To be honest, WiiFlow proper is dead and I think having a newer WiiFlow Lite standard would be great if it improves the experience a lot. The big question is how much work is it then to get the existing plugins working with the new layout?

Also can you post more specific information on what you're proposing here?

This is literally about tidying up the wiiflow/plugins folder Plugin.dols, plugin.inis, ogg files, and a selection of ambiguously named folders... It does tie-in with broader issues regarding in-interface configuration, but short term it's just a file management issue.

Gotcha, then my question is mainly is there a lot of work to make existing plugins conform or is that an easy one time thing?

kaisersozeh commented 6 years ago

The files defined in the plugin.inis are defined by name only - so the folder location is either assumed to be the same as the ini or is set by wiiflow code. Once the mechanism is determined, it's a question of defining the folders for inis plugins and oggs (and anything else) and moving the files to the designated folder. I really don't know what is going on in the plugins folder generally - question for fledge

If that's the case then this sounds like something that can be done relatively easily once we decide on the folder layout.
