[ListerPlugins] section of wincmd.ini

[Valentino]

Christian, what do you think about determining Lister plugins order by the order of records in this section instead of by ordinal numbers? It will ease exchanging plugins order - just cut'n'paste instead of manual renumbering all entries (including NN_detect ones).
Maybe use plugins names (as file system plugins) instead of numbers:

[face=courier]SynPlus=c:\path\to\SynPlus.wlx
PDF View=c:\path\to\pdfview.wlx
MP3 Tag=c:\path\to\mp3tag\mp3tag.wlx
MP3 Tag_detect="ext="MP3""[/face]

How do you think about plugins order?
INI file doesn't support it. The StringList may reorder entries by alphabetical order...

Reason may be like this:
<name>=<order>,<file location>

SynPlus=0,c:\path\to\SynPlus.wlx
PDF View=1,c:\path\to\pdfview.wlx
MP3 Tag=2,c:\path\to\mp3tag\mp3tag.wlx
MP3 Tag_detect="ext="MP3""

[Valentino]

As far as I know Christian uses his own functions to handle INI. So I thought he can do this. In case he can't I have another idea (with your suggestion we will have to renumber all plugins too):

[face=courier]SynPlus=c:\path\to\SynPlus.wlx
PDF View=c:\path\to\pdfview.wlx
MP3 Tag=c:\path\to\mp3tag\mp3tag.wlx
MP3 Tag_detect="ext="MP3""
PluginsOrder=SynPlus,PDF View,MP3 Tag[/face]

With this, we'll have to cut and paste to move some plugin higher or lower in sequence. But I'd prefer my first suggestion.

and why not two new buttons "up" and "down" in the plugins installation dialogbox, to rearrange the order of the plugins ?

[Valentino]

And checkboxes to the left of each row to temporary disable some plugins (e.g. rarely used, or registered on the same extension) instead of uninstalling.

Valentino, you've had a bath and a shave. Hmmm... Stay away from water in the future.

2Leif I agree +++

To Leif and ben hub

I had an hour or two without electricity, and I didn't know what to do without my favourite TC, so I decided to refresh myself a bit after many years of working with TC without bath...
