Plugins folder

[Margot Hovley]

In order to get Quicksilver to work on SL, I deleted the plugins plist
and the plugins folder. Now it works, but it's sad without any
plugins. I've heard people saying to try reinstalling one plugin at a
time. How do I do this? Should I create a plugins folder and cut and
paste one plugin at a time back into that new folder? What about the
plist?

Don’t make it so hard. When you move all the plugins out, don’t move
them back just one at a time. That takes too long. Do it in binary:
drag half back in. Crashes? Drag half of those back out again. Doesn’t
crash, drag half of what’s left back in. Rinse and repeat. For N
plugins, it will take on the order of log2 N steps instead of N steps
(e.g. 5 instead of 32)."

Thanks! Good idea. Sorry I'm so dumb, but since the plugins folder
doesn't exist anymore inside the correct directory (I dragged the
whole thing out) should I first make a new plugins folder from scratch
and then move plugins into it? I also am not sure if I need to worry
about the missing plist.

That would work. Alternatively, you could dump the plugins on the
desktop, move the folder back in, and then move the plugins into it.

be aware that the folder name must be "PlugIns" (it's case sensitive)

Do I need to do anything about the plist file?

Try leaving it for now until you run into other problems.

In addition to the specific install made for Snow Leopard fixing my
first problem (preferences wouldn't render, etc..), I ended up running
in to another problem post setup where the application would no longer
launch.
I removed the contents of the plugin directory, and that cleared the
problem. My specific problem is exclusive to a single plugin, the
airport module.

So, in case you're installing plugins and biting your nails without
knowing which caused your problem, this may be a good candidate. I
have yet to experience any problems with other modules.
