Plugins

Post by MSpagni »

I think we already discussed that but bear for me.

In my configuration I have a plugin that operates on archives.
(For the records:
name filters: "*.zip,*.jar,*.war,*.ear,*.har,*.xpi,*.7z,*.gz,*.gzip,*.tgz,*.bz2,*.bzip2,*.tbz2,*.tbz,*.tar,*.lzma,*.rar,*.cab,*.arj,*.z,*.taz,*.cpio,*.lzh,*.lha"
application: "C:\Programmi\ExamDiff Pro\Plug-Ins\7-Zip\7z.exe"
arguments: "l $INPUTFILEPATH -r")

EDP has a standard plugin ("Unzip") for the same file extensions and, as I discovered long ago, if both plugins are enabled they are executed in sequence.
Of course, I disabled the standard plugin.

Every time there is an update of EDP that plugin is reenabled and, more often than not, I forget to disable it until I get a mess in archive comparison.

Suggestion: if a "standard" plugin is already installed but is user disabled, why not update it but leaving it still disabled?

We'll do this in the next build.

Only today, in need of a sort for a plugin result, I realized that the "sort" plugin is the last one so simply enabling it I'd get what I was looking for!
Very good idea, but one that only now reached my mind.
I'm a bit late, sorry. :roll:

Hmm, I'm not sure how it's related to the change you requested earlier. It still seems a valid feature.

Related to the change I requested earlier? Not at all.
Just for the note that all the relevant and enabled plugins are executed in sequence... and you can specify that sequence!
Very good.
