Aha I see, that was the critical bit--I never paid attention to the -s
option in the plucker-build list of things. Nice.

That makes good sense, and is a good strategy.

Definately, I agree.


Sections would definately be an easier way to deal with configurations (for
not the least of which, it would absolve of having to keep switching and
creating/destroying config objects). Also faster on the loading of rows into
main dialog's list control and easier to execute with a button execute
command.

I was wondering about where to best save a channels's home.html, in a GUI
context of having a HTML editable file of a list of links, but which you
want to abstract this concept away from them? Also, farther down the road, a
channels cache directory will probably raise in importance as the stuff in
it will likely be examined and reused. Still worthwhile to have channel
directories to hold these two items (but not the channel's config file)?

Best wishes,
Robert
