Hi,
Can somebody please explain the reasoning behind changing the autoexec.py feature to a single unmanaged autoexec.py file located under /userdata/ instead of an a script by script basis.
How are uninstalled plugins managed, I imagine the autoexec line is still left dangling?
Right now I'm using a snipplet of python code that locates the line in the file, creating it if it doesn't already exist but there's no way to remove this on uninstall nor is there a way to make sure other addons are behaving properly and not deleting my line.
I just find the current approach very immature, is this something that's being considered, and if not is it likely that if I code this functionality myself, it would be added into xbmc?
Thank you,
Drew
