Hi Nyall and others here,

I'm writing here to the dev list because the PR has already been pulled and closed.

We implemented this new code in our plugin and it works very well! One thing is bothering me though, and I hope I am wrong here.

As I wanted to do a clean up in the plugin unload method, I figured I can never remove the preprocessor. Since our plugin overwrites the pathPreprocessor, it also overwrites any existing preprocessor. Or even worse, another plugin could overwrite ours! :)

I think the most elegant solution is a list of pathPreprocessors that will return either the input path or an edited one (like now). The path resolver would run them all in a chain and fix all paths for all plugins. By giving them an ID, it would also be possible to remove them (or overwrite them with a processor that always returns the input) on unloading the plugin.

I guess this is quite some work for a not much used feature (yet) and maybe the reason you chose to implement it this less comlplicated way. But it is potentially really hard to debug problems if 2 or more plugins collide on this and we want to reproduce the error. We would need to know all the plugins and versions our users have installed and look into that code.

Am I right? Please let me know your thoughts about this.

Kind regards,
Raymond
