In doing so, any plugins downloaded would also be deleted. Granted, there is no data lost - a user could reinstall the plugin, but that's an annoyance that I wouldn't like for no reason. I could see it happening; install an upgrade, delete cache, find a plugin missing, wonder what other plugins have been lost, try to locate them, download new versions that don't work, etc. My cache folder is set to a different location to my plugin folder. My SC application (and plugins) get backed up; my SC cache folder with thousands of files doesn't. I haven't had users reporting any major problems when downloading and installing my plugins, so I see no reason to change to something that I could envisage having problems. _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
