I suppose that's true...I'm just thinking that those files are practically empty by default, and the mods that require them have their own versions. Do the plugin files have to exist in any form, no matter what, for EQ2Map to work properly? If not, it might save grumbles for them not to be included in the total update...
I was having problems with the POIFinder Updater for maybe the last week or two, and I found myself doing a LOT of "Re-Download"s and "Update All"s. It got to be a real PITA to copy that file over and over and over again. I know my situation was an extreme one, but I can't help but wonder how many people do total updates then can't figure out why their EQ2Map-dependent mods are suddenly broken.
Just tossing stuff out there...maybe it will happen, but maybe it won't, and I won't cry if my suggestion is shot down and goes out in a blaze of glory.
I do love both mods incredibly, and the auto-updaters are the best things since sliced bread, IMO...it's just these tiny sticking points that make me wonder.
