Jon, in the same vein, is there a quick way to reload a newly compiled plugin, other than quitting RB and relaunching? When developing, with dozens of recompiles of the plugin in a day and a large RB project, it
takes a lot of time to quit/reopen the RB project every time.

Sounds like a feature request is in order.  In addition to plugin
developers, this could help normal users to track down plugin issues
over normal coding issues by allowing the unload and reload of
plugins without requiring an IDE restart.  So, without further ado -
I present feature request ID "makbvffb":

You might want to sign on to per-project plugins which would give them same
result.

Per-Project is great, but doesn't give us the ability to unload and reload the plugins. This is for plugin developers that build a new plugin and to test it they must exit the IDE, add the new build, restart the IDE and reload the test project. Even on a fast Mac Pro that becomes a real time waster. Also, being able to comment out my plugin calls and remove the plugins from a work in progress could also even allow a mere mortal programmer to determine if an issue is in their code or a plugin.

If you could add plugins to a project you could just close the project and reopen the project Although this might then shift the lag in load times from the overall IDE to each project
And you'd still have to rebuild the precompiled plugin cache
