Yes actually i started out from that loop, it will be no problem to write up what you suggest. However it comes to my mind, can we invent a better way of en/disabling plugins? "Disabled" folders all over the place, just for the plugins, would not look nice... but whats really ugly is that when a plugin is moved from its original location svn will restore it upon the next update. At least my svn does. Now i'm not sure what would be the best way; i wouldn't mess up the good old .pdsettings, but i think if we want to follow the logic of pd, we still might use a text file. But that has to be synchronised upon each startup. >From another aspect - if a plugin is located elsewhere than /startup/ doesn't it mean that it is bundled with a library? In that case it may be superfluous to en/disable it separately from the startup/libs list. Perhaps Pd should keep a list of the plugin files its loaded, or maybe > there is another way to handle that.

Sorry my SNR seems to be ~50% Andras
