I've always been of the opinion that the ability to load & unload plugins at run-time would be a useful feature. Unfortunately, it will require rewriting some core Apo functionality -- it doesn't appear that the original authors of Apo anticipated that the program would ever be extended in this way. I designed the original plugin interface code in such a way as to require no change to the existing Apo code, which assumed that variations never change after initialization. (Plugins simply appeared to the program as another built-in variation.)

If it requires a significant amount of effort to enable this, that effort may be better placed in redesigning Apo from the ground up, rather than trying to tweak existing code to do something it was never intended for. It may be, however, that most of the required changes would be limited to the transform manager -- in which case it may not be as big a job as it at first appears. I'll give it some thought, and see what I can do. (no guarantees that this particular feature will appear any time soon, though).

These are great suggestions -- keep them coming!
