Description Matthew Truch 2003-09-25 15:09:39 UTC

Version:           0.92 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

Users can install kst plugins, which get put into their home directories.  There should be a site-wide directory for kst plugins as well.  This would allow common plugins to be available (without having to install them) to all users; as if they were installed into kst install time.  If the same (named) plugin is installed site-wide and in the users home directory, the home directory version should take precidence.

   This was discussed previously as well.  Is there a standard for where these 
XML defined plugins get installed?  Otherwise we need to define one.  This 
also touches on the whole plugin issue again.  XDG defines this nicely... 
~/.local/ for binaries.  KDE is not XDG compliant until 3.2.  I could copy 
some of the XDG code into Kst and conditionally compile it if that's desired.  
I'm not sure if it addresses system-wide binaries though.
