Hi.
I'm running LMS on a Mac where among many other things LMS stores
*installed* plugins in my user's *cache folder*.
The problem is: it's not a very safe place to store stuff in because
every now and then the entire cache folder gets deleted due to (major)
OS updates, trouble shooting and what not.
Ideally, I could just do another LMS rescan and be done with it. BUT the
*installed* plugins got deleted (as part of the cache folder) and I need
to reinstall all of the plugins. Plus at some point, some plugins that
are no longer available in any repo may be gone for good.
Especially, since the -Cache- folder is excluded from most backups by
design/default, TimeMachine is just one example. So I wouldn't be able
to recover lost plugins if they couldn't be re-downloaded from their
repos.
I know this seems like a small matter and I don't know how this is
handled on other OS.
Talking for the Mac version: couldn't you move just this "installed
plugins" folder somewhere safe to ensure minimal downtime/hassle when
the cache folder gets deleted again?
Maybe to the -Applications Support- folder (~/Library/Application
Support/)? I think that one already has a Squeezebox subfolder in it
where you could put it.
Oh, BTW, I get a codesigning related warning ("not a verified
developer...") since the last 2 Mac OSX installer packages (beta).
Thank you.
