Hi @abh3 - I'm sure that all plugins use a different syntax - as you suggest, it's likely from plugin writers working independently (and, I'd add, not having access to the configuration subsystem). However, setting up a class that generates the input string seems to be quite complicated (example question: if I specify a configuration variable multiple times, is it additive or does it replace earlier invocations) compared to simply providing access to the config system like other plugins do. No? Brian -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
