Network Plug-In Configuration

You can include path annotations to additional INI files within the local plugin.ini and the software will process the files as if they were part of the original plugin.ini. This can be very helpful in settings where several systems on a network are using the same plug-ins. The network administrator need only maintain a single remote INI file, rather than having to update each machine individually.

Procedure

To add remote INI files to your local plugin.ini:

1. Open your local copy of plugin.ini with your preferred text editor.

2. At the bottom of the file, type [include]

3. Below [include], type myremote = \\remote_dir\remote_plugin.ini on one line and anotherdir = d:\test\extra_plugin.ini on a separate line.

   

   Note: You can give any title to the directory (myremote or anotherdir, in this case) and the directory can be any local or remote directory. In addition, the INI file can have any name.

4. Save plugin.ini and exit the text editor.

   The next time you start the software, it will load plug-ins from the directories defined in plugin.ini, as well as those in any remote INI file that has been included in plugin.ini.

You can add as many remote INI files as you need, making it easy to organize groups of plug-ins.
