Description Cyb Org 2006-03-17 00:18:06 UTC

Version:           0.12 svn (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9) 
OS:                Linux

Just switched from 0.11 svn to 0.12 and compiled Kopete 0.12 today morning (16.03.2006)

I have set up several Aliases with the Alias Plugin in 0.11, also added a new one with 0.12
(some using "say", some "exec" for formatting links and so on)

To give an example, I have an Alias called "wiki", which should format the words after it and put together a wikipedia link for my conversation-partner to click on.

The Aliasses dont work if I start up kopete, if i type:
/wiki something
exactly this text is said to the person i am talking to.

*** To make the Aliases work, I have simply to open the configure Plugins Dialog. I dont even have to change something, I can even press Cancel, but after this action all aliases work perfectly again. ***

Afterwards, if i type in /wiki something
it says "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/something" like it should.

I think, the Alias Plugin isnt initialized or hooked in properly at startup. It worked flawlessy in 0.11 svn.

Confirmed that the Alias plugin isn't loaded on startup with 0.12.3 - no upgrade from 0.11 involved.

Default plugin loading was fixed in branch by r730464

I recently tested the alias plugin and it seems to be not initialised at startup.
