What do you all think of adding a minor convenience to the plugin
loading process? I know it isn't that hard, but many of my users don't
remember to use Plugin Manager or PV_PLUGIN_PATH, and don't want to
bother adding it to their dot-files. Thus I am forced to wrap all the
executables with scripts that set it.
What about the following alternative:
Modify pqPluginManager::loadPlugins() to also load plugins from
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/plugins (where CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX gets set in
CMake).
That way (assuming I do a make install) any plugins that I place in the
plugins directory get loaded.
If you like it, what chance is there of getting it into the 3.2.1
release? I'm willing to try it myself and make a patch for you all at
Kitware.
Thanks,
Sean
