Hello there,

I've downloaded Ext.js from http://code.google.com/p/evoluspencil/downloads/list
But i cannot get the collection to show up in Pencil.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

Also i wonder if it's possible to use 'sketchy' lines for shapes (like
http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups ) . It would be great if
that's a possibility!

I had the same problem. I found no solution in the documentation :
( however, if you run the program, then right click on the "Shape
Collections" pane there on the left, you will see the dialog box pop
up and then select the option "Install New Collection". Find and
select the zip file you downloaded and hit ok. It will pop a warning
about being unsigned, just accept it and you should be all set.

No idea about the other issue. G/L.

To Add a Shape collection:

- open Stencil
- right click on the"shape collection" pane
- select "Install new collection ..."
- select the .zip file

Done !

I've done this over and over and over, and it doesn't work...

if you're in linux (i'm on centos), i found what works is unzipping the stencil archive and then placing it and the Definition.xml into a directory named after the stencil.  then, place the folder into the /usr/share/pencil/content/pencil/stencil folder next to the other stencils and restart pencil and they should show up.
