plugin expfolder failing to install

[Israel Hands]

Leo just gets better, not sure the same can be said for me!

I can't seem to get some plugins to install - the one I would most like to work is expfolder - any thoughts?

The file leo/plugins/expfolder.ini no longer appears to be in the repo, so the plugin is bailing when trying to read it's init file.  This is a good sign that the plugin hasn't been workable for ages.

I don't see any author info in the plugin's docstring.  I suppose someone could patch this up to use @settings nodes instead of an .ini file.

Isn't active-path the successor to expfolder. I remember when I was looking through the plugins and I though expfolder was what I wanted it turned out that active-path did what I was looking for. Maybe check it out.

Thanks Jacob - I now see why it doesn't work. And thanks John, you are exactly right, Activepath is exactly what I want. Thanks for your time guys.
