It is very beneficial to be able to store all custom FME work between versions and installations. FME has "FME Shared Folders".

However, while this works for connections, transformers et.al., it apparently doesn't include custom formats developed with e.g. Python.

My suggestion is to add this possibility to the "FME Shared Folder" functionality.

Basically it would just require FME to scan a few additional folders during startup, so it's not that big change, I think.

Cheers.

This is key for FME Server, and essential for FME Cloud. Deploying a custom format plugin currently requires access to the installation directory, namely subdirectories: formatsinfo, metafile, schema and plugins.

Perhaps make these subfolders accessible via the admin console, or - as suggested - have a parallel directory/directories that can be read on startup.
