+[[Category:Frequently Asked Questions]]
-Mine are Action=NONE because the mjp is inside the zip and in order to use it you've already unzipped the file.  One headache required due to the way Sourceforge hosts files.  It would actually be easier to have the URL link to a hosted file, which is the way J.River's plugin download mechanism works.
