* We would like to drop support for Specialists directly containing data plug-ins. This feature was intended to allow for acquiring shared data plug-ins from within Racks, so that common attribute or sheet providers could be shared among Racks without copying. In practice, Ty and I have never once used this capability, and it could be easily replaced with the ability to "include" a SkinScript within another SkinScript, if we take advantage of 2.2.x-isms.
I have been putting CatalogTriggers as DataManagers directly in Specialists. This seems to me the obvious place to do some triggering action that applies over all the Specialist's racks, but which has nothing to do with storage. I don't yet use SkinScript. However, I imagine there are a number of uses for Triggers that apply at the level of abstraction of a Specialist. Please think about keeping the feature, if it doesn't make things too complicated. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
