Hi,

I'm about to add the possibility of setting configuration details for 
all my plugins using an ini file.  

The idea will be that the plugin checks for an ini file 
in a given place (pprofolder) with a given name, and if it finds it, 
uses it.

(In the case of my plugins you'll also be able to invoke a 
 config(filename) service to get the plugin to use another ini 
 file).  

The result will be a lot of ini files if you use a lot of plugins.  
So I've proposed to Artur Dorochowicz and Russel Oberio that all 
plugins that use ini files also check for plugins.ini in the folder 
pointer to by pprofolder, and will use appropriate sections in the 
file if found.

It will be up to individual plugin writes to decide whether the 
plugin-specific ini file or plugins.ini is checked for first.  Russel 
and I will both check for the special ini file first, plugins.ini 
next.

Obviously plugin writers have to make sure there's no conflict 
between section names they and others uses.  It would seem sensible 
for each plugin to use only sections that begin with the plugin name 
(see below).  I suppose it would be sensible to have some central 
list of which plugin uses which section names.  Any ideas about where 
to keep it and who keeps it?

List so far:


Artur Dorochowicz:

  [Console...]

Russel Oberio:

  [Keytrap...]
  [Mousetrap...]

Alan Campbell:

  [Mail...]
  [Net...]
  [Ini...]
  [Reg...]
  [Registry...]
  [Prog...]
  [Options...]

Any others?
