Installing Extensions.

Using a Mac System10.8.5 and LibreOffice 4.1.2. I find I am unable to install
extension updates.
Here is an example error message:

Error while installing extension writer2epub.oxt. The error message is:
Cannot detect media-type:
file:///var/folders/5t/4xr22xm88xl2dq0059_tfzwh0000gp/T/QUD5Ee_/CJCszl_/YYiH3w
The extension will not be installed.

The Path for extensions should read Applications >Libre Office >Contents

Share >Extensions.

How can I correct this as there is no Path in the Preferences "Paths" for
Extensions.

Tink.

Do you have the "quick launch" option checked/available?

For both Windows and Linux, that option causes the Extension Manager's
extension updating process to fail.

I do not remember what the error message was for that.

Also, have you tried to "open the file with LO" within the file manager
instead of within LO itself?
