O.P. About Initialize()
Patchou... i hope you're reading this.

in v2.20.51 you changed the plugin support a little bit by using a different thread for them. I Quote:

There are two modifications: first, Initialize() is called in a different thread. It is synchronised with the main thread, you shouldn't have to worry about it but well, you never know...  the second modification is a protection: if you messed with the header file distributed with the API package and your function is not compiled with __stdcall anymore, Plus! will block your plugin so no function after Initialize() will be called.


ok I understand why you did it... but doesnt it make the Initialize() function useless?? i cant initialize in that function anymore cos all get destroyed when the thread is closed.
So.. wouldn't it be a better idea to run the ENTIRE plugin in the other thread? Cos if something is wrong in another function it could still mess up. :)

To initialize my values now.. i have to do it when one of my other functions are called. which is kinda messy IMHO.

hope you understand what i mean :) furthermore.... keep up the fgood work :bow:
I code in:
C
C++
Delphi
Visual Basic
Pascal :P
