well it would be difficuly as it could leave files, as you dont know if a plugin had other required dlls etc. RE: plugin idea by CookieRevised on 07-10-2004 at 01:33 PM

i said about using a file, as the files could be made for exisitng plugins, if the information required is found out from the plugin developers, but then you have loads of small files. RE: plugin idea by CookieRevised on 07-10-2004 at 01:39 PM
