favourites are lost if plug-in is disabled (or not present) when MacFusion launches #193

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

1. create a MacFusion favourite for an EncFSLong volume

2. quit from MacFusion

3. Finder | Get Info for MacFusion, disable (un-check) EncFS.plugin

4. launch MacFusion

5. quit from MacFusion

6. Finder | Get Info for MacFusion, enable EncFS.plugin

Expected
--------

Favourites should never be lost.

Actual
------

MacFusion favourites for EncFSLong are lost. 

The same may be true for other plug-ins, I have not tested. 

The same is true if you launch a recently-built version of MacFusion that lacks 
the plug-in. 

The same is probably true if you launch MacFusion at a computer that does not 
have the plug-in 
in a directory such as 
~/Library/Application Support/MacFusion/PlugIns
or 
/Library/Application Support/MacFusion/PlugIns
or 
/Network/Library/Application Support/MacFusion/PlugIns 

-- this could easily happen in lab environments. 

Thoughts, suggestions
---------------------

Favourites are less disposable than other preferences.

Favourites for plug-ins should be 
independent of 
preferences for MacFusion. 

Favourites might be saved to 
~/Library/Application Support/MacFusion

-- maybe one file (plist?) per favourite.

Looking ahead, if MacFusion supports 
document-based favourites, they might be saved to 
~/Library/Favorites/

Should be fixed in SVN.
Please verify.

Verified. 

Removed FTPFS.plugin and SSHFS.plugin from MacFusion. Launched MacFusion. 
Visible favourites related to 
EncFS.plugin, which is at /Library/Application Support/MacFusion/PlugIns/

Quit from MacFusion. 

Launched a copy of MacFusion that includes FTPFS.plugin and SSHFS.plugin. 
Favourites for those plug-ins 
reappear. Nice work :)
