That's an option but since the the application only knows of the
plugininterface class that each plugin implements, I would have to modify
the interface API which would also affect all other plugins. I'd like to
avoid that.

Currently, I'm going to solve my use case by adding a method to my plugin
manager class that can be used to query the path of any loaded plugin.

But my question is still open... anything similar to applicationDirPath()?

Cheers!
