about it's persistency though)

If I'm getting right what you mean by persistence, plugins-plugin uses the "move to /disabled" method too. Actually, I don't really sympathise with that method, and I was trying to advocate something else (also because you may not have write access to every folder) and I'll be happy to update the plugin as soon as a cleaner method is agreed on.

why not using the new ::pd_guiprefs system ?

instead of moving/renaming files, just write active plugins list to a file/registry (like recentfiles) ?

I'd find this better than the current anything-found-is-active behavior and IMHO something like that should go into main pd.
