Hi! I have posted a patch (3411037) in tracker for plugin loading which moves the plugin loading away from OBConversion constructor and loads them instead on first access. I would like to get some feedback on it.
The use case for this is when the molecule is constructed in a program without the use of OBConversion and one wants to generate 3D coordinates or optimize the structure using some MM forcefield. Now one has to guess that OBConversion constructor has to be called before searching for forcfield regardless if the OBConversion is actually needed at that point or not. With the proposed patch all plugins will be loaded when they are accessed for the first time. So there is no need for any extra action from the user. This patch doesn't change OB behavior in any incompatible way as far as I can tell and it is in line with the lazy evaluation idea. So, is this approach ok? Is there anything I'm missing? Will it be in 2.3.1? :) Reinis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?
