By var you mean FARSTANDARDFUNCTIONS structure, right?

If I understand this correctly, FSF in PluginStartupInfo structure holds the address of FARSTANDARDFUNCTIONS structure. So, when you copy PluginStartupInfo the address stays the same.

Well, it is possible if only somebody will supply me with info and physical write privileges (it looks like I've already got verbal ones). =) But my free time is very limited sometimes so I can't guarantee anything. I guess SetStartupInfo is the first call and it is done only once per far session. T...

For good syncronization simple date compare is just not enough - additional information must be kept within or files will never be deleted. Might be a SVN like approach, with meta-information only. However, the structure of this information is yet to be designed. I think Palm HotSync is the best and...

Far API entrypoint - technical intro chapter required

It will be nice to see diagram of Far interaction with plugins before the list of exported functions. For example - with information in which order and when specific functions are executed?

For now these are actual - SetStartupInfo, OpenPlugin, GetPluginInfo,
GetOpenPluginInfo

FarStandartFunctions persistance

From API reference in SetStartupInfo page If the plugin uses "standard functions" from the FarStandardFunctions structure then the PluginStartupInfo.FSF member must be copied to an internal variable for further usage: static struct PluginStartupInfo Info; static struct FarStandardFunctions...

I think the most important thing by far to add to FAR right now is Unicode support.
Yep. It is like an invisible banner above our heads for some years by now. =)

Plugin writing languages

After reading Lyrical introduction to plugins I wonder - how many and which languages have been used to successfully write far plugin up to present time? There is a very limited phrase concerning this question at above url. In particular in mentions "...very few requirements; almost any program...

generic file indexing engine

To make it easier to search for information on the whole hard disk it is worth to consider an indexing engine, such as lucene. http://lucene.apache.org/ Not always applicable, but can be very useful to index information on a local network. There is an addon for lucene called Nutch, which seems to be...
