For the Pd-extended 0.43 release, I want to keep the old help browser on the Help menu. Then later, I think it can be removed. Makes for an easier transition, IMHO.
Ok, that should work then because I'm not stealing it yet. It just says "Browser2.0" in the Help menu below it. :)

As for removing menu items, there is a menu command that can do that.

Don't use this one yet, because I have some more changes to make based on the following question:
- How do I remove the old helpbrowser entry from the
"Help" menu from inside my plugin?
That way the new helpbrowser will show up for new users, along with an accelerator <ctrl-g>, without disturbing old grumps and their <ctrl-b> browser.

For Pd-extended, I'd much rather keep it as a plugin than make it
an
internal file. I think it will be much easier for you to work on the search
plugin if
it stays as a plugin. If its a plugin that's included in
Pd-extended, it
can be upgraded by the user by just dropping a new version into
~/pd-externals.
The dev process will be easier too, since updates won't have to go
thru the
patch tracker to be accepted into pd-extended.git.
For Vanilla, you'll have to ask Miller. I think this same approach
could
work for vanilla too with the same advantages. All that Miller would need
to do to
include it is check in the search-plugin into pd/extra/

I already did substantial work on the drop-in replacement for the helpbrowser based on the feedback I got. I had no idea the gui-plugin infrastructure was ready to ship actual plugins running by default in pd-extended.

Hey Jonathan,
I committed your latest search-plugin.tcl into scripts/guiplugins/search-plugin, overwriting my original,
simple one.
I put
it there because I'm adding it to Pd-extended. I think it
makes
sense to
just include your plugin directly rather than as a remixed
helpbrowser.tcl.
I also
just committed a check that makes sure that pd-gui doesn't
try to
load a
plugin that has already been loaded. That way when you make
new version
of the
search plugin, people can just drop it into ~/pd-externals and
it'll
override the built-in search-plugin.tcl.
As for scripts/guiplugins/search-plugin, feel free to take
that over
and do
whatever you want with it. I can't see a reason to keep
the old
one around
any more, your search plugin is very thorough.
