I can see now that this won't be easy but rather a steep learning curve... Being a 2nd class citizen and coming from a Windows background it is definitely rough ;)
First off the plugin directory was empty on my fresh install and although many threads were dealing with this seemingly common problem there was no solution. But I solved it to get around the problem and download it first and upload it to the server. [edit: this morning they are just appeared]
Q1: After installing 6-7 plugin (this is my test install to figure out things) I've noticed that the directory was named /mnt/jailname/jails/customplugin_1
Can I rename this for /mnt/jailname/jails/pluginname or this will throw up a lot of issues? Or should I just get on with life?
Q2: When setting up the plugin (e.g. transmission's watch directory) you have to set up it's working directories within the plugin jail. You have directories like bin, boot, dev, etc, etc. - which of these can I use aka which is the equivalent of Windows' user directory where I don't bother the system files? [edit: I have created a dataset called downloads in Volumes for this jail and now it appears as a directory when I edit Transmisson's settings. Is that it?!? But then what about "subdirs"? Should I create a dataset called "incomplete" in "downloads"? Does this mean dataset = win dir?]
Disclaimer: I am sorry if these questions hurt your feelings I totally understand your pain :D
