Description Curtis Windatt

2010-12-01 14:44:17 EST

While the feature based launching is intended to be as simple as possible, there is still a need to support setting start levels on a few specific plug-ins.

The user can add individual plug-ins to the launch.  We can add some options to set the start level at the bottom of the plug-in selection dialog.  This might not be perfect because of the multi selection property of the dialog.  The start level info (if different then default) would be listed in the table as part of the first column.

The feature wouldn't be immediately obvious, but would be available for the special cases that need it.

Marking for 3.7, though there isn't anybody currently available to work on this.

There is also bug 328515 to improve feature launching in 3.7.

I'd love to be able to use feature-based launches, because 1. our headless builds are product/feature-based (so we waste time keeping the launch configs in sync with the feature definitions), and moreover we develop on multiple platforms (unlike feature-based launches, plugin-based launches are platform-specific, so that's another set of files that needs to be kept in sync)...

Plan for 4.13:

Add startlevel and autostart columns to the tree and make them editable for 'additional plugins'.
The value can be persisted in the existing additional_plugins property:

[plugin_id]:[version]:[resolution]:[checked]:[NEW startlevel]:[NEW autostart]
