Plugin shortcuts
I notice if I manually install plugins in PM portable by copying the respective DLLs to <PMdirectory>/Lib/Mozilla/Plugins they do get detected generally.
But pasting there a *shortcut* to an actual DLL file located elsewhere doesn't work, it doesn't get detected at all.
Is this expected?
Could there be a way to make this work?
Thanks.

Re: Plugin shortcuts
Instead of a shortcut, how about a hardlink?

Re: Plugin shortcuts
So it's really not possible to use any type of reference links there?

Symbolic Links SHOULD do the job but a windows shortcut? Nah dood.
Re: Plugin shortcuts
IIRC there's a junction tool in Sysinternals for creating a junction, that's similar to a symbolic link on Windows. I've used it a couple of times, could be worth trying out here.

Re: Plugin shortcuts
Filesystem links may or may not work; they are finicky when it comes to dealing with libraries/dlls and function calls into them.
What exactly is the problem copying a dll or two into your portable (and keeping it portable that way...)? Why do you want to link in the first place?
