Rev Conference Toolbar available for download...

[Chipp Walters]

For all of you who were at the Rev Conference and for those of you who
missed it...

At the conference, I introduced a new plugin architecture based upon a
resizable, configurable and updateable toolbar -- for both Mac and PC. The
cool thing is, anyone can add ordinary stacks to this toolbar as a plugin.
But, there is also a way to add 'blessed' stacks which you can control
online updates simply. It is now ready and available for download. If you
are already an altPlugin user, the new architecture can work with your
existing plugins, but newer "blessed" versions of them are available. You
can find out more at:

>From the website:

altPlugin toolbar v3 is the ultimate plugin manager and available for both
Mac and PC. It has the following features:

? altPlugin now allows you to launch plugins from anywhere on your hard
disk. No longer do you have to put them in a designated folder.
? altPlugin supports any stack as a plugin. So, you can create a simple
stack with features you always need and load it via the 'Add Stack' command
with no modification.
? altPlugin plugins now update themselves. You can choose 'Check for
Updates' and altPlugin will look for any and all updates to the installed
plugins you have.
? PluginBuilder (an altPlugin itself) automatically creates plugin template
stacks or 'blesses' existing stacks so they, too, can be auto-updated
online.
? altPlugin is completely configurable with a resizable palette orientation
both vertical and horizontal. Icons can be easily resized and customized.
Also, the plugin display order can be modified.
? altPlugin toolbar 'snaps' to screen edges to help conserve screen real
estate.

Also, altPlugin does not modify anything in the current RunRev IDE. No
frontscripts are inserted. The intention is to make altPlugin 'transparent'
to the IDE.
