Is there a way to get a duplicate of the internal "user defined usb device" plugin in the event you have 2 (or more) devices you want to handle? I have the original Nook Simple Touch and recently got a NST Glowlight too, but I disabled the internal Nook plugins. I did that because I didn't like how ebooks sent to the device would be put into the "/My Files/Books/" directory on the root of an external sd card in the device, and I couldn't find out any way to change that and write them to an arbitrary location anywhere on the sd card. The solution I found here in the forums is to use the "user defined usb device" plugin, which I have working perfectly, but I've hit a snag now. The vendor ID, usb product ID, revision ID, and vendor strings are the same for both the NST and NSTG (0x2080, 0x0003, 0x0216, B), but the ID strings differ (EBOOK_DISK on NST vs. NOOK_SIMPLETOUCH on the NSTG). I can't find a way to let that plugin work with both devices at the same time, so I need to duplicate that plugin if possible, unless there's a way to configure mutiple ID strings to get detected.
