Perhaps I'm just being unkind, but does anyone from Adobe read/respond on this forum. I used to read the labs forum which had far more activity and members of the Adobe team were active on ... now it appears like there's nothing. Does anyone know how we can access the old forum? it had loads of posts some of which might answer a few questions I've got.

On a more technical side does anyone know how I can determine what OS my plugin is running on (OSX/Windows). Also, perhaps I missed it, but is there anywhere for us plugin developers to request features? I've got a couple of things I'd love to see exposed over the SDK.

A final question, has anyone tried compiling their LUA scripts as an attempt to protect their investment?

Yep. You can compile using luac.

On Mac I just drag into the folder, and then in Terminal use ./luac filename in the folder to compile. I then rename luac.out. I could compile to a file, but I need to backup the text file and replace it with the compiled file, so I'd have to rename it anyway.

I'm sure with PC, it's a similar situation with a CLI.

I've seen that LUA files from Jeffrey Friedl (Export to Flickr and other sites) are compiled (well at least unreadable), so I guess yes, precompilation works.
