Release MQ2PluginManager

[MamaBear]

Have you already moved the MQ folder out of the program files folder?
Your macroquest.ini should be saving whether you start an addon by default or not, as soon as you load or unload a plugin... but please note, it is not character specific.
If that is not happening, this again may be indicative of not macroquest.ini not being able to save.

To be sure we are speaking about the same thing, could you explain how you are "reselect(ing) all the loaded plugins"?

Hi, thanks for responding...
I did not yet move the folder because I started wondering if my auto logon that was set up for me would be lost if I did?

So NOT char specific? Does that mean that each one of my accounts will use the same selected plugins?
So what happens is every time I log on for instance my Wizard I have to bring up the plugin manager and select the Wizard plugin
it is not still selected from last time I logged on. Plus things I unselect and don't use are again selected!

SO I need like all the ones I use selected on any one plugin manager? Like my Enchanter and Cleric should be selected on my Wizards plugins?
What I have been doing is bringing up /pluginman on each
every time I log in and select their particular plugin and remove the ones that I don't use. (on each!)

Right... You can safely have the class plugins loaded, regardless of class.

So this menas you have been telling your macroquest.ini to update to say "don't load these plugins I'm clicking off".

There's no real good reason to unload those plugins, they don't do anything (impactfully measurable) on toons that don't match

If I bring on my Wizard should I have to select Wizard plugin each time? I believe it used to be as I left it when I come back on?

It does reload the ones I click off though. Some are windows on my screen like showing what pops in the zone and such I don't use.
So each time I come on I have to remove the ones I don't need or want and resect the ones I do need like my Wizard plugin.

Thank you I just thought I read that less plugins loaded was good. I misunderstood.

You aren't necessarily wrong, but in this particular case, they are doing nothing and consuming negligible resources, if any.

I would say that in general, not running a bunch of stuff you don't use or don't need seems like a decent idea to me, though.
