So the question is:

  Do we need an "active" mode for plugins in addition to
  the engine-supported "open" and "library" options?

If the majority opinion is to keep it we should release this beta as
final soon -- please get any bug reports in if you haven't already (the
item about the menu references is already on this list -- thank you
Klaus).  If not, we can remove it and get a last round of testing with a
final release soon after.


I see that there is an overwhelming agreement to remove the "active" plugins.

I agree that pretending that such a plugin is a library is a usable workabout (but a workabout nevertheless). At least for plugins that we use for ourselves.

I agree that there is no extreme need for a class of "active" plugins right now (nobody suggested a better label than "active" -- I agree it is not optimal). It might have paved a road for some new uses of plugin stacks (beyond using the plugin menu as simply a convinience launchpad for normal stacks). IMHO it gave almost the same power as Rev's more complicated plugins setup (and no overhead).

But alas, simplicity rules, so be it :(
