It is a seperate plugin type with distinct plugins that only serve to refer to "file" plugins (which are found in plugin/object.c, not in plugin/file/*.c). So when I create a new "file" plugin, I cannot use it unless I also create a "regular" plugin which serves no purpose except to allow me to create those "file"s by storing their ID. A few words explaining why the "regular" plugin field couldn't have somehow storeda "file" plugin would be educational. Also, regular is a rather unclear name. Something like "defaultfileplugin" might be easier to deduce, or even "defaultchild". -pvh -- Peter van Hardenberg (pvh@pvh.ca) Victoria, BC, Canada
