Ah, thanks!
In that case the real problem is with the man page which says
-p path
Set an alternative path for the plugins.
I (now) note that running the binary with no options does list -pp in
the resulting help text. But it also lists a bunch of other/different
options which lead me to believe the yafaray-xml.1 man page provided in
the package is now rather obsolete/misleading... seems to be one of
those created-for-Debian ones cooked up in the absence of one being
provided by upstream. Update, or reduce it down to simply refer to
another source of documentation ? (Better to contain no information
than false information IMHO).
Anyway, I'll leave it at that... thanks again
Tim
