Export only used plugins

Hey everyone, this is a really simple question probably. How do you export an app only with the plugins that the project uses? Is this possible? I have a long list of plugins but I only use a handful per project and only want to export the ones used.

Dis cussed many times. The beauty of buzztouch is that you may not use the plugin now but you may want it later. If its in the package it can be dynamically updated through the control panel. If not you will have to upload a new binary. There are only a few plugins that will crash if all the files aren't there. My aurasma plugin is one, (due to the fact the kernel is about 60mb and can be updated quite quickly by aurasma.) I add everything then delete the plugins I know will not be used. If you delete only the references, the errors disappear but you can drag them back in from finder, and not have to redownload the source code

That's just the way it's done. The reason it's done this way is so you can 'add' and 'delete' different screens, without having to download a new package every few minutes. I could be wrong, but when I was a younger more vibrant programmer, if a module wasn't used, it wasn't compiled with the product. I'm going on faith that this is the way it still is. So, if I'm correct, then all those 'unused' plugins won't be in your final package anyway. Hope this helps. But if it just bugs you to see them, you can delete the 'unused' plugins with impunity. but if you add a new screen on your control panel, you'll have to prepare and download a new package.

Hi, you can just delete them from Xcode and your app folder. No Harm. Cheers, Miguel
