I like the idea. I think the "hide" logic should be based on a checksum of plugin name + description so that "hidden" plugins would become visible again if the description changed (but NOT based on mere updates to version, changelog changes, etc.). Imagine my PowerCenter plugin -- it used to only support Linux. Windows users naturally would hide info about a plugin that didn't run on Windows. When I added Windows support, I could've updates the description in the repo & Windows users would then see that plugin again. Basing the hide logic on name+desc would let users learn of new features, while keeping hidden any plugin whose description/features hadn't changed. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54805 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
