Plugins update-in-place

Post by dcrider » Mon Oct 19, 2020 8:51 am

Does anyone have a way to update custom plugins without requiring a restart of OpenDental? I'm not entirely sure it's possible, but it would make my life a ton easier and google hasn't been helpful thus far in my research.

We have about 25 locations across 4 States and sometimes I need to deploy a fix in the middle of the day (not ideal, but emergencies do happen). Asking that many offices (with 4-5 computers accessing OpenDental per office at any given time) is a bit of a headache and doesn't always happen.

I don't think it is possible, but you need a response from the official OpenDental team to be sure...

Once plugins are loaded, there isn't any way to reload them without restarting the program.
