Automatic Plugin Installation
Well, I don't know why, nor when, but I've got an idea on how to implement plugin installations in a way the author can manage on his own.
Let's say every plugin author could add an exported function to the library (dll or wfx), InstallPlugin, for example. In this function, the author write the code to automatically install the plugin to Total Commander, for example, modifying the wincmd.ini file...
Then we only need a program that unpacks the plugin archive with all it's contents to a temporary folder, and calls the InstallPlugin function of the plugin.
Well, this combined with a Plugin Repository could be very useful, but that's just a dream...
P.S: I must excuse for my english today more than other days, it's worse than never...

Thank, fabiochelly, but I don't need it by now. Let's say I think much, but develop few things
Anyway, I've got also an idea for a FileSystem plugin, and started to work, but this is in halt at this time.
I hope & wish Maxwish ( ) have time to port his webpage to php+mysql. But anyway, I use to install things manually, so it's not needed to hurry
Bye!

GREAT
Three things left: (imho )
1. would you mind to rename the downloadable files to e.g. wfx_versions_1.51.zip?
2. What about the version header in your plugins??
3. No dropdown-listbox to select the list when adding a new search???
Anyway:Thank you!
Hope you don't think, that I'm complaining or wining , just would be fine!!
