[Suggestion] less crashy plugins

Post by ghosttie »

Currently if a plugin throws an exception Rainmeter crashes - how about wrapping any interaction with the plugin with an exception handler?

It is not safe to catch exceptions across binaries as the plugin may be compiled with a different compiler (or different compiler settings). You should handle the exceptions within your plugin.
