I thought there might be an issue with my Rapid Maps 4 plugin so I removed the plugin for the add on folder then downloaded Rapid maps 4 and in my downloads it appears as a dog file. Double click and the Plugin and documentation file appear: Double click on the plugin and the RW install box appears; I click install and this message appears: **“RapidMaps.rapidweaverplugin” couldn’t be copied because you don’t have permission to access “to Install”.** CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN, I ADDED A NEW STACKS PLUGIN WITHOUT A PROBLEM
