------- Comment #5 from Jan Schmidt  2006-08-13 12:08 UTC -------
<ensonic> bilboed, I think the extra extensions will also have an extra path,
when the registry comes across a new gst-plugin (that registers custom
path/ext) it needs to scan anyway
<ensonic> bilboed, the custom paths need only be scanned with the custom
extension registered for it
<bilboed> ensonic, yeah, was thinking about it again ... and there's no way to
avoid having to scan the directories seperately/again
<ensonic> bilboed, i don'T see the 'again'
<bilboed> ensonic, if an existing plugin modifies a registered path for ex
<natyaht> bilboed: the whole point of registering a plugin path should be to
mark the plugin that 'owns' that path as dirty
<bilboed> ensonic, or scanning an existing path with modified extensions
<bilboed> natyaht, the combination of extension and path, yes
<natyaht> yes, but that should just trigger the plugin being loaded in order to
register all its elements
<bilboed> natyaht, of course
<natyaht> so, if a plugin is registering a new path...
<natyaht> that implies it has just been loaded
<natyaht> which implies it has just registered all the elements it knows about
<bilboed> natyaht, aaah, true
<natyaht> which means you don't need to go back and scan the directories
<ensonic> ... and then the registration info is corect anyway
<natyaht> so, I think these things should be a new type of plugin feature
