[QUOTE="Peter2, post: 426588, member: 24945"] I totally agree that the use of mpi's could make things a lot easier. For the moment - though it has improved lately - it's not straightforward how/where to find/install plugins and my opinion is that having multiple places where to find them and how to install, confuses a lot of us. Having read some of the postings of this thread and the 'cry out' for using this new way of creating/installing plugins, I guess there are mainly 2 reasons for not doing so: 1) for the developers: maybe lack of knowledge or time to adapt into it and of course the habit of the known way 2) for the users: not knowing about the existence and the multitude of sources of plugins/extensions/modifications/... Please, don't take any of this as criticism; I hope it's a contribution. PS: I insalled mpi for the first time today - OneButtonMusic - even though in the enclosed readme the only info is about installing manually, and was confused that the plugin didn't appear only after re-opening the MP configuration applet. Is this behavior by design and if so, would it not be useful to indicate this in the MPinstaller window? [/QUOTE]
