I had not thought of it. I was thinking to get the export done immediately, not schedule it for later. But "later" could be now + 1µs. Pleased as I was with my spawning and monitoring code, I'd be more pleased to ditch it and let someone else manage all that hair. Thanks for the nudge. But I was never happy with spawning subprocesses at all. I felt compelled to run the packager from the commandline because the only otherwise suitable method for directly calling it is 'protected' and thus not visible from my code. But it was pointed out to me that I can just do what it does: ask the PluginManager for a reference to the AIP plugin and call *that* directly, since the plugin's methods are 'public'. The code has been updated to do that. This also removed a dodgy path assumption. The subprocess approach was also unsatisfactory because of the potential to fork-bomb the system when batch loading large quantities of items, or making other bulk changes. Using a job scheduler could have tamed that. -- Mark H.
