I merged the pull request from marvil07 (he added the example scripts
from doc/dev/examples) today and the repository includes 4 scripts at
the moment.
Which features do you plan to remove from gPodder core? Do you already
have a list of this features so we could help to write the hook scripts.
If we move features to the hook scripts we should think about a way to
make it easy for users to activate this scripts in gPodder.
Something like "Preferences -> Plugins" could be possible?!
The problem I see at the moment is that some of the hook scripts need
some configuration (e.g: bittorrent script). Is it possible to create a
configuration file for each script and gPodder parses this configuration
files and show all the necessary options within the GUI and writes it
back to the configure file.
This files for each hook script could also store the enable/disable
state which should also be shown in the GUI.
Or should this hook system be a way for power users to configure gPodder
for the own needs?
