yeah well my 'fix' was to do :
if {default profile } {
delete ~/.amsn/plugins.xml
}
to make sure we don't save anything and we remove any previously saved info.
This is also the only solution I found for the problem of having 'winks'
enabled for new profiles. If you're an
amsn user and were using 0.96, theen you probably already have your list of
loaded plugins in the default
profile, so when you create a new, it just 'inherits' the plugins from the
default profile, so you get nudge,
cam shooter, etc.. but not winks, and we can't enable it by force because what
if someone disabled it on purpose
from the default profile to prevent it from being loaded...
anyways, we could do special code in the 'CreateProfile' proc instead of doing
it in load_config...
Anyways, Mirko, your idea is really good, I like that, problem is that there
are too many plugins to maintain if
we want to do this... But I'll see if we can still use this solution!
