Technically it's possible. I need to think about it. ... > Is this a headache :-). > Kind of. ... TW plugins can have a "license". In most cases they are very flexible. MIT or BSD. So they can be easily re-distributed. But that's not always the case. ... I know, that the user has to take care of this. But never the less it's a thing, that a developer should be aware of and provide some information to the end-user and imo the bundling system should help the authors here. This is additional work and also adds complexity. You may be aware of the licensing thing, but your users may have no idea. .. So they are not even aware, that they have or cause licensing problems. The second thing is, that plugins can be updated, independently of any content. So if you bundle a plugin with your content, users may import "old" plugins with your content. So they'll get import warnings and don't know, what to do, because the expectation is, that it's just content. After some time I'm sure that there will be requests, to automatically handle this problem. Eg. Don't bundle the plugin, but just a link to the plugin source. And import the latest plugin form the original source. ... Just a guess. ... I personally wouldn't want to carry around outdated plugins with my content. ... because sometimes they are much bigger as my content. .. just some thoughts. have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
