I've been looking at the code yesterday, and I think I have identified the process you describe. So, using your general idea, what I'm planning to do is this: * add a class attribute to the plugin base class, is_notebook_independent or something, the default would be False. automount (and any other plugin that requires it) should overwrite this with True * load the general preferences, but as far as plugins is concerned, load only those marked with is_notebook_independent * open/initialize the notebook * try to load a specific notebook profile with preferences. If one is found, merge (or replace?) the general preferences. If we merge, the specific profile should take precedence. * load the plugins Does this seem reasonable? -- Mariano _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
