I like Rinaldi's SmartSave for automatic regular saves, and my own

Rinaldi, Chipp Walters, Rev user contributions and I monitor

Yes, once when I tried to rename one of my plugins to rev... to stop it 
showing up in the Application Browser. For some unknown reason it 
stopped working altogether. I didn't spend a lot of time trying to find 
the problem, but I would like more info on when & how best to use the 
rev prefix.

Plugins :-)

I like to automate any process that I find tedious &/or annoying. At 
the moment, the main culprit is the popup menu on the Properties 
palette, so a plugin that allowed for easy navigation of the palette 
might be a good idea.
Another one that was suggested on this list a while ago, was a startup 
plugin where you could add any scripts that you like to run 
automatically on startup: setting the tool, arranging palettes etc.

Thanks! I've been a bit busy lately, but there should be another 
article along soon.
