I have made a first shot on a plugin-selector plugin. Once loaded, it appears in the Media/Preferences menu. Also attached a new version off the tabbed console plugin. Comments are welcome.<br>
BTW the gtklook plugin makes messagebox font quite big (compared to the button's text) and there is no way to override it, unless i overwrite some options which i'm not bold enough to do...<br>

The plugins-plugin.tcl is a great idea! The only problem is that plugins can be installed anywhere in the Pd path. Check the load_startup_plugins proc in pd-gui.tcl. I think you could make this work by just inserting/removing the 'disabled' folder in the path to the plugin itself. Also, you'll need to check to make sure that the 'disabled' subfolder is there, and create it if not.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Yes actually i started out from that loop, it will be no problem to write up what you suggest.<br>However it comes to my mind, can we invent a better way of en/disabling plugins? "Disabled" folders all over the place, just for the plugins, would not look nice... but whats really ugly is that when a plugin is moved from its original location svn will restore it upon the next update. At least my svn does.<br>
Now i'm not sure what would be the best way; i wouldn't mess up the good old .pdsettings, but i think if we want to follow the logic of pd, we still might use a text file. But that has to be synchronised upon each startup.<br>
>From another aspect - if a plugin is located elsewhere than /startup/ doesn't it mean that it is bundled with a library? In that case it may be superfluous to en/disable it separately from the startup/libs list.<br><br>

Perhaps Pd should keep a list of the plugin files its loaded, or maybe there is another way to handle that.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I attached a version that works on Mac OS X, the prefs menu has a different name:<br>
