Loading plugins with another plugin 2005-06-07 - By Andrew Skowronski

Hi Bernard,
Your memory is correct, this slowdown is something that we are aware of and
looking to address.
However if you load the other plug-ins directly inside your XSILoadPlugin call
you will lose all potential advantage of a deferred load, because they will
all be loaded immediately on start up just as if they had been located in the
Plugins directory.
The idea rather is to delay as long as possible the calls to LoadPlugin,
e.g. if the commands are related to a particular project or effect
only load them when the project is being worked on. It might be a custom
command
that gets called when you click a button that loads everything if it is not
already
loaded. Or might be a question of locating your plug-ins on different
workgroups.
Hope this helps,
-Andrew

Subject: Loading plugins with another plugin
Hello,
I have been searching for a post made by Olivier Ozoux, where he
stated that he puts self-installed commands outside the actual Plugins
directories of XSI, so this does not cause a hang in XSI when you
bring an explorer for the time during a session.
I would like to experiment with the idea, as this hang is very
annoying. However I cannot find this email.
I have tried putting a LoadPlugin() command in the XSLoadPlugin()
function of a self-installed plugin to load "remote" plugins at
startup, but does that does not prevent the hang once I switch to an
explorer. Any suggestion welcome.
Thanks!
Bernard
