[Qgis-developer] set plugin enabled by default

[Stefan Kiefer]

Hi,
thanks a lot for the immediate answers. What you all say is true for 
plugins installed from a respository, resp. with the plugin-installer. 
What I need is when I put a custom plugin (one I made by myself) to the 
qgis/python/plugins-folder. Hence, if I do that the plugin can be 
activated in the pluginmanager, but is not activated by default.
The way is that one get an installer (in this case a selfextractable 
file) and the plugin gets copied to the plugins folder. Unfortunately 
then the user is forced to search in the pluginmanager for the new 
plugin to activate it. I need to realize this more comfortable, i.e. 
without confronting the user to open the plugin installer nor the 
manager ...

thanks for your efforts
