hi,
we had a discussion going on about the proper way to implement plug-ins
in our app. while my developer opted for inclusion inside of the
package, i (as the ui-guy) opted for the creation of a folder in
app-support.
he then hit me whith the HIG.
bummer. ;)
now, the reason i wanted a folder outside of our app was to keep
3rd-party plug-ins installed when we provide an update to our
application. i also gotta admit that i didn't know about the finder's
feature of adding/removing plug-ins via "get info".
how do y'all handle this?
i feel that it'd be a bad idea to use the finder feature, as our users
will have to re-add their plug-ins once we update our app. i also feel
that it'd be easier to update plug-ins that way, as it's a simple
drag'n'drop, instead of a bunch of clicks.
then again, enabling/disabling of plug-ins is so much easier using "get
info" then moving a plug-in into or out of a folder nested inside an
obscure folder.
any thoughts, comments, insights?
thanx
