Why is autorun disabled?

<< < (2/2)

grums:
Thanks all - I agree that it would be more elegant to configure autorun from the menu system, you could also enable several plugins to run...
Still, from your answers I can't see why the simple version shouldn't be enabled by default - I use it (until the RB USB works) for cleaning up the Sansa ##MUSIC# etc. garbage directories.
BTW: will a plugin compiled for one RB release run on another (maybe a stupid question, I'm not a developer)? If the autorun feature was enabled by default, one could just copy the autorun plugin between releases without recompiling, that would be helpful.

nls:
Well we prefer things Done Right, making this configurable shouldn't be hard and the hardcoded mechanism is a bit awkward. If a plugin will run on a new release depends on if some incompatible change was made to the plugin api, usually such changes are made between major releases so a plugin for x.y will probably not work on x.y+1
