What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Download one stencil, the Dojo one is fine. 2. Try to install it in Pencil 2.05, by by "Tool / Install New Collection"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The stencil is not installed. It gives "Error installing collection".

A similar error message is known if I try to install an already-installed Template by "Tools / Manage Export Template…", button "Install New Template…", where it is right.

Here such error message is not right, as there is no name conflict, if a Stencil is not yet installed, or installed manually.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I'm using the standalone version of Pencil 2.05 on Win7 ( I got Firefox 24 installed, with which the Firefox plugin does no work )

Please provide any additional information below. A workaround is to install the stencils manually: 1. Extract the archives in ”<PencilProfile>/Pencil/Stencils” directory. 2. For the standolone (xulrunner) version: By example, on win7 by default: ”%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Pencil\Profiles{your-profile-name}\Pencil\Stencils” 3. For the Firefox extension version: By example, on win7 by default: ”%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles{your-profile-name}\Pencil\Stencils” 4. Each Stencil has its own a directory in this directory, with a “Definition.xml” file (and some other optional files). By example: ”[…]\Pencil\Stencils\ExtJs.GUI_v11\Definition.xml”. ”[…]\Pencil\Stencils\ExtJs.GUI_v11\Icons[…]”.

Anything new on this ?

I used the workaround to install famfam collection. It works but some collections are somehow broken (I don't know why so far) and icon images are not shown in the bar so I have to actually put it into the workspace to know how it looks and icons do not resize.

Thanks for the workaround. Looking forward for this fix.

I was having the same problem. Glyphish and Font Awesome were no longer available to me in the Collections sidebar (I might have inadvertently removed them both by clicking on the "X"...poor design...this is way too easy to do by accident). Anyway, I removed the folders corresponding Glyphish and Font Awesome folders from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Pencil\Profiles{your-profile-name}\Pencil\Stencils, re-downloaded the zip files from the website, and successfully installed them using the "Tools->Install new collection" menu option.
