Nick,

I propose that the plugin wizard be less destructive in its creation process. Having MUSH automatically select all triggers, timers, variables, and aliases to be buried into the plugin is actually less intuitive than having to go to each tab and selecting what you want.

Logic behind the request: I have about 75-100 aliases and triggers in MUSHclient, but I write a lot of triggers. I also have variables and timers that exist outside plugins. If I use the plugin wizard, and I forget even just one tab, all of those contents are brought into the plugin and I have to fish it out manually. I'd much rather go through the each tab and select what I want knowing that if I don't need timers, I don't need to visit the timers tab.

I'm actually surprised the default behavior is to select all, though in a way, I suppose it can make sense, too.

Thank you!

Yes, good idea. I've changed it to default to not selected.

This is incorporated in the latest pre-release version. See http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=13903 for how to obtain that.
