buflist conflicting with buffers.pl

Overview

I recently upgraded weechat from 1.7 to 1.8 and noticed that my buffer list was being duplicated. After looking at the 1.8 Release Notes I noticed it mentioned - add plugin “buflist” (bar with list of buffers). This was obviously the problem since I was using buffers.pl (like most weechat users) which already offers this functionality.

Fix

The fix was easy enough. I just had to disable buflist.look.enabled. So from inside weechat:

/set buflist.look.enabled off
/save

Now weechat 1.8 should behave like normal with buffers.pl!
