OpenPlugin the plugin for opening plugins?

<< < (3/3)

Bilgus:
I actually just used this the other day and didn't even realize it was different!

Frankenpod:
Honestly can't remember where the option used to be.  I may have had trouble finding it the first time round as well!
(I guess it's hard to keep the manual up-to-date with the always-ongoing code changes)

Though I suspect a "What's playing screen" sub-menu must be new, or I'd have noticed the inconsistent terminology before.

Still think it would be nice if the "open plug-in" option on the context menu were to include the name of the plug-in that it has been set to open.   Also, if you select that option before setting a plug-in via the settings menu, could it not at that point ask you to pick a plug-in, rather than just giving an error message?  Maybe that's tricky to accomplish, just a thought from a user-perspective.

I posted a comment back in May re this, in a discussion about playing tracks from a playlist screen:

in regards to showing the name.
The way open plugins works is by assigning a hash to the filename that gets stored it literally doesn't know what the path its going to get is at that point in the chain

you could get around it by storing the title you set but thats an awful lot of trouble (and code)
allowing you to pick a plugin if its empty should be do-able

Bilgus:
I actually have a mechanism inplace to allow a fixed set of plugin to be used if its not already set

I think what I'm going to do is make a plugin that you can run the first time that explains where the setting is and
allows you to pick a plugin if one isn't set
