A newbie – can’t find zip install option

Just discovered this app and site - installed on a Mac.

I see instructions on how to install an Add-On that includes installing from a zip file as part of flow. Example:

.
.
Go back to your Home Screen and then to SYSTEM > Add-Ons > Install from Zip File > “MD” > Repo > mdrepo-1-0-x.zip and wait for the Add-on enabled notification
.
.

Problem is that I don't see an install from zip file option in the Add-Ons menu, or anywhere else for that matter. Where do I find this option?

Thanks,

$INFO labels with Skin.ToggleSetting & Skin.HasSetting

Been trying various way to do the following but keep getting parse errors or settings where the $INFO didn't expand and the setting literally contained $INFO[....] as part of the setting ID.

would like to create a toggle control that does the following but with correct syntax

Code:
        <control type="radiobutton">
            <label>Toggle Foo</label>
            <onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(foo-$INFO[Container.FolderPath]-$INFO[Window.Property(xmlfile)])</onclick>
            <selected>Skin.HasSetting(foo-$INFO[Container.FolderPath]-$INFO[Window.Property(xmlfile)])</selected>
        </control>

that in turn creates a skin setting like:

Code:
<setting id="foo-addons://-AddonBrowser.xml" type="bool">true</setting>

That can be use as conditional elsewhere in the skin

I had a thought just now that maybe this is one of those times that requires the use of $ESCINFO[] ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
