Hi Eron, The version number is inserted into the plugin directory name to avoid problems with mixing plugins of different versions to that linked to at compile time.
You should not need to ever encode the plugin directory path into your app, only the path to the parent directory of the plugin directory, as osgDB will automatically prepend the correct osgPlugin-version directory to the path when it can't find a plugin straight away.
