There is one direction that I am tempted to pursue... my initial post was that we cannot run OSG using the plugin folder structure as is. When I saw your initial post I manually copied over to the directory structure you said where the plugin folder is in the same path as the bin. The problem is the plugins did not get loaded doing it this way... I have not investigated why yet, but I believe it is because we manipulate the current working directory to our art content folder. If osgRegistry tries to obtain the plugins via relative path or current working directory it would then fail. If all my guesses are correct then maybe there could be some DLL_OnProcessAttach that could cache the CWD before we go and change it.
Rick was almost persuaded to use the OSG workflow, but this issue made it too overwhelming to pursue. I may go in this direction if it is easy to determine. I guess the main reason I would want to go in this way... is to offer a solution that could benefit many. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean-Sébastien Guay" <jean-sebastien.g...@cm-labs.com> To: "OpenSceneGraph Users" <osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org> Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 3:28 PM Subject: Re: [osg-users] Can I change the plugin directory structure? > Hi James, > > > In short...
