Hi J-S, This morning I awoke and I realised that perhaps this whole thread is rather barking up the wrong tree, as you have also deduced - the LibraryPathList is for principally for finding the plugins which is done at runtime, and plugins site in their own subdirectory and should not be installed alongside normal libs, and as such won't ever be found by normal OS library searching.
