RE: [webkit-dev] Directory for Safari 3 for Windows plugins that isn't in Program Files?
I've filed it in both Apple Radar (5430584) and WebKit Bugzilla (15053). Quickly poking through Trac, addPluginsFromRegistry() in PluginDatabaseWin.cpp looks to be the culprit; it's definitely only looking at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Thanks everyone for the help.

Since this is a WebKit bug, you could file it at http://bugs.webkit.org/ instead. -Adam On Aug 21, 2007, at 5:21 PM, David D. Kilzer wrote: Please file a bug using http://bugreport.apple.com/.

I think it's actually a WebKit bug, not a Safari bug, so in principle it could be filed in bugs.webkit.org instead or in addition. - Maciej Dave MILIANO Vitorio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anders Carlsson wrote: It won't matter where you install your plug-in as long as you add a registry entry for it as described in http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Plugins:_The_first_install_problem I've finally tested this, and this does not seem to be the case.

I know Firefox also checks %APPDATA%\Mozilla\plugins and Safari doesn't look there, but I'll file a bug as soon as I confirm there aren't any others. Have a look at Opera as well, I am not sure what its doing either. Does Microsoft provide a directory structure suggestion for stuff that is shared by different applications, if they aren't made by the same company?

Unlike on Linux, I don't think there's a standard path for plugins that's in the user's account folder.. sadly...
