FuBar 1.2 plugins and myAddOns

[wmrojer]

How is it that almost all version 1.2 FuBar plugins generates an error in myAddOns?

It's quite simple to register with myAddOns, and yet almost all get it wrong.

There is ONE required field, name. And it has to match the directory/.toc or the Title in the .toc file.

I made the following change to myAddOns to make it more forgiving about color information. Posted this on the myAddOns thread also.
