Can't get .tox files to appear when I drag in

Relatively new to TD, though not to creative code. I’m following this hand tracking tutorial, and I’m stuck at square 1… when I drag the Mediapipe.tox into my fresh TD project, nothing appears. I’m dragging it into my Project01 box, not the Perform box. As in, I’m zoomed into the Project01 box til it fades into the blank layout, and then I drag the Mediapipe.tox onto the blank layout. No errors, no popups, no response at all. Just…no tox.

I’ve made sure “Enable External .tox” is on, I’ve tried giving it the filepath in “external .tox path”…what am I missing?

I’m on a 2019 Macbook Pro, i9 Intel processor, running OS 10.15. I’m using TD version 2025.32460.

I have the absolutely same problem on the same video as well. I’m stuck as much as you are. I’m on a lenovo laptopi5 core intel

Hi @danteVibes and @andrewew

could you try using older versions of TouchDesigner available from here:

You systems might just fall outside the current requirements.

I just figured it out I hope it works for you too. I just downloaded a previous release on the github files and it worked(I used v 0.5.0). Try it out and I hope it works for you.
