Yes please do file a bug report. It's not that difficult to recopy wiped out plugins after an upgrade, but it would be nicer not having to do this. And this problem does not exist on Windows/Linux, so I guess it should not happen on a mac either. -- chrisinparis

I've never lost any plugins on my server, and it's been running for almost two years continuous. The only change was obviously from 6 to 7 when they all moved to 'App Support'. I tend to download the latest nightly once a week or more and have never seen this. Are you guys installing for ALL

All users as well. As I use iPeng, I tend to install plugins to the folder specified by it. BTW, has anyone encountered scanning issues (full scan, recscan for new/changed music does not work, navigating to a folder and playing an album does work) since going to 7.1? I don't want to sidetrack

Updated to 7.1 from 7.0 on Mac OS X (10.4.11) PPC a couple of days ago. Noticed that all my plugins were deleted. Is this expected behaviour? Or did something go wrong on my system? Fortunately I had a feeling that this might happen, so I was able to restore from a backup made just a couple of

For some reason your installation is wiping out that plugins folder. this didn't occur with my installation of 7.1 from 7.02. I'm running osx 10.5.4. also there's been a nice change in the squeezecenter software in that if you delete your cache folder all of your settings still remain intact.

Always happens to me when I update SC on Mac. Maybe it's different whether you use the Plugins folder in the Library path or in the Application Support section. Although with the latter some plugins won't work. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com

My experience is the same as Pippin's - plugins always get wiped. Look on the status page of SC - there it lists all the folder that SC checks for plugins. As Pippin, says some plugins do not work in all folders (this was the case for LazySearch and iPeng IIRC). Currently I copy all my
