I see that as a plugin author issue, but yes people should only really set maxVesion if they know it won't work (which Alien does as there are multiple versions due to api changes) I'll think about what will be possible with the command line option - my original thought would not allow you to set it to the location of the manually installed plugins but I will think about it... -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56358 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
