Dear smath team,

In version 1.3.9126 the plugins are no longer directly in the folder "plugins/" but each in a very lengthy name subdirectory of the plugins folder.
I've prepared a new Archlinux pkgbuild to reflect this change but this was a bit of work. So my question is will these directory names constant or are they dependant on the version of the plugin and are they likely to change?
If they are changing may i kindly request considering putting the plugin files as they were before (without the subdirectory) in the future releases?
Of course only if there is no technical problem with that.

Kind regards,
Tom

Hello SMath team,
It would be nice to have a plung-in cleaner, simple utility to remove old or obsolete versions of the plug-ins.
After multiple plug-in updates, you might accumulate quite a lot of garbage in the plug-in directories.
Thanks and best regards.

These directories have constant names. Actually the name of the directory equals to the plugin guid which is located inside. In future we may introduce new built-in plug-ins or remove/replace existing ones.

As I said they will not change on every build. This structure is required to load SMath Studio in the most efficient way.

Best regards.
