Max number of plugins?
-
Is there a limit to how many plugins SU can handle? I've noticed as I've added some plugins that others have disappeared. "Fill small triangles" is one, I don't recall others off the top of my head.
I suppose it could be a conflict of some sort that causes them not to load.

I think it's a conflict. Do you get any error messages?
If you open the Console, do you get any messages there?
-
Nope, no errors in console.

There is an upper limit to the number of menu items that Windows can display (cumulative across all open apps). I've seen this happen - too many open apps, and my Plugins menu starts getting sparse. After closing an app or two, the menu items reappear.
It is possible that you really might have too many plugins, though it seems more likely a problem with too many open apps.

that's interesting... might explain some menu issues I'd had reported recently...

Interesting, I didn't know that. I'd be surprised if that was the cause; I almost always run SU all by itself, occasionally with Firefox. I've started it a couple of times all by itself to see if the menu item reappears, but no luck... I figure it's a conflict, but to go through and remove plugins one at a time to find the conflicting one is going to be a PITA.

I might have to reconsider my latest version of Selections Toys that add Select Deselect menu items for each layer in the model... Or at least put a cap limit to it for those models that contains an obscene amount of layers.
