When adding new attribute ID's (AM controllers) to a plugin (Tag plugin in this case)
the new ID's are not in the coffeesymbolcache file, thus are missing.
I can delete the coffeecache and it's all fine next start of Cinema.

How can I handle this automatically, is there a routine for this?

create a *.pyp file in your plugins folder which deletes the cache-file.

from    os  import remove  
path = "{MyPath2Coffesymbolcache}"  
try:  
  remove(path)  
except:  
  pass

Hm, could do, but afaik the file is only rewritten when you close/restart
Cinema.
A simple test I did, I trashed the file manually while Cinema was running,
then opened my updated plugin and the ID was missing...
It can't be that every plugin dev trash that file for every update, can it?

It works fine here.
All plugins are initialized first and *then* the coffeesymbolcache is written.

Thanks Niklas.
It does work, but it seems very brutal, doesn't it?

For a, hopefully, platform independent clean up i now run
(in a file called *.pyp placed in my plugins folder)

Anyone running Windows dear to test !
You should see that the "coffeesymbolcache" file gets a
new creation date.

I'll see if I add a deletion routine in my own plugin at
init (opening the plugin) to clear the *pyp file not to
clear at every new start up of Cinema.

Sebastian, Matthias, am I on the right track here?

And by messing with symbols I need to use the number 1 (instead of C4D_PATH_PREFS) in the pyp file
as symbols are trashed.... oh my..
