Hey Kim,
I wouldn't mind looking at this example, because maybe it's related to
this problem I have.
Via a self-installed plugin, I create a PPG. Apparently, the only way to
add a new parameter after the PPG has been created is to delete the PPG
and rebuild it. But if I had connected outside expressions to the
parameters of that PPG, they disappear with it and of course do not
magically reappear and connect to the new PPG. So I have another script
rebuilding the expressions. I find this rather convoluted and hard to
maintain and reuse... isn't there a better way?
