Description William Jon McCann 2012-05-03 17:52:11 UTC 
It seems that eplugins are read from the home directory by default. It might be better to use the xdg data dirs for this.
Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2012-05-03 18:54:09 UTC 
Example?  I don't know what we'd be reading from the home directory.
Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2012-05-03 19:25:13 UTC 
Yeah, eplugins :)

e-util/e-plugin.c:              path = g_build_filename(g_get_home_dir(), ".eplugins", NULL);
Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2012-05-03 20:13:53 UTC 
Oh wow.  If even I didn't know about that, I can't imagine anyone else does.  I've never ever heard anyone using it.  The EPlugin framework is gradually being decommissioned anyway, so I'm just going to rip that hidden feature out and see if anyone notices.

Fixed for Evolution 3.5.2 in:
