RE: deteminator Actions

[Ian Lowe]

Personally, I'd go for vendor only files: whilst we are endeavouring to
build something very professional in it's operation, there may always be
issues with slight niggles between different people's code - something
that the individual vendor files can address.

That being said - we do need to get the vendor files as populated as
possible - ultimately that's the key to the determinator system working
properly.

Which raises the question: Should two (or more) devices be able to share
the same plug-in?

Initially, the design was that every device would probably be different
in some way, so would require it's own plug-in information.

However, suppose Frank's device operates in exactly the same way as
Ian's, which is quite possible if they both follow the same OSD schema,
then shouldn't there just be one plug-in for them both?

However, if either Frank or Ian adds a new feature to their device, then
they'll require their own plug-in, so maybe it's better to keep each
device to it's own section?

Thoughts?

John
