox) is not possible with Komodo Edit because there is no ""Shared Support" in the preferences. And only option for Komodo Edit users is opening it as project.
Yes, that is correct.
The other option is to export as a "Komodo package file - kpz", which as of Komodo 5.1.3 can be dragged/dropped onto Komodo an it will install the package into your toolbox (ideal for a one-off sharing, but not ideal for constant sharing).
Cheers,
Todd
Thanks, that clears it up for me
