hello
this is the location of the plugins
\PortableApps\PhotoFiltrePortable\App\PhotoFiltre\Plugins
there is no specific PA.c pakage for the plugins so i just download it from the PhotoFiltre site and extracted them into that location
when updating a future release of PhotoFiltre Portable using the PA.c Updater will i loose the plugins or will be kept ?

The only folder that gets saved is \Data and whatever it includes as in:
\PortableApps\PhotoFiltrePortable\Data\
neutron1132 (at) usa (dot) com
Check if the file
App\AppInfo\Installer.inicontains something like:Previously known as kAlug.
because the App\AppInfo\Installer.ini tells the installer to keep the App folder.

The
RemoveAppDirectory=falseline keeps the App folder from being deleted, which means plugins won't be deleted either.@John: should that be changed to only preserve the plugin and language folders, or do you think the entire App folder should be preserved?

If you keep the entire "App" folder, the base app won't get updated as the new files are ignored.
Updated files will be updated. The problem is only that files which have been deleted in the new version won't be, so you could potentially get things breaking as a result.

There is a reason that RemoveAppDirectory defaults to true. You should use PreserveDirectory lines unless it's arbitrary what needs to be kept.

I'll pull that
RemoveAppDirectoryand replace it with aPreserveDirectoryfor Plugins and one for Languages. Do you think I should preserve Masks, Patterns, and Selections too? (I'm inclined to, just in case the user has some custom stuff set up, but I don't want to go overboard on preserving things)While we're discussing this, do you think it warrants a revision? Photofiltre is rarely updated (looking at its changelog, time between updates has ranged from a few months to nearly a year), so I'm favoring a revision just so the fix actually gets out the door.
