Disable autoload plugins to speed up initialization

[NoX1911]

Hi,
i'm using a MeGUI updated Avisynth version so my plugins folder is kinda full. Avisynth initialization needs 1-2 seconds with so many plugins here thus i'm manually moving not-needed plugins to a temp folder speeding up things a lot especially when pressing 'queue' or 'start' button in MeGUI.

To make things more comfortable for some cases i want to manually load plugins with LoadPlugins instead and disable 'autoload plugins'.

So, how can i disable autoload plugins (without changing the plugins path in reg)?

You can't disable the autoload feature.
The only thing you can do is basically what you are doing already, temporarily remove or rename (eg to .dll.x) the unwanted plugins in the folder.

You could have a number of folders, Plugins1, Plugins2, etc which you rename to Plugins to select the one you want at a particular time.

Currently, i have removed the reg path and test LoadPlugins with 'case-dependent' plugin selections. I wanted the path to remain set (in registry) to save absolute pathes in the LoadPlugin entry but doesn't seem to be possible i guess.

#LoadPlugin("F:\path\morepath\evenmorepath\Plugins\NicAudio.dll")
LoadPlugin("F:\path\morepath\evenmorepath\Plugins\BassAudio.dll")
#Load_Stdcall_Plugin("F:\path\morepath\evenmorepath\Plugins\ffavisynth.dll")
LoadPlugin("F:\path\morepath\evenmorepath\Plugins\DGAVCDecode.dll")

Currently, i have removed the reg path ...
Note that some parts of core Avisynth are not 'built-in' and are intended to be available via autoloading. In particular, if you have no plugins folder at all, it will not find DirectShowSource (or TCPDeliver, or the color names from colors_rgb.avsi).

I install all my third-party plug-ins into a separate folder and put .avsi scripts in the normal autoload directory that selectively call LoadPlugin on the ones I actively use.

I've removed StaxRip using auto loading, no longer does it copy anything to the plugin dir. I think Zathos did the same with MeGUI if I understood the changelog correctly. HDConvertToX and RipBot264 also use manual loading I think.

You could just not use megui and not use autoloading.
