[geeklog-devtalk] geeklog-devel digest, Vol 1 #487 - 2 msgs

[Michael Askew]

I've uploaded a new patch. This time it uses the new PLG_getiteminfo  
function. As such, further changes to lib-plugin are not needed and the  
Filemgmt patch is obsolete.

The patch is on the tracker page for this feature:
