Great. I'll fetch it. The svn url you gave seems to for the top level
dir (including hooks etc) - was that intentional? I guess its just the
'prova' dir that needs to go into the plugins folder?

Great.

Since you have Qt4 at your fingertips look at QDir::separator() which
will give the correct string for the OS separator. There is also a
call on QDir::nativeSeparators(QString) which will convert a path to
the platform native separator format. Both are static calls so you
dont need an instance first.

Tim
