Re: "Importoldchangelog plugin not disabled after import"

This is because the web server has to have write permissions to the importoldchangelog plugin folder, to 'touch' the necessary "disabled" file to keep the plugin from being loaded.

in ./lib/plugins/importoldchangelog/action.php
  function importoldchangelog_plugin_shutdown():
    plugin_disable('importoldchangelog'); // only needs to run once

in ./inc/pluginutils.php
  function plugin_disable($name):
    return @touch(DOKU_PLUGIN.$name.'/disabled');

So, I don't know whether this should be considered a bug in the plugin, in dokuwiki, or if its simply required that the ./lib/plugins hierarchy be writable by the web server.

In the mean time, just touch ./lib/plugins/importoldchangelog/disabled manually to get rid of the warning.
