Wayne, What exactly are you serializing to and from? If it's just a string saved to a loaded from a database, why not just add public methods to the plugin object to serialize to and from a string? My goal is to have my database contain legacy-format symbol data (since the new format doesn't

2019-03-13 Thread Brian
Attached is a patch solely for extracting legacy LIB_PART read/write code from the SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN_CACHE into a complementary pair of classes, as previously described / discussed. I'm pretty sure I got it right this time, formatting and all... I'm still getting used to the process.
