I've done a little experimenting to try to see what MiP GUI actually does when you create filters - the upshot is it modifies the .m3lib file (MiP database/ cache). Closing MiP GUI and then doing a browser refresh or repointing your browser to localhost:10002 shows that MiP headless detects the change in the DB and notifies you with a message "Cache has been modified on disk". Clicking the "Reload Cache" button causes MiP to reload it, following which a refresh of the SC Plugins page or repointing your browser to Settings/Plugins/MiP Settings causes all the filters to be visible in SC, so the good news is there is no need to reboot or restart MiP headless and/ or SC to use filters. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
