Yes, I think I can :) The plugin loaded will be the most recent version, with priority given to plugins in ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/. So if you have plugin poblesec 0.8 in your development branch and in ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/, the latter will be used. To work around that, just remove all plugins in ~/.elisa-0.5/plugins/. > Best Regards, > Kristian > >> Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 12:07:34 +0100 >> From: [email protected] >> To: [email protected] >> CC: [email protected]; [email protected] >> Subject: Re: [Elisa] My weekly cry for help:-) How to put image in player >> >> Hi Kristian, >> >> I got confronted to the same problem some time ago when writing a plugin >> for a webradio.
