Hi I have elisa plugins in
~/development/elisa/elisa-current (development branch) and in the root file system (official install) + i have my own plugin in ~/development/elisa/elisa-myplugin How does this map to what you say? So if I remove your stuff from ~/home/development/elisa-current where should I code then?
