Actually, quite a bit was done for this minor update to the plugins. Accented characters in addresses will now properly work with Google Earth. I was still unsuccessful with Japanese addresses though, something to do with the UTF-8 encoding in the URL. So, for now, Japanese addresses are sent to Google Earth as-is without determining their coordinates. All that’s lost is the cool fly-to effect that the other addresses get. I don’t plan on giving up on it just yet though.
Also, I’ve built my own bare-bones installer. It still installs to your home folder for now. The bundles can be relocated to your root Library folder if you choose, as long as the folder structure is left intact.
I also tried to make some of the wording in the plugins more user-friendly.
You can download the new plugins from here. Enjoy.
