Hello Allan,

I am experimenting with another plugin, but TM does not want to load it:

	"instance TmShortcutSnitch plugin doesn't have proper initializer"

TmShortcutSnitch does have

	- (id)initWithPlugInController:(id)aController;
	- (void)deregister;
	- (void)dealloc;

What am I missing?

Gerd

This error might also be because the bundle has no principal class.  
Here's the code I use to instantiate the plug-in:

    [plugInBundle load];
    id obj = [[plugInBundle principalClass] alloc];
    if([obj respondsToSelector:@selector(initWithPlugInController:)])
          instance = [obj initWithPlugInController: 
[TMPlugInController sharedInstance]];
    else  NSLog(@"%s %@ plugin doesn't have proper initializer",  
_cmd, [self name]);

Here `plugInBundle` is an NSBundle instance.

Yep, that's it. Even though the class is the first in XCode AND  
listed as NSPrincipalClass in Info.plist, the bundle returns 'NULL'  
as principal class. No idea why, it 'just worked' with  
TmCodeBrowser... The plugin is here:

	http://www.cocoabits.com/TmShortcutSnitch/

I am currently instantiating it during +load, which is sort of ugly...
