I didn't mean to change the priority yet. Thanks for spotting it :)

For CliPlugins, Ark now also searches for executables (as specified in ParameterList in the individual plugins) in standard path after the plugin has been loaded and if they are not found moves on to next plugin in list. It requires all four type of executables to be found (ListProgram, ExtractProgram, AddProgram and DeleteProgram). However, if the plugin is readonly (as specified by the X-KDE-Kerfuffle-ReadWrite property in the desktop file), it only requires ListProgram and ExtractProgram.
