Since plug-ins MUST be rewritten to work in version 7, hopefully the developers will clean up their code and avail themselves of some of the new APIs, e.g. the preferences name spaces, etc.
BTW, yes, the plug-in system does allow people like me, who know NOTHING about perl programming, to dabble and potentially break our servers. How throughly are the plug-ins that get promoted on the SlimDevices "SlimServerPlugins" page vetted? Perhaps some kind of user rating and comment system on the web page, a la Firefox's add-ons page, could help. But I suppose that that will be developed down the road along side the plug-in manager. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40200 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
